~ " No, no no no, come on! Work, you piece of $#%@!"
The voice was driving him mad. The dark felt oppressive, as if a force all its own. Why didn't the guard let him in!? Nobody was coming out of their rooms? What the hell was going on here!?
Luke felt stunned. Something rooted him in place. He had to get out. He had to flee. Where? Elevator not working. Stairs nearby. Stairs. Had to find the stairs.
A sudden burst of insight struck him. Cutting through the layers of fear, a bout of clarity caused Luke to tear through his messenger bag, procuring the maglux flashlight he kept in it. Bright, and heavy enough to bash whatever it was that tried to stop him, Luke stumbled towards the end of the hallway by the elevators, knowing there had to be a staircase there. There had to. Fumbling with the torch, it took what seemed like an eternity to finally click the switch, hopefully basking the entire hallway in LED light.
But he didn't want to see the scene. He didn't want to know what owned that voice. He just wanted out, and would do anything to escape at this point. ~
