'Where am I...?' Yuki thought, waking up in a strange, old room. There were two halves of a cage all along the long hallway. before him were rusty mousetraps,

A giant pit, and a person lying toward the end. He couldnt tell who. This was not good. A tv turned on next to him.

"Hello Yuki. I want to play a game. For years you have lived in the cage of your family. But you have always failed to leave the safety of this cage. Today, you

will be faced with another cage, and, not unlike the Sohma cage, you'd better get out now, before the doors close. Forever."

Yuki gasped. This was the Jigsaw killer, or someone quite like him. Not good. He continued listening.

"You have 10 minutes to overcome all of the obstacels in this room, and if you fail, this cage will shut, never to open again. Live or die, Yuki, you decide." A

loud ticking filled the hallway, and Yuki wasted no time sitting there. The rusty mousetraps had blades on them, and looked painful, as well as unavoidable.

Yuki gritted his teeth and began to run across them. 4 of them instantly snapped onto his feet, one of them on his achilles tendon. He screamed in pain, but

did not slow. He couldn't help slowing down though, and after 30 yards of 50, he fell, one clamping onto his face. He stood up, crying out in pain, but finished

the course.

7 minutes left.

He stood before a vast expanse, too far for him to jump across. There was a ladder on the other side, but you had to jump into the pit. Yuki went to jump in,

then he noticed the vases on the floor. There was no missing them ,a nd they looked fragile enough to shatter on contact, especially from that height.

6 minutes.

Yuki gritted his teeth and leaped into the pit, landing on the smooth porcelain and feeling it jam through his skin with every crack he heard. Yuki tried to sit, up,

and screamed. The nerve in his elbow, was pierced with a piece of a vase, causing indescribable pain. He wrenched it out with a cry and slowly made his way

over to the ladder. More vases broke under his weight, embedding shards into his hands and feet. When he finally reached the ladder, he could barely hold

onto the rungs, but slowly made his way up to the top.

3.5 minutes were left when he got to the top.

He ran as fast as he could toward the door, and burst through it. "I'm out," he said panting. But he wasn't out. He was in a maze of mirrors, he realized. He ran

as fast as he could leaving a trail of blood. He ran in circles for what seeme like forever, and when he finally reached the exit, he looked at the timer and his

heart sped up.

1 minute 20 seconds were left.

That's when he spotted Tohru. She was unconcious. If he didn't rescue her, she would be trapped here forever with him. But If he did rescue her, he wouldn't

make it. It was too far to the door carrying someone. Yuki sat by her for a moment. He knew it would fail, but he picked her up and ran.

30 seconds.

At the speed he was going, he was more like 50 seconds from the door. He tried to speed up.

15 seconds. Tears streaked Yuki's face as he dropped Tohru roughly on the ground and sprinted for the door. "She would have wanted me to live!" he cried,

diving through the door as it slammed shut. Yuki sat by the door, crying and pulling out shards of glass and mousetraps. The puppet from the TV in the trap

came wheeling in on a tricycle. "Congratulations Yuki. You have escaped your cage. Some people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you. Not anymore.

Yuki paused. Jigsaw was right. He really had learned from this experience. He opened another door, which led outside. A map was posted for his convenience,

telling him how to get home. Written at the bottom was 'PS: The Tohru in the cage was a manikin.'
