Short Story - Where Am I?

 

             I am sitting on the floor and leaning on what seems to be a wall. I put my hands on my face and my head starts to hurt. I feel what seems like dried up blood on my forehead. That must explain why I was passed out. I put my hands in front of me and I feel a zipper attached to something- a backpack? I unzip the backpack and the first thing I feel is a long metal object. It is a little heavy and it has a rubber circle in the middle. I push the circle and there is light. It is a flash light! I look around and all I see is a red door. I open it and go inside. I look around me and I just see a narrow walkway in front of me. "Hello?" I scream. All I hear back is my echo. I look in the backpack again and I find a map. I open it up and It looks like a maze. Where am I?.
             I stand up and I feel a throbbing pain going straight to my right ankle. It hurts to stand on it so I just try to drag it. I walk straight trying to find out where I am. After walking for what feels like a really long time, I decide to take another look at the map. I pull it out and start to try to figure a way out. I notice random words in different areas of the map. HUNGER, BURN, DROWN and DEATH. I also notice a red dot in the beginning of the map. I do not know what it means and I still cannot figure out where I am. I decide to keep walking until I see something that might help. As I drag my foot and try to walk faster, I try to ignore the suffocating smell of blood. I do not know where it is coming from. I look around and I notice that the walls are a black. I take a closer look, it looks more like a rich red color. I touch the walls; they feel wet and cold. I look and I see blood everywhere. .
             I have to stop as I hear a really loud screeching noise and a wall appears in front of me. In big letters, I read HUNGER written on that wall. I look to my left and the wall that was there is now gone. I pull the map out, it looks different. It has changed.
