"How can you live your life if you can't create new memories?"
"How can I move forward when I'm stuck in the past?"
"I know that the saddest moment is when a person who gave you the best memories, becomes a memory but I guess having n...
"We don't know? The lights turned off so maybe they're dead?" sabi nang isang lalaki. There's only 9 person left in this room. 4 men including Krio and 5 women including me.
"Can you please give us some time?" this doctor said, lumayo muna sila sa amin.
"Are you okay, Leyra?" he asked me.
"What is happening?" I asked him, pinaliwanag niya sa akin ang mga nangyari. Maya't maya pa may biglang sumigaw. Two man was shot dead after they touched a painting. There's seven of us left.
"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" sigaw nang babae nag hysterical na sa sobrang takot.
"CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT UP?" sigaw nang lalaki sa kanya
"WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE IN HERE!" another woman shouted and cried.
Tumayo na kami, Krio hold my hand.
"Stay behind me," sabi niya.
"Did you see that? Kanina wala pa yang mga orasan na yan," sambit niya sa'kin and he pointed those big clock surrounding the room.
"So what is it?" nagtataka kong tanong
"I don't know, maybe there's something behind it," wika niya at may biglang nakakabinging tunog na naman kami na narinig and then a timer popped up.
"What is that?" I asked him again he looked at me seriously.
"GUYS, I THINK WE NEED TO START LOOKING FOR SOMETHING!" He shouted.
"FIND WHAT?" tanong nila.
"ANYTHING! JUST BE CAREFUL!" he added
Nagsimula na kami maghanap ng kung ano. Habang naghahanap ako may napansin akong libro sa sahig. Kinuha ko ito.
"Leyra, don't touch anything," paalala sa'kin ni Krio akmang babalik ko na ito nang biglang may napansin na naman itong si Krio.
"Wait!" He looked at the spine part of the book and notice that there was a letter written in it. He then looked at the rest of the bookshelves and there are letters on each spine part of the book.
"What is that?" I asked him
"I'm not sure but I think it's another code again." Tinignan ko siya at seryoso siyang nakatingin sa mga libro.
"Maybe it's a name of the murderer?" another woman utter.
"Yeah, it has to be," another girl agreed.
"Hey, you! Can you decode it again?" this man spoke.
"I'm trying," Krio said and looked at him seriously.
While I'm looking at the books, the letters sequence of each book look likes
"Instead of writing the real letter, you find that letter in the alphabet and count forward - as many letters as the number you picked," He explained and then he looked at the clocks that surrounds this room.
"You see that clock it only points to the number that has 0 and 1, so it must've do something about this."
"What do you mean?"
"We should forward 1 letter to decode this. So that means this S becomes T and G becomes H and so on."

Krio decoded and explained to us.
"Wait, that message sounds familiar?" sabi ng isang babae.
"Guys look at this!" another woman speak behind us and now where looking at the sculpture of a man with a beard holding a book on his right hand and a rope in his left hand. Lumapit kami to check it.
"He's Master Riosiota!" sabi nang lalaki at may biglang nakakabinging tunog na naman kaming narinig. Biglang sumigaw ang dalawang babae sa likod ko 'yon pala nahulog sila. The next thing I know I was holding Krio's hand kasi mahuhulog na rin ako. Tumingin ako sa ilalim na sakaling babagsakan ko, it was dark.
"Hold on. Don't let go!" sabi ni Krio habang hinihila ako pataas. I saw him struggling pulling me up, sa bigat ko ba naman siguro. Unti-unti niya akong inangat hanggang sa makaakyat ako. Lifesaver.
"Are you okay?" he asked and I saw his concerned face habang tumatagaktak ang pawis niya.
"Thankyou!" 'yon lang ang nasabi ko sa kanya.
"Where are they?" tanong ko sa kanya kasi kami na lang dalawa ang natitira.
"They're gone," wika nito at medyo nanlumo siya
"So we're the only ones left?" I asked him at medyo natatakot na rin ako.
"Yeah," he said.
Tumayo ako at shouted
"YOU CALL IT A GAME? THIS IS B*LLSH*T!"
"HEY LEYRA, STOP IT!" pinigilan ako ni Krio.
"Stop? What will happen to us? We're going to die in here anyways!" I said and medyo nag hysterical na ako. Hinawakan niya ako sa pisngi.
"No. We're not gonna die in this stupid place. Trust me were gonna make it," he promised.
"I need you. Just stay with me. Would you?" he added and looked at me in the eyes.
