It's Show Time

Chapter ONE

Jesse was 20 when it happened. He was at a party with his friends and a few people he didn't know. Of course, he was drinking like the rest of them. He had only had one shot and started to feel tipsy. This wasn't the first time he had drank so he thought this was definitely strange. Before he could even lie down he was out cold.

Jesse woke up with a splitting headache, "I got wasted last night didn't I?" He asked he went to hold his fore head when he realized his hands were tied behind his back. "What the fuck?" He yelled.

Then an unfamiliar voice chimed,"Tsk, tsk what kind of man cusses on live television?" "What the hell are your talking about?!? Where am I?! Did you say 'live television'?"

"Why of course," the voice added sounding a little more frustrated with Jesse,"Welcome to my show! I am your humble host here today, and I'd like you fans of the show to meet this week's guest: Tomas!" Jesse chimed in, "My name is-" "Now I know you've been waiting for a new guest," the voice interrupted,"But the last one didn't give up that easy. But here he is! (Drum roll please)" the voice waited in utter silence for what felt like half an hour, "Tomas!!!"

Suddenly a bright light shined on Jesse and he squinted to adjust his sight to now brightly lit room. He then noticed a ventriloquist dummy sitting on a couch only a few feet away from him.

The dummy was a lot taller than any puppet Jesse had ever seen; its head much to small for its body and to small for a human head to fit in. It's fingers were the thing that tipped Jesse off the most: they were almost too real to be on a puppet and were capable of pointing and over all moving as a human hand would. He had black plastic hair that was almost un-see able from Jesse's point of view, if it were human hair it would take a lot of product to get it the position it was in.
He had dark circles around his eyes, literal circles.

He was wearing a light grey blazer with a bright red handkerchief in the pocket. Followed by a similar color vest underneath the coat, and some cheap red ribbon tied around his collar to look like a bow tie, though it was far from it. He wore dress pants of that same grey and some black dress shoes. Everything on it looked worn out and hella dirty as if they wasted all the budget on the suit and just said 'ah fuck it' and kept using the same suit for God knows how long.

"Tomas, how are you?" The puppet said like he hadn't just kidnapped Jesse. "What do want from me?" Jesse shouted, "Your the most stubborn play thing I've had all week," it snapped now calling Jesse a 'play thing' rather than his 'guest' "But to let you in on a little secret... I wanna hear you scream." The puppet whispered. "And I'm sure our audience is just dying for it as much as I am so let's not waste another second and get on to our first mini-game! It's called... 'Endure it'"

At that moment the puppet looked out at where an audience would be for a game show like this and sat in silence. After 15 minutes of utter silence the puppet spoke:"It seems our number one pick is... The glass box!" The doll laughed like a small child on his/her birthday. "What is the 'glass box'?" Jesse ask hearing the trembling in his own voice. The host leaned in close to Jesse, "I'm sure your dying to know."

Suddenly the man/puppet stood up and tugged Jesse out of the chair with great force. He's stronger than he looks Jesse thought to himself. He was pulled into a long hallway of doors lead by the dummy; each one had a different label above it: 'firehouse' 'claustrophobia' 'insanity' just to name a few. The two of them eventually made it to 'the glass box' room and proceeded to enter.
