You don’t exactly recall the events that led you here, but you had an idea. Mentally you weren’t okay, and decided to go to a nearby bar. While you were a bit tipsy, an attractive man came to hit on you. Knowing his effect on people, safe to assume you went home with him.

When you woke up, you couldn’t move. Looking around, you saw nothing as you were in a dark room. Your legs and wrists were tied down by what felt like metal straps. The feeling was cold against your skin. You tried calling for help but to no avail, no one answered. Didn’t help that your face was currently taped shut, did it?

All of a sudden the flunk and ringing noise of old lights turning on could be heard. From the left, a man in a skull mask approaches you. “Look at you all scared…” he chuckles, moving your hair away from your face.

He takes out a remote, pressing a button. All of a sudden you’re poked with several nails under your thighs. You winced in pain as the duct tape got ripped from your skin. “What- what is this?” you frantically asked. All he does is press a finger to your lips.

“A trap, my love. If you want to escape, you must follow these rules.” He takes a quick pause before continuing. “There’s a scale and bone detector on the table in front of you, along with a handsaw. You have 5 minutes to open your skin and break off a bone. When the bone is fully out and cleaned by your mouth, it is to be placed on the scale.”

“If the bone has any defects, is not clean, or the weight doesn’t meet the criteria, you will die. The chair will lay you flat. Underneath, there’s a large fire that will heat the metal chair, slowly burning you alive. If the bone is perfect, clean, and the fits the weight needed, the machine will unlock and free you.”

He unties your wrists and hands you the handsaw. With another remote, he turns the light off. “Oh, and you’ll be doing this in the dark. Good luck love, time starts now.” A ticking clock echos the cold room.
