Kristofer nearly slammed into a wall as he veered around a corner. He didn't dare look back at his pursuers, for fear that he might trip in the eerie twilight that filled this seemingly endless labyrinth of concrete hallways.
How could this have happened, he wondered. Less than a day ago I was relaxing in Florida! Careening around another corner, he nearly ran into his red haired partner; Katie. Wait, no, that's not right. He saw Katie die just a few minutes ago!
Kristofer narrowly dodged to the side as the mimicry of his former comrade lunged at him, snarling like some rabid beast. Quickly whirling around, he brought one of his two steel cudgels down on the back of the abomination's head before continuing his flight down the hallway.
"Running is futile," a deep voice reverberated around him. "In the end, you will die like the rest of your squad."
"Not on my watch," Kristofer muttered to himself.
In the distance, a light appeared in the semi-darkness. As Kristofer approached it, he found it to be a swirling white vortex in the middle of a doorway. Looking back, he saw two more shadows of his now deceased comrades running full tilt towards him down the corridor. Without another second of hesitation, he threw himself into the vortex.
"NOOO!" the voice screamed in fury, but it was too late. Kristofer had vanished, the vortex blinking out behind him.
Okay, this story will be a completely new concept for me. I can't go any farther into it due to spoilers, but I do promise that the rest of the chapters will (usually) be MUCH longer.
