After I caught my breath and looked around once more, I've found another glass screen but this one is on the wall. Screen's wallpaper colour is dark midnight blue with bunch of cyan square lines. I touch it and...it works? Eh whatever... The screen begins to show me a map of some sort, it displays all the floors of the...hold on. I know this..

Then it shows how big the bunker is...it's REALLY big. The facility is upside down L shaped block...mostly. Some of the floors is either crushed or placed in the wrong position or cut off and isolated with no way to reach them. Floors 1 and 2 tho...Makes me wonder as I looked through the map trying to find a way to descend to floor 2. Hm, the stairwell on my left should lead me there.

So I moved there, walking for a few minutes before I arrived. It was a straight walk so no problem there. I look at it before putting my hand on the railing ...Then I looked down the well - water on the floor-3 and beyond...nothing but water...but...I kept looking at it, observing the darkness all the way down. I found myself staring at the abyss so I stopped, worried that the abyss might stare back. I got chills in my spine before I moved a bit closer before my foot hit something. It was a piece of metal before it falls at the abyss. It made a splashing sound as it descends to what I assume, the bottom part of the stairwell, My heart sank when I know that if I make a wrong move there won't be any more moves to make. I kept looking at it again just so I could put that memory in my head...but then...I see something. I couldn't make it out but, it looked like a human silhouette of some sort, it was...standing? No. The silhouette begins to ascend at a horrifying rate as it became more and more clear by the second of what is. Fear begin to take a toll on me as I couldn't move, my eyes looking at the silhouette, unable to divert them elsewhere even I tried... but when it finally reached the surface.

I gasped and screamed falling backwards. After that little jump scare, I took my time to calm down, breathing heavily while comprehending of what I just saw. Then I slowly got back up before moving to the well. I grabbed the railing with one hand and pull myself to it. As I made it back to the well I slowly looked down and-...oh my god... my eyes widened as I see a pale ruined corpse on the surface of the water, the eyes are missing there are nothing but hollow eye sockets... scratch that...instead...its water. The torso shows all the organisms of it. I shou-DEAR LORD! WHAT THE HELL?! More and more bodies started to show up. Each of them is worse than the last, some of them are skeleton's...some of them are a mixture between the two...some of them are just... just body parts.

"Oh god [I covered my mouth with my right hand, whispering] I think I'm going to vomit!" I wanted to...but I couldn't. I moved myself away from the stairwell to the wall on my left, I through my side on the wall before sliding down to the metal floor.

N-no... there all dead! Tears racing down my face'... "I-I'm a-all aloo-o-one!" I said weakly in fear and despair begins to take a hold on my mind...my soul... my sanity... and finally... my body.

I begin to cry uncontrollably before I curled myself into a ball, so the pain in my very being will go away. I continued to cry until the ocean of sorrow is no more, my eyes begin to feel heavy as the world of dreams took me once more to bring me comfort.
