SM:Play With The Device
From Create Your Own Story
You start hitting buttons and flicking the switches at random. The timer on the display disappears and shows you essentially a log of just what you've been hitting: "356912946 RBBYGGRY 4613..."
At first the device doesn't seem to give a crap that you are playing with it, then you make it angry.
"Tampering detected. Releasing payload," is written on the display a moment before a slot on the bottom of the panel opens up and sprays you with a yellow gas.
The moment you breathe in the smallest bit of gas, it feels as though your body is on fire. You lose control of your muscles and collapse to the ground, involuntarily twitching. You can still see the device and it continues to rapidly release the gas into the air, many other people are also falling prey to it as it quickly spreads across the red house's front lawn. You aren't sure just how much is in there, or how far it will spread, but you get the feeling you just started something bad.
After a few minutes of just laying there, you find your nose bleeding and are having more and more difficulty breathing.
You can hear faint screams and cries in the distance, as well as the pained groans of people nearby but you can do nothing to help.
The mist before your eyes swirls about unexpectedly, and moments later you hear a whisper in your ear: "Thank you... thank you so much. Where you have failed, you have given me a dozen more to replace you. A dozen more that may actually succeed, and before this is over I'm sure there will be even more then that."
A cruel, haunting laughter follows and sends chills down your spine. You recognize the voice as the one you hear when you signed the contract not too long ago.
"You sit tight. As a reward for your help I'll allow you to be... comfortable. The last chance you'll have to get comfortable for the rest of eternity."
You try to object, to point out that it only has you until your debt is paid but you can't seem to speak anymore. You get the feeling that it hadn't misspoke, and are almost certain now that it intends to keep you even after your debt is paid.
"I will return to collect you shortly... " it says, and the mist before you swirls once more as the presence 'moves away' from you.
It only takes a few more minutes before you draw your last breath. Your body dies but you find yourself trapped within it, a soul trapped in its' own dead body. You cannot move, and cannot speak. You can only lay there and watch people nearby suffer the same fate, and hear the cries of others falling prey to the gas as they try to escape.
Game Over: You are trapped within your body until the voice collects you to serve it, now, and forever.
