Trapped

Disclaimer: I don't own saw, in fact it bloody well terrifies me!

I wake up, and all I can taste is blood. My arms and legs are bound to a hard metal chair, and my head feels heavy.

Oh shit.

I have just taken note of the large metal object on my face. A reverse bear trap. I can't believe it, Jigsaw doesn't exist, there's no such thing as 'the Jigsaw killer' it's just a movie!

At least, I think it is….

'Hello Jade, I'd like to play a game'

I turn my head, and see a monitor flicker into life. On screen is a puppet with a white face and red circles on the cheeks. It's scary; I look away and listen to the voice.

'You know what this trap does so I won't bother explaining it. Every day you send people away for the rest of their lives for breaking the law. And yet you have been seen, going into alleys and buying illegal drugs. Well, now we'll see what's more important to you, your life or your lie. You are as much a criminal as I am. Lets see how long it takes you to accept that. Let the games begin.'

No

No, no, no.

I feel my stomach churn and my head spin.

I have to kill someone.

I look through my eye slit to see who will be the one to suffer, but to my shock, I see no one. I blink, and rub my eyes to make sure that I'm not delirious.

Nope. No one.

Why would he put me in the reverse bear trap with no key? Jigsaw is a lot of awful things but he would always give you a way to escape. So where is the person I'm meant to cut open? Not that I'm looking forward to it, but I really want to get the terrible part out of the way. Where is it? In all of the movies with this trap, someone always has the key in their-

Oh no.

I rip off the rope that is binding my right hand to the chair and feel in my lap. It's there. Without having to think about it I throw the small knife across the dark room. I'd rather die quickly by reverse bear trap that stab myself to death. If I have to die, I'd rather not lose my guts.

As if it heard me, my stomach suddenly heaves, and I throw up all over the floor.

'Oh great' I say out loud 'now I'm covered in puke, and I'm going to die'

Suddenly, something catches my eye. A small silver glint in the pool of bright red vomit. The key. It's close enough to get with my hand without breaking the string. I quickly check the timer: one minute left, no time to be careful. I stand up so fast I hear my knees click, I hear the timer speed up. Counting down my last seconds. I grab the key and unlock the trap, then throw it across the room into a dark corner. 3 seconds later I hear it's large metal jaws snap open. I'm safe. I can go home and know that I'll live a long, happy life. One things for sure though, I'm giving up crack. I was put here for a reason, I should be grateful to be alive.

I wait for the door to open.

I wait.

And wait.

Waiting.

I go over to the door and knock.

No answer.

'Hello?' I call.

No answer.

Suddenly the monitor flickers into life, and the puppet reappears. Ever wonder what a pissed off puppet looks like?

'YOU!' it screeches at me 'Are a CHEAT! You think I'm gonna let you go just because you think you're smarter than I am? Get ready, miss whatever you name is, you are in for a world of pain'

The screen goes blank. I stand there, stunned, and then it hits me.

I'm not getting out.

I start hammering at the door, screeching.

'LET ME OUT! YOU BASTARD, YOU FUCKING BASTARD! LET ME OUT NOW! I WON, TAKE IT LIKE A MAN YOU FUCKING CUNT!'

A dart fires from a whole just underneath the monitor and hits me in the neck, then everything goes blank.
