Enter the lab.

As you enter through the gigantic sliding doors, you are immediately greeted by a balding scientist carrying a disintegrating chemical.

“Welcome, my friend.” He murmurs mysteriously. “You’re here to test out the new machine, yes? Follow me.” Before you can say something, the scientist turns around and begins to walk away briskly. You follow. As you and the scientist walk through the halls, he says, “You were sent by my good friend, Thomas, weren’t you? Oh, yes, you were.” You are confused. Can he read my mind, you think. “That is for me to know and for you to find out.” he says. You shoot him a puzzled look as you walk on ahead. You finally reach the largest door. “Here we are.” the scientist announces. He takes a key card from around his neck and slides it through a slot in the door. Slowly, it opens to reveal a complex machine with a large chamber, with guards surrounding it. “Stand aside, stand aside!” the scientist hollers to the guards, who quickly scurry to either side of the room. He slides his key card again, this time through a slot on the machine, which causes it to open. He reaches out his hand in an inviting gesture. “You can go in now,” he says. “Or, you can always go back.” The faintest grin appears on his face.

Do you…

Step inside?

Or run for your life?
