Guess who?
THE DEAD GAME — BEHIND DOOR NUMBER 3
Down the stairs, we go,
Down to the dark basement
Of End House.
What happened here 5 years ago?
A freak storm is what had happened.
The innocent family living here
Had disappeared into the raging waves
Of the Atlantic Ocean.
Now we are locked in its basement.
We’ve already made it through
Swinging traps and circular saws.
No way for us but forward.
Three closed doors are standing before us.
The horrors behind the first two doors
Had almost killed us.
Door number 3 is waiting.
We walk in.
It’s dark.
Cages on the walls hold wild animals
Behind the metal bars.
Mike walks in first.
His eyes roam the room,
Searching for a possible escape
From this hell hole.
He turns around.
The animals are suddenly free
And are moving closer.
He could feel his heart beating faster.
The animals are breathing down his neck,
Getting ready to pounce.
David calls out that
He’s found a door.
We are running down the stairs to the beach.
Flying creatures are swiping at us,
Trying to throw us into the ocean.
We stare down at the sharp rocks…
Their journey has only just begun.

It welcomes.
It creaks.
It sighs.
Its door opens.
Candlelight streams out.
We peek inside.
Grim faces stare back.
Gargoyles stand sentinel
along the curving staircase.
The wind brushes our skin
with its unseen fingers.
Candles light the way
down the right hall.
Shadows move and sway
with the flickering candles.
The door locks behind us.
We’re in for the ride.
End House has spoken.

Linda slides into its grasp.
A tunnel envelopes her.
Hands reach out for her.
Her cries fill the dark void.
“Will I reach the bottom?
Is there even a bottom?”
Her jumbled thoughts swirl around.
She hears a voice yell out,
“Stop!”
The tunnel dissolves.
The stairs return.
Todd waits on the top step.
Linda runs down the staircase
And makes it to the front door.
But the door knob won’t budge.
“Open!”
The door opens
At Todd’s command.
The house pushes Linda
and her friends out the door.
It slams shut behind them.
Afraid to face a new and more powerful Todd,
Linda scrambles to her feet
and races away from End House.
THE DEAD GAME
The Dead can appear in disguise
As people like you and me.
They can change forms to hide
Like a raindrop falling from the sky.

Should we visit End House?
The beautiful house had almost been
destroyed in the last storm.
Pieces of its roof and shutters had
blown off in the winds.
The last family had disappeared.
Why did we receive an invitation
for a party at the deserted house?
Let’s go and find out.
THE DEAD GAME
Come and join THE DEAD.
They are eager for new followers.
Who will be their next victim?
Who will wash up on shore?
Find out in THE DEAD GAME.
THE DEAD are watching.
They watch from windows and doors.
Once the sun goes down,
they roam the town.
Be smart;
stay indoors.
THE DEAD love the night.
The wolves howl in warning.
Birds flee in fear from trees.
The Dead come at night
to claim their victims.
Unless they are stopped.
Who is strong enough to stop them?
Find out in THE DEAD GAME.
The ground rumbles.
The gravestones shake.
The door to the mausoleum creaks open.
The leaves rustle in the wind.
The dirt parts.
A hand reaches from a grave.
Bodies rise up from the earth.
The Dead are ready to play.

Midnight is approaching.
The witching hour in Oasis, Florida.
End House holds secrets.
Secrets of The Dead and gone.
Deadly traps.
Vengeful spirits.
Join us if you dare.

Into the tunnel we are thrown.
Been more careful if I had known.
We’re falling down a dark abyss.
Please someone give us an assist.
We’re falling too hard and fast.
This nightmare better not last.
Our time has come to an end
As we fly around the bend.
The Dead are waiting for us below.
I can hear them yelling out hello.
We land with a thump and a bang.
I’m now facing a big fat fang.
THE DEAD GAME
What has happened to our paradise?
Now I could surely use some advice.
Our town is bombarded with creatures.
In the dark we can’t see their features.
They come out in the dark of night.
Hiding their faces from the light.
The winds are picking up speed.
They devour our town with greed.
We must run and hide in the church.
Before we are left in the lurch.
Someone save us before it’s too late.
From creatures filled with evil and hate.

Down the rabbit hole we go.
Far down beneath the earth’s surface.
Where The Dead wait for their savior.
Arms extended.
Reaching for us.
Mouths held open in silent cries.
As we fall farther.
Deeper.
Past the point of no return.

Let’s travel through the forest so green.
A creature-filled oasis but don’t scream.
The roots tangle around our feet.
Walking becomes a scary feat.
Neon leaves hit our faces.
A hit every few paces.
I’m sinking deep into the forest floor.
Quicksand my enemy forever more.
