Thank you for replying. It means a lot to me. I’m glad to have someone with me on this.

  I have taken your suggestion, and stayed in the room to wait it out. Indeed, never run toward the noise. Nothing good could come out of it.

  About horror movies, I have watched a lot of those. At least I think I did. My memories are fuzzy. I can recall running and crawling through a lot of dark and narrow places. Someone is always chasing after me. Were those scenes from the movies I've seen in the past?

  I hope I am not in one of those horror film settings. But given my strange situation, I wouldn't be surprised. I must prepare for the worst. For some reason, I feel like I'm quite used to unexpected things.

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  The noise had started up again, coming from the other end of the corridor.

  It sounded very human to me. That is both a relief and something to worry about.

  Whoever it is sounded like they are in pain. Maybe I should go see what is going on?

  If the person is in need of any help, I need to do my best and whatever I can.

  But, I still know nothing about my situation. Maybe it is wiser to wait some more, and see if things take a turn for the better. Or the worse.

  What is your decision?
