Amputate Fingers: 2

Open Bear Trap: 5

I stuck the blade back into the trap, but hesitated. I looked back down the hallway to make sure I had enough time. That creature was five feet away from me. It was growling in a way that sounded like someone choking on their own blood. And I have never heard that before, but I could only describe it as that.

I pulled the blade back out and put it between me and the reptile. I almost pissed myself when I heard the growl, but I might as well have shit myself when it stood on its hind legs. It was a good two feet taller than Chloe, and she is hella tall. I swung at it to try and make it go away, but, like a bear, swatted the machete out of my hand. With its other paw, it hit my trapped hand. It must've assumed I was holding the bear trap. Then I fell to the floor.

I couldn't feel my fingers. I looked at my hand and the trapped fingers are in the trap, but not attached to my hand. That thing chopped my fingers off! I screamed while holding my bleeding hand, slowly standing up. I opened my eyes, and I looked around frantically for something. I saw an old first aid kit. I ran to it when I saw that thing was distracted on my fingers in the trap. I wrapped up my hand in bandages, grabbed the machete, and ran for it. That thing wouldn't be preoccupied for long.

I saw a door, and I tried to open it, but it was locked. It was a door into the chapel. "Fuck, fucking shit! Now I gotta find a fucking keycard!?" I went and got my lantern back, and slowly crept away from the creature that was gnawing on my fingers. "Eeeny, meeny, minie, mo. Catch a tiger, by the toe. If he hollers, let him go. I don't know what the fuck to go."

I went back in the direction of the chapel door, and saw what looked to be something out of a concentration camp. A bunch of ovens used to cremate people. I crept over and opened an oven, only to see a name tag. This dude was nothing must ashes, but apparently he was attacked by his inmate, with fatal lacerations to the throat. This mother fucker got his throat ripped open. Did I walk into the origin of the Russian Sleep Experiment?

I opened another oven, and this one was never turned on. It was just a rotten body, with barely any hair and was stripped to the bone from the inside. "Oh, fucking sick! This is fucking sick!" I almost puked when a rat climbed out of its mouth. I looked at its clothes, and saw a card in the chest pocket. I took it out, and it was the keycard to the chapel.

I had what I needed, but I opened one more oven just to make sure I wasn't missing anything. As the first one was, this was just ashes and a sheet of paper. It was a death certificate for someone named Sarah Smith. She had severe lacerations to the abdomen, and parts of her kidneys and intestines were eaten. Now I'm convinced this is indeed the Russian Sleep Experiment.

I looked at the trap, and saw that the creature was gone. My heart raced, and I wanted to get the hell out of here. I put the keycard into the door, and it opened up to a dark hallway, which eventually led to a set of stairs. I hurried up the steps, praying to God that the creature wasn't stalking me. Then at some point, I heard a loud roar come from behind me, followed by a crash. I turned around to see the creature had broken through some debris. I ran up those stairs like hell.

I was doing two steps at once at a huge pace, but I could tell that thing was doing three. I just kept climbing and climbing, hearing those claws hit the steps every second. I got to the top and ran down the hall, not caring where I was actually going. I turned a couple of sharp corridors, hearing that thing close behind me. I came up to a door, opened it, and shut it in its face. I was atop a balcony, and there was a window, and I looked through it to see the chapel, and the murderous freak leaving on the other side of the church.

"Ain't this a quaint little psycho crib. Might as well be featured on MTV's Cribs. God, why do I watch that?" I said as I turned around, and started to go down some stairs that led off the balcony. But the stairs were a bit broken, so I jumped down, only to realize I had done a huge fucking loop de loop. "Back here again." I ran over to the chapel door, and inserted the keycard into the slot. I opened the door, took the keycard, and took a step back. The creature jumped at me, swinging its claws like a bear.
