Title: The What Would You Do? game #1: The Door that Must Never be Opened
Post by: Zedd on November 03, 2007, 04:26:58 PM
Hey there..The rules of this game..Im going to put you into a story like moment...Even if the theme of horror isnt quite popular but that dont stop me but heres your first test..Good luck..you'll need it
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a small suburban neighborhood there is a house. And in this house is a door that must never be opened.

The house looks just like all the other homes in the area, except that no one has ever lived there, and no one ever will. The blinds are always drawn, and a for-sale sign is prominently displayed on the front yard.

If you break in through the window, you will see that the house is completely empty. There are no walls and no furniture. There is, however, a hole.

Drilled directly through the floorboards and into the dirt, this hole has a long metal ladder attached inside it. If you plan on climbing down this ladder, don't bother bringing a flashlight, because it will only break.

As you descend deep into the bedrock below, the disgusting, gut-wrenching smell of rotting flesh will fill your nostrils, and you will begin to notice the roaches crawling along the walls, tickling your fingers with their antennae.

As the light from above you gets darker, you will just barely be able to make out the sticky red goo covering the walls. You think you know what it is, but it's best not to think about it.

When the top of the hole is only a pin-prick in size, you will begin to hear heavy, rasping breaths from below you.

When your feet touch the bottom, you will hear hollow crunching beneath your feet.
If you try to find the source of the breathing by running your hands across the maggot and roach encrusted stone walls in the pitch blackness, your hands will touch a door.

Judging from the peeling varnish and splintered edges, this door must be extremely old. As soon as your hand touches it, the breathing will stop. You'll hear a soft, gentle voice as sweet as honeydew.

The voice will say, "Excuse me, but I seem have locked myself in here. Could you please open the door?"

If I'd made it all the way there, I would ask who's talking before doing anything else.

Huh, interesting game...let's see then.

Pretty much the same with me.  "Only if you tell me who you are, and if you're trapped in here, why you're not screaming in fear in the process?  Shouldn't you have run out of oxygen before?"  Etc.  I'll be technical.   :3

Or you can just go with "Who are you and why should I?"

I severely doubt I'd go down in the first place, and I doubt many people would, which is why I would ask what the 'person' was doing down there, in the first place.

Prefferably i would have a large bottle of strong liquor, with a rag stuffed in the opening.

at this time i would apply fire to said rag, throw, and retreat to a safe distance to see if anything on fire walks out of the house

assuming I'm daft enough to go into such a creepy place...

As soon as the flashlight breaks, I pull out another one.

When that one doubtless breaks as well, I open them up to try to find what's wrong, before going any further.

If the door is locked, how are you going to find a key in pitch blackness?

If a flashlight is useless, why not bring a good old-fashioned flaming torch?

that was a nice one

first of all i would not go there unless i actually saw a reason to finally after going down and hearing the voice i'd imediatly open the door to see another dark passage with blue flamed torches. i'd then turn around and never go in there again and would probably make a web site out of it and leave the last page blank

Well for those opened the door foolishly: You find yourself in the closet surrounded in darkness...And slowly you feel a cold child pass by you and suddenly you light source dies and the door behind you snaps shut 


Those who answered through wit: The presence behind the door vanishes and the door opens by its self and inside was a skeleton with claw markings across the walls and the inside of the door with flys and maggots trailing from the copuse


Those who ran: The presence behind the door dims and becomes cold as the memory of the door that shouldnt be open haunts your mind till you die but till next time the door will be on the minds of your heirs forever

I moved and so I wound up taking a lot of stuff back to my folks' place in NY including most of my DVDs, games, and CDs. I had a jones to watch V the other day. Small apartments suck! *pouts*

I usually have to look up acronyms depending on what they are. I don't usually use them, but when someone pulls out something like, "AFAIK" or something like that, I go running for Google.
