Ceilings rattling, crumbling and falling, droplets of water running down his face, making his hair cling to his cold skin. It was as if the world was falling, and Nao was so deep in it he couldn't tell left from right.

"Nao! Hurry!"

Hearing the desperate yell from his partner, Nao broke out of his trance, to run like his life depended on it. (Which It did.) But too, too soon his muscles weaken. His legs give out. But he had to get out…! He has to escape, before the building in time, his partner grabs him, and runs with him at his fastest speed, down the hall, almost to the light… Almost…

Bits of the ceiling start to crumble and fall in front of them, just as Sora trips. We both tumble to the floor. He suddenly feels blinding, blistering pain. Nao screams at the top of his lungs.

My partner, hearing my scream, is alerted to my leg.

"Nao!"

My leg is trapped, dangerously close to being crushed. I can't move. If the rock tips over, my leg will be a goner. He looks towards me, then looks to the end of the tunnel, where he can still escape. Then, as if in a trance, he turns away.

"Sora! Sora!... Fuck!"

Sora has already ran far, far away, as parts of the ceiling crumble. The light fades. The rocks cover Nao's only exit. So this is it. Betrayed by my best friend, and left to die.

Right now, I'd prefer the zombies.
