"Whaaaaa- OOF!"
....
Ughh... What the hell just happened? Where even I'm I? Did I just fall into TV static? I've got so many questions...
Picking myself up, I did a survey of my surroundings. Well I can't say much really, just alot of yellow.
Yellow walls, yellow floors, yellow lights, just yellow.
I wanted to call out but my instincts stopped me. In fact my instinct was telling me to move away from where I was. Thinking that was a smart choice, I started in a random direction. Doing this calmed my nerves and whatever instinct I felt chilled a bit.
I continued onwards randomly in the hoped that I could spot something that was yellow. But much to my dismay, nada. Instead I checked my person.
I still had my backpack, I wanted to stop to check if everything was in there but the moment I stopped my nerves rang again so that's not happening I guess. Well at least I have this damned purse that brought me to this mess.
Lets see, yknow, feeling it now, this is a kinda heavy purse, what's even in this thing?
I opened it up and at first it was your typical items, a standard makeup kit, mouth and body spray, essentials, snacks. Wait, snacks? Then why does she always ask me to bring some, what the hell!?
Anyways what else we got, there's a few compartments maybe we've got something personal like a diary maybe.
!?!
I'm beg your finest pardon!? When did she get a gun?!
I pulled out the weapon and yep, a Glock 43X. Looking some more I found three more magazines, loaded. Geez Sam, I didn't know your game. For safety reasons, I decided to keep the gun in the purse. I can't it clogging my hands right now.
Setting the purse on my shoulder I kept up a walking pace as to not let my nerves act up. After ten minutes of walking though, I concluded that I was lost. Like really lost, and I can't be blamed ok? This place is a maze, everything looks the exact same to me, yellow.
*Ding*
"Huh?!"
I broke my silence when something rung directly into my ears, scaring the shit out of me. I looked around to see what it was but I didn't find anything.
Sigh... I think the yellow is getting to-
*Ding!*
Again? I wanted to claim insanity but this time though something else happened. A panel popped right up in front of me, like one straight out of a video game!

What the fuck? Am I in some kind of game world or something? This feels like something Quincy would dream of, not me, I liked my life. Can I go back please?
...
Nothing.
Well I expected that mu-!!!
Just as I was going to take another step my nerves screamed once more. Halting my movements, I did another search to see just what is wrong and looking down I think I found my answer.
On the hard glossy floor was a puddle. On first observations, the puddle looked completely ordinary but upon closer examinations, it was moving very slowly towards me. Not only that but the puddle itself wiggled in such a way that it looked as if droplets were constantly dripping onto it.
"The fuck is that?"
Observing it some more, I came to the conclusion that it must be alive. And with my senses kicking so hard, its probably not very friendly...
"RrRRraAAaaGGHHhh!!!.."
"The fuck is that?!"
I heard it before seeing it but behind me, quite a distance away, was some kind of creature of serious disproportionate form. It's top half was that of a bloated black mass while the lower half was stick thin legs. Four of them by the way and not even all touching the ground since one was sticking out the side in a weird angle. Yeah I don't need some sense skill to know I'm gone!
I hauled ass the other direction and since I don't think it saw me, I should be in the clear.
*squish*
My running came to a screeching halt as I stepped in another puddle! The puddle creature instantly grabbed ahold of my foot and bubbles began forming and popping, creating a lot of loud noises as some of those noises sounded like screeching nails on a chalk board!
"RRRRRAAAAAAA!!!"
Why now of all times would my stupid senses not tell me something this serious?!
I tried taking a step but whatever this puddle is made out of, it's sticking HARD to the floor! I thought to take off my boot but the puddles cover the shoestrings, I guess I'll fight! I quickly pulled out the glock and aimed it at the bloated monsters chest!
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
Oh c'mon! Not even a flinch?! Alright next plan! I turned the pistol to the puddle.
"This better not hit my foot!"
*Bang!**Bang!*
I fired two shots into the thought to be clear liquid. The puddle didn't die but the bullets did splatter it enough for me to pull out. I didn't even look back as I immediately booked it! My ears were enough to tell me that the monster wasn't too far behind.
Not knowing where I was going I instead focused on anything that could help me break away from the monster but all I could see was yellow. "Wait! The lights!"
I looked back, and yep, not even twenty meters away was the monster. I aimed up on the gun and fired three more rounds into the fluorescent panels above the creature.
The panels burst and lights popped as it rained down on the creature below. Sparks from the fixtures fell onto the the creature and whoosh! The thing caught fire!
"Note to self, that thing is very flammable."
It stopped and started flailing trying to put out the fire, leaving me time to skedaddle!
"RRRAAAAAAAaaaaaaggghhhh"
I kept running, not bothering to check and see if I killed the thing. Just as exhaustion began to hit, I spotted something different, something not yellow. To my right was a small room with no door and what looked to be a office desk.
"I mean, I have to go check it right? It's the only non yellow normal thing around here."
Cautiously, I made my way over to the room. My senses haven't warned me yet but they have lied before soo...
Entering and yes in fact the thing I saw was a office desk, there was even a chair moved in the corner. On the desk was a computer, keyboard, all that normal jazz, what wasn't normal though was the few plastic pre-sealed bread, cans of soup, and glass bottled lemonade.
Wait! Lemonade? fuck yeah!
Without even thinking about, I popped open a glass of lemonade and huffed it. I love lemonade man, it's so freaking good!~ As I drank it, it felt as though all the previous exhaustion I had disappeared. Ah, I think maybe I was supposed to save those. Oh well!~
Focusing back on my surroundings, I noticed the computer was in fact on but asleep, even though it wasn't plugged into anything. I pulled the chair over and sat down to tap the space button. Once on, the first thing it needed was a password, of course... Where can I find a password? It was then that I spotted a notebook behind the computer. A pretty girthy one too, it looked as though someone broke down and glued multiple smaller notebooks together to make this. Well none of that matters to me right now, hopefully its got a password or something useful in here.
"Lets see here. 'Diary of Zachery Hilton, one of the greatest breachers unknown to humankind!' How presumptive."
I flipped to the first page.
<"Well well well, look who opened my book, a stranger. If you are reading this, that means you are a stranger to me because I REFUSE to let anyone see what I've written down in my diary/notebook. It also probably means that I died since I have a skill that stops other from touching my stuff. Well since I'm dead I may as well let you have this, I sure a heck don't need it lol.">
Ok, this isn't a password but I think this can shed at least a little light on my current predicament.
...What...
