Chapter 8: The Desperate Escape

You press the button for the top floor, but the elevator remains still. The whispers grow louder, their sinister tones clawing at your mind. A chill brushes the back of your neck, as though something unseen is standing just behind you.

Suddenly, the doors slide open. Standing there is the hooded figure from the basement, its glowing eyes fixed on you. "There's no escape," it murmurs, the words dripping with finality.

Before you can react, the shadows in the elevator surge forward, wrapping around you like icy tendrils. They pull you into the consuming darkness, and your strength ebbs as your consciousness begins to fade. The last sound you hear is the low groan of the elevator descending, spiraling ever deeper into the abyss.

The End.
