Oh no! Run!
“Is his heart still beating?”
I seriously feel like I’m constantly playing this game of Clocktower. Thing is, instead of a scary midget with hedge-clippers.. I get to deal with Jamie. Picture it though, like.. wandering room to room and kind of getting a feel for the house and then you open one door and see him. ACK! Is he scary? No, not on outward appearances or initial meetings.. but it’s the kind of feeling I get. Where my heart leaps into my throat and I back up, scrambling to slam the door and leave him in that room. However, he always finds his way out and even though I’m running down the hallways and tearing around the corners, he somehow finds a way to sneak up on me.
I get downstairs, yes.. the “figurative” stairs and I find Alan. He’s like.. “Here’s a flashlight and some holy water. It’ll be okay.” and he gives me a map. The map details out how to avoid the Brit, since I’ve demanded a map now. Before, I wanted to take the Brit head-on and maybe even try to befriend him.. but like most creatures of his nature, they cannot be befriended. This time, Alan and Christy just kind of detail places to avoid and even signal me on the radio whenever I start to feel my resistence waning.
Yeah, my past love-life is kind of like a survival horror game. Thing is, I can’t press pause.. and I can’t save. What do I wish would happen? One of those cool scenarios where I’d somehow find the enemy, I could convince him to come to my side and he, Alan and Christy would protect me from future onslaughts from anything else that might stalk my hallways. Perfect world, right?
Time to go restock up on my holy water and find a locker to hide in until the next rush is over. Guys, let me know when the suspenseful music goes away, alright?
