Aiden was startled awake as he gasped for air
The seatbelt dug into his chest as he stumbled forward.
"Fuck."
"Where am I?. Oh yeah, I'm on the plane heading to Canada..."
He checked his surroundings.
"But why are there bodies in the ground?!"
Around him were many rotten bodies covered with flies and dry blood, some still on their seats, but every single one of them showed a sign of life. The air reeked of decay and scorched metal.
"What the hell…"
He almost puked looking at the corpses that were lively passengers just before everything went black…
"Just how much has gone by for the bodies to start rotting like this…?"
Splintered wood was everywhere, piercing the plane with its sharp tip.
The plane was split into two large parts.
"What happened over here…"
Food carts were upside down, pieces of glass all over the floor, shattered trays. But something sparkled under a worn-out cabinet.
Crouching, he found an emergency fire axe, alongside a fire extinguisher.
He stared at them both.
And then took the fire axe with his hand.
"Better than nothing."
The extinguisher didn't even cross his mind, he had no use for it, it's not like there is a fire around here.
He decided to go check the cockpit, pushing past ripped luggages and corpses, he gasped at the scene before him.
"Good grief…"
They were dead, both their lower bodies crushed, their eyes were open but lifeless, dried blood soaked the floor.
Then something clicked in his brain, he was the sole survivor of this incident, was it a crash or something else? Will I ever know or will I never know?
He made his way out of the plane, a huge forest lay before him, it gave off a creepy feeling, like something ominous lurked inside.
It was already midnight, the moon had risen, but it looked too big.
"I don't think this is the moon I know."
Suddenly. Echoes of a scream sounded, unnatural ones.
"Oh, is this where I'm supposed to run?"
Aiden's adrenaline took over, his legs moved before his brain could comprehend.
He ran without knowing what he was running from.
Branches snapped, his face was cut by sharp vines, he heard footsteps behind him, inhuman footsteps, ones that are surely quicker than him.
Aiden glanced back. Twisted antlers and glowing eyes, over 3 times taller than him, it looked like a demon and a deer had a child.
"OH HELL NO!"
He ran with all what he got, nearly tripping over branches, his breathing was unstable, the footsteps behind him only grew louder and closer, he could feel the monster creeping up on him.
Suddenly Aiden noticed smoke, and that could mean only one thing.
"Fire"
He looked back, the monster was only feet away from reaching him, but was strangely slowing down.
After a long chase, Aiden finally reached the source of the smoke.
"A campfire"
And there were people.
"I Guess I found where the other passengers are."
But only a few of them remained, as well as that loud karen and the pilots.
"Wait, the pilots, weren't they dead a minute ago?"
They sat on a log, staring at a worn-out pot, placed on a fire.
Aiden wasn't able to comprehend, they were corpses only minutes ago.
DING
His phone interrupted him with a buzz.
The battery is dying. Only one percent remains.
"Ugh why now?"
Then, he remembered, he brought a power bank in case of emergencies.
It looks like it will serve its purpose today.
Suddenly, the screen turned gray.
It launched the "1000 game app" by itself.
And a large title covered the screen.
[✓] Finishing Game #1: "Run and Don't Look Back."[▶] The second game, "Investigator," began.
With his heart pounding, Aiden gazed at the screen.
"What do you mean a game?"
Still, the game had begun.
