THE DEAD GAME DAY 51

THE DEAD GAME   DAY 51

     Mike opened the last door to find a huge circular chamber with metal bars built into the red brick walls. He entered the room, searching for more than bricks and bars.

     Growling sounds were emanating from within the walls. He edged closer to the bars and was horrified to find wild lions and tigers behind these bars, pacing back and forth in their cages. Their yellow eyes glowed in the dimly lit room.

     “There must be a light somewhere in this room that is reflecting on the animals’ eyes. Let’s look for the source of this light; there must be an opening!” Mike urged Louise and David, who were standing behind him.

     After a few moments of frantic searching, David called out, “The light is coming from the left side of the room! Look! Over there! There’s a door!” He ran over to the door and searched the bricks for any type of handle.

THE DEAD GAME--DAY 50

     She said, “I’ll go.” She didn’t know where she got her courage from, but she was tired of being controlled by the freak who owned this house.

     She climbed the tower’s brick wall, using her hands and feet to push her body up the wall, brick by sharp brick. The farther up she climbed…the farther away the top of the tower seemed to be. She knew that this couldn’t be possible unless someone was playing tricks with their minds again—like with the water that had appeared.

     She was almost at the top when she heard a booming sound coming from above. The gate that had been lying across the top was now crashing down to one side—the side she was hanging on to. While she held on tight, she closed her eyes and prayed. The gate bashed against her, but she still managed to keep her footing. She climbed back down before she got swatted like an ant against the wall.

     “This must have been the master plan all along; that we all die in this house—one by one,” she yelled at Mike and David, who were both standing in the doorway with their mouths hanging open. Mike’s response was simply to turn around and stomp away. She was disgusted by this whole business and by Mike’s total lack of sympathy. He didn’t seem to be at all concerned that she’d almost been killed. She knew he wasn’t a real friend and couldn’t be relied upon in the future.

THE DEAD GAME — DAY 49

     Mike spoke up in his irritated tone of voice. “Let’s just quickly pick a door and see what’s behind it.” He strode over to the middle door and pulled it open.

     He was about to take a step into the room when he realized—just before it was too late—that the room didn’t have a floor, but only a long drop into nothingness. He jumped back. “This is it for me; from now on I’m going to take a back seat in this awful game being played on us.”

     Mike was useless anyway. He was only good at sarcasm or correcting David. Louise also believed that the sooner they escaped this horror show, the better; which led her to check out the next door.

     “Let’s try the door to the right,” offered Louise. She watched Mike and David for their response. Neither of them spoke nor moved, so she opened the door herself and looked inside. The room opened to a high, narrow tower with a gated opening across the top.

     “Who wants to climb the tower and open the gate at the top?” asked Louise. Mike and David looked too terrified to move. They both stood still.

THE DEAD GAME -- DAY 48

     David began pushing them both forward. “Hurry and cross through the water to the other side! Be very careful of the sharp saws!”

     Louise looked up and noticed that the cages and saws were once again hanging above the water. They had to dodge the same treacherous cages and swinging saws that had just tormented Edward and Tom and had almost cost Tom’s life—that is, if they were both still alive somewhere.

     Finally, they reached the steep steps on the opposite side. In front of them stood a solid wall, extending all the way up to the endlessly high ceiling. Built into this wall were three closed doors—not the metal door that Edward and Tom had passed through—but tall wooden doors reaching high up into the darkness above. There was no other way out. hey had to step through one of these doorways. The other alternative was too ghastly to even consider; no way were they going back through the sharp saws and cages that hung suspended over the dark pool of water.

     David cautioned, “Be very careful. Don’t believe everything that you see: we don’t know what is real and what isn’t.”

    “I don’t know if I can continue with this charade any longer. This house is pure evil and intends to destroy us all,” lamented Louise.

     David whispered to her, “Don’t worry, just stay focused. We’ll find a way out of this hellhole.”

THE DEAD GAME

THE DEAD GAME by Susanne Leist

5.0 out of 5 stars Not usually my kind of book....but, my wife was right...again., September 19, 2013

Morley Dotes "morleydotes" (Flushing, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   

This review is  from: The Dead Game (Paperback)

I'm not usually a mystery lover. I have a very select group of authors that I enjoy and I eagerly await their next publication. I am also not looking for a new genre/author. With that said, I am glad to finally add another author to my "watch list." My wife was reading this book and just couldn't put it down. She said, "You should read this, I think you will love it." I have learned that she is usually right, and she knows my tastes very well....so....I started reading. I quickly fell into the book. The decriptions where great and really put me into the book. The Dead Game is also very suspenseful. There are so many twists, that you will certainly stay on your toes. I especially loved Mike's sarcasm, being a New Yorker, we live in sarcasm, so I really enjoyed it. If you are looking for a great supernatural thriller, that offers some humor, sarcasm and even some romance, this is the book for you!

THE DEAD GAME -- DAY 47

     Edward dove into the water and reached him right before the last saw could finish its final rotation—which would have passed through Tom’s skinny, exposed neck. Edward grabbed Tom by the arm and pulled him to safety, past the sharp, swirling blades of the metal saws.

     From out of nowhere, wide stone steps emerged on the far wall. Edward ran up the stairs, with Tom climbing up behind him. A huge metal door in the solid wall opened before them. Neither of them hesitated, but ran straight through the open doorway. The door slammed shut behind them and blended back into the concrete wall.

     Louise couldn’t figure out where Tom and Edward had gone. The door was gone and so were Tom and Edward. Were they trapped somewhere? Or were they free outside the house? Would they be coming back?
