I'M SORRY IF IT SUCKS
The curtain rises on an empty room, lit only by a single candle nearly completely burned. A deep symphony of sounds plays. The candle wick burns out. A red light turns on seemingly from nowhere. A tall figure stands in the middle.
TALL FIGURE: Welcome to the underworld, mortals. Get ready to be tempted.
The light vanishes to a fiery wasteland with a 19-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man sitting in the middle tied up. The tall shadow figure returns. It takes the rope off of the man and woman. It vanishes but its voice remains.
TALL FIGURE: YOU HAVE BEEN CURSED BY THE DECEASED. THIS IS YOUR PUNISHMENT. OTHER FOOLISH MORTALS ARE HERE AS WELL. IF YOU GIVE IN TO YOUR TEMPTATIONS YOU WILL SUFFER A PUBLIC AGONIZINGLY PAINFUL DEATH. DON'T DIE.
THE WOMAN: Oh my god. Oh my god! *Starts screaming and crying hysterically* No no no no! Suzy! SUZY! I LOVE YOU, BABY! *starts sobbing uncontrollably*
THE MAN: CAN YOU JUST SHUT UP?! We are somewhere with no means of escape and you keep crying. Just shut up!
THE WOMAN: *screams hysterically* I-I can't! I left my baby! My baby Suzy! *she crumples on the ground silent*
THE MAN: Okay I'm sorry. *he pats her back gently* It's gonna be okay.
THE MAN looks around for any means of help. The ground is a soft, murky maroon. In the distance, he sees another group of people. Two women hugging each other and crying. THE MAN pulls up THE WOMAN and notices his arm. It has his name and age and other important facts about himself. He grabs THE WOMAN'S arm and reads it. "Amy age 19..." He pulls her up over his shoulder and carries her toward the other groups of people.
