Chapter Four: No Way Out.
Serena walked through a wooden corridor. There were paintings of buildings and of people framed
on the moss covered walls. There was a smell of gunpowder in the air. Serena was exhausted. She
had been walking through corridors with mirrors, heads of animals or flowers hanging from the
walls. She wanted to get out. She wanted to feel the sun's rays warm her soft skin and the wind
blow through long blond hair. Was there a way out of this maze? Was there a way in?
She finally came to the end of the corridor. She saw a door. She ran to it. "I've finally found the
exit!!" she said to herself and wondered how she generated the power to put one foot in front of the
other. The door was made of the same wood as the walls. Thick green moss formed the words No
Way Out.
Serena grabbed the handle. It was rather hot. Strange, she thought. She opened the door and was
in a small room. The room didn't have any windows. There was a single naked light bulb that hung
from the ceiling. It shone it's cold light upon a little white bunny that was sitting directly under it. In
front of the little bunny was a man holding a gun and looking terrified at the bunny. Serena stepped
into the room and closed the door behind her. She walked closer to the man and noticed he was
sweating. He didn't seem to notice the girl. The tall and skinny man had green, hairy skin. His
clothes were torn and dirty and he had no shoes. Serena caught a glimpse of a few six-legged
insects crawling through his hair.
"Excuse me" Serena said, trying to get the mans attention. The man jumped up and screamed. He
looked at Serena and said "Help me. Help me find my bullet or we are both dead." He looked back
at the bunny. He had spoken very softly as if not wanting to make the bunny angry.
"Your bullet?? What do you mean." The man looked back to her. His eyes were blood red as if he
had been crying. "I can't find the bullet for this gun. I can't let this bunny out of my sight. It want's to
kill me. It's waiting for me to go back to sleep, so it can chew my eyes out. Help me!!."
"Why don't you just run away?" Serena asked.
"Run away? How should I get out of this room?" The mans eyes were scanning the floor of the
room for his bullet. Serena looked at the man as if he taken leave of his senses. "Why don't you just
go through the door?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?! Don't you think I would have used the door if this room had one?"
"Huh??" Serena looked behind her to a door that was not there. There was just a wall, no door.
"But... that's impossible..." Serena walked to the wall to check if there really was no door. Feeling
the moist wall. Disturbing the sea of moss that had grown there. As she examined the wall she felt
herself stepping over something small and hard. She looked down and saw the bullet. Through
Serena's weight it had sunken a little into the floor. She picked the bullet up and asked "Is this
yours?"
"My bullet!! You've found my bullet!! We're saved!! yeah!!!"
"Your not going to shoot that bunny, are you?"
"Of course I will!! I don't want to die."
"I'm sorry, I can't let you do that." The man glared at the girl, hesitated then run towards her. He
knocked her off her feel and pried the bullet from her hands. He ran back to face the bunny,
inserted the bullet into the side of the weapon and with one motion send the bullet sliding into the
chamber. He trained the gun on the bunny's head. He was sweating even more now. He tightened
his grip and thought: I've won. Soon I'll be rid of you.
"No!!!!" Serena jumped to her feet and stopped beside the bunny. She put one hand out and
petted the animal "See?, you don't have to be afraid of this bunny. Look, it's so soft and cute. It
would never hurt you. Put the gun down. I'm sure you two could become friends." The man was
shocked. The bunny didn't attack her. It just sat there. He thought: How could this be? Was I
wrong about the bunny? Could we become friends? Can I finally sleep without fear?
He let his hand holding the gun fall to his side but did not part with it's grip. He knelt down and
touched the bunny. "Aw, it's so warm and soft. Why was I afraid of this little thing. I was a fool."
"Good, now that that's settled, we have to find a way out of here." Serena said. The man looked at
her as if she had parted with her senses. "Why don't you just go through the door?" Serena turned
back and sure enough there was the door, mighty and firm, as if it had always been there.
"Oh, right, the door, are you coming with me?" Serena asked the man. "No, I want to stay here
with my new friend."
Serena left the room and just as she closed the door she heard a scream.
"No, no, no, please . Stay away from me. Please don't come closer I thought we were friends.
PLEASE!! AAAAHHHHA!!!!!!"
Serena turned around. She tried opening the door but it was locked. Then she heard the shot.
BOOOOM!!!!
The sound of the shot made her teeth rattle. She tried opening the door again, this time it was
unlocked.
She burst into the room half expecting to see the mutilated bunny. The bunny was fine. It was still
sitting under the naked light bulb. Then she saw the man. He was sitting against the wall. His hand
stuck out in front of him as if trying to keep something at a distance. Serena could still see the
terror in his eyes. The blood that was oozing out of his head made his old clothes stick to his filthy
body. He still held onto the gun. Smoke was rising out of the barrel as if imitating the departure of
his soul.. He had shot himself. "Why did he use the only bullet he had, to kill himself? Why didn't
he shoot the monster that was approaching him?" Serena asked herself quietly. The blood that was
flowing out of the dead mans body formed a pool in front of the bunny.
It bent down and started drinking the blood, taking little gulps at a time. The bunny quenched it's
thirst and looked at Serena. Blood dripping like little diamonds from it's mouth. Serena run out of
the room. She ran down the corridor to the other end. There, waited another door. This time there
was something else written in moss.
It said: He was a Victim, aren't we all?
