Revenge After Death

Benjamin pivoted his wheelchair to face me directly. "I remember vividly the time I confided in you about my plan for revenge. You told me that as a human being, leaving a way out for others is also leaving a way out for yourself.

"It made me think of the time I was pushed off the roller coaster and how I had hoped someone would come and save me."

But no one could save him. What awaited him was only fear, pain, and... a lifetime of disability.

"On a selfish note, why should I leave a way out for these people? Did they ever leave one for me in the first place?" Benjamin smirked, a strange smile on his face.

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine. I wanted to leave here to warn them. That was not the way to the 14th floor! It was Benjamin's final trap!

The door to the control room suddenly closed, trapping me inside.

My heart was beating a little faster, and I glared at Benjamin. "Let them out!"

Benjamin laughed gleefully. "Haha... Stephie, you can't save them."

I gazed at the surveillance monitor in panic. Once Steven and the others descended the stairs, the exit would close automatically, leaving them all trapped in that confined space.

"What are you going to do to them?" I felt like I was suffocating, like there was a weight pressing down on my chest. I seemed to lose control at that moment.
