You’re Next 1.5

D20 Novice

Hoover Nigel Ray

You're on your way to the gym. You stop in the restroom at the transportation center, just as you have a million times before. You finish your business, and turn to leave, but the door is, well, changed. It used to be a normal restroom door, but now it's made of weathered planks, and has brass fittings. New decor? It must have been like that when you came in. I mean mustn’t it?
On the other side of the door the corridor has changed, to. Its rough-hewn stone, dimly lit by the fluorescents in the restroom behind you, and by a flickering red light coming from around the corner ahead. Curiouser and curiouser. You look back, and the normal sinks and so forth are still there. What’s around the corner? It can’t hurt to take a quick peek.
Around the corner is a vaulted cavern, with multiple archways leading into it, lit by a roaring bonfire against tone of the rune-carved walls. People are coming through the archways, oddly-garbed people, but you have eyes only for the cowboy in the center of the cavern, lying face down in a pool of blood.
You approach the cowboy, vaguely aware that the others are doing the same. Someone turns him over. He looks up at you with recognition and says, “You’re next!” He coughs. And he dies.
The eerie part, the really creepy part, is that he has your face. And so do all the oddly-garbed people….
