Ch.1

There I was, trapped in the abandoned theater where it was about 12, at midnight. My flashlight was dying and so it gave off a faint glow. As I carefully trotted inside, I noticed the clock was idle at five minutes past twelve. I waited for a minute before realizing that it was stuck on that that time. I had forgotten my watch; therefore, I had no sense of time.
I warily made my way to the inner theater from the balcony level. As I entered, I discovered that I had to be aware with my footing, since the floorboards didn't seem impervious to my weight. As I turned toward the door from which I entered, I noticed a burnt out electric EXIT sign, broken and hanging crooked and upside down.
"Some horror scene this is... Yeah, whatever," I thought to myself.
I turned my attention toward the curtains that would have covered the stage. Cobwebs were ensnared all over. It looked as if something inhabited this place...
Suddenly, I heard some kind of scrapping against the wood. I looked around cautiously around my surroundings. Then, I slowly looked upward.
That was when I saw the colossal beast, a 200 foot tall spider that lurked in the shadows just above.

Ch. 2

It just stayed there, looming over me with those huge, menacing, dark green eyes, piercing through my body as I stood there, paralyzed. By the looks of it, this eight-legged creature didn't seem much of the benevolent type. To be able to perfectly describe this monster would be too difficult, since my eyes had not adjusted to the darkness.
Then, slowly and steadily, the spider had set its gaze upon me, scrutinizing every bit of my body. Without thinking twice, I slowly lifted my flashlight toward the beast that slowly crawled above me. As I did so, my horrors were confirmed.
It was the very same creature that had terrorized the people of Liverpool only five years ago, the "La Enfant Terrible". Just to catch a glimpse of it was just magnificent, and at the same time, gave off a malevolent feeling.
Suddenly, my flashlight, my only source of light, had faded away into complete darkness. The only thing that was shining was the spider's uncanny eyes, and the exit that was 50 feet away on the balcony. The only problem was that that only exit on the balcony was about to be blocked by the colossus. So the only way to escape was to jump off the balcony...
I knew the slightest movement would give the beast an impetus to attack. I had to time it right, or my life would be cut short. Suddenly the spider had prepared to lunge at me.
"There's no going back," I thought. Then, with quick thought, I leaped off the balcony, and the beast did the same toward me. It was time to run...

Ch. 3

Falling from the balcony, I dodged the spider's attack, but it wasn't without consequences. I had landed pretty hard, injuring both of my legs and thinking I had broken at least one of them. They were both in major pain and it looked like I was going to be limping from now on. I found a piece of debris on the ground and threw it at the spider's eye to try to stun it. Literally, it bounced off while only angering the monster even more. It seemed totally invulnerable to pain.
I quickly staggered to the exit, with the animal follow close behind. My hopes were raised as I inched closer to the door, certain that I was going to make it out of this nightmare alive. But fate had a different view of it.
As I was only inches away, something had landed on my back that kept me from going backward. And it looked as if the door was moving away from me!
"What the hell..." I reluctantly turned around, and sure enough, my pursuer's web had latched onto me. How stupid I was! To think that I can outrun this hunter without considering the fact it had outsmarted me before the chase even started.
The spider, pulling me with its web, started to open its jaw. I was starting to become horrified. Will I be able to get out of this alive...? I was no inches away from the spider's teeth, its breath so foul that not even one thousand men could withstand together. Was this the end?
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out and I was ripped free from the web's grip. I quickly examined the spider, checking if it was moving at all. Dead. Soon after, I looked around to see where the origin of the gunshot was. A second later, a man in a dark, menacing cloak appeared at the theater entrance.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"You don't remember me, do you? I'm an old friend," he replied, in a somewhat intimidating voice, and slowly removed his hood that had darkened his face.

Ch. 4

Battle scars were all over his face. Scars of bullet gashes, knife wounds, and the most terrifying of all, the fake eye, decorated by a slash right through where the original eye may have been.
"Remember me, comrade?" The man had a familiar expression emitting from his face and his voice sounded similar to someone I may have known in the past. Was this stranger hostile, or an ally?
"I...don't know," I was being truthful. I couldn't remember who this man was even if he clocked me with a baseball bat, if in fact he carried that with him now...
"Pity. We were great friends. And to think you'd be glad to see me at a time like this." Somehow knowing what my next question would be, he continued, "And no, I am no enemy."
"Sorry....sir." I felt a little embarrassed. Was I supposed know him? Was he important?
"Well," clearing his throat, the man continued. "Let's clear things up first, shall we? My name is Adamska Canoski, a member of the Third Crusade, ranked as a Chief Officer first class. Do you remember me now?"
The Third Crusade, a faction of soldiers who tried to rebel against the corrupt prime minister in England....Something had happened. Something bad....and it sounded familiar.
"It does ring a bell, Adamska. But is it important?" I was a bit curious.
"Yes it is comrade. Or should I say... Lieutenant Colonel Cabal Darkburn?"
I was a bit stunned. I don't remember being a Lieutenant Colonel, nor did I remember being named Cabal. I had thought my name was Connor. "Is that my real name?" I asked.
"Man....you've really lost your memory, huh?" Adamska looked a bit frustrated.
"I'm sure you'll remember soon, comrade. Now, we should be leaving this theater soon."
"Why's that?" I asked. Suddenly, I heard a low grumbling noise... I turned and looked at the dead creature that was presumed dead only minutes ago, only to see that it was now stirring up again. "Oh my god....I thought it was dead..." Feelings of terror and adrenaline was about to rush through my body again.
"You didn't think one bullet would kill it, now did you? I used a tranquilizer," he stated. "Come now, unless you want to be tangled again."
He swiftly moved toward the exit, with me following close behind, as I was still limping from the fall off the balcony. As we left, I can hear thrashing of debris coming from inside the theater...
