Something keeps dripping over and over…
Steven opens his eyes and sees utter darkness. He looks around in a confused manner. He is sitting in a metal chair. He starts tearing at his hands, which are bound with duct tape. SNAP! The duct tape breaks and his hands are free. He leans over and rips the duct tape off from his feet.
He stands up with his arms extended outward feeling for a familiar surface. Suddenly his hands touch a cold wall. He moves his hand up and down it and finds a light switch. He flips it on.
The entire room is illuminated with white light, which nearly blinds Steven. He squints and tries to recognize any of his surroundings. His vision clears up and he sees two doors on both sides of him. A TV across the room suddenly turns on and a puppet is seen.
"Jigsaw!" Steven stares at the TV in disbelief.
The doll turns his head and looks directly at Steven.
"Hello Steven, you spend everyday of your life putting criminals back on the street, all for the joys of money. Now its time for you to decide which is more important, money or your life. There are two doors to left and right of you. One of the doors is lined with all the money from your savings account. The other door is your only way out. The key is simply in the box across the room. If you use the key in the door with no money lining it then you can escape but all your money will burn up. If you decide to open the second door then both doors will be locked forever and the money will be placed back in your savings account. I'll make sure of that. Know how your hollow headed clients feel when you completely take advantage of them while they're in a desperate situation. Remember that time will not be on your side once you attain the key. Live with no money or die for your family...make your choice!"
The TV turns off and Steven just stares in disbelief. He can't believe what is happening.
"I don't deserve this! Those people were scum and I gave them a second chance! Do you hear me! I helped them out!"
Silence.
Steven walks up to the box, which the man on tape clearly described. He reached out for it but his hand flew back. He stared at the box knowing something would happen if he opened it.
"Fuck this!"
He violently opens the box and as he does so something starts ticking. He looks at what's inside. A key, like Jigsaw promised, a watch which is counting down from one minute and a note. He picks up the note. The note reads "Tick Tock!"
