The Basement
Tetsuo had no idea how he ended up here. Natasha, his long-time friend, had always been kind, but that kindness took a darker turn. One day, he visited her home for what seemed like an innocent chat, but after that, everything became a blur. Now, he finds himself trapped in the basement of her house, where time feels distorted, and reality is slowly slipping away. The only thing more terrifying than the cold, empty room is Natasha herself.
Each passing day is a test of his sanity. Natasha’s unsettling kindness masks something far more sinister, and the mirror she gave him reveals a version of himself that grows weaker, more distorted with every glance. His mind races with questions—what is happening to him? Why is Natasha so determined to keep him locked away?
As the days blend into a surreal nightmare, Tetsuo’s thoughts become his only companion. He begins to question everything—his surroundings, Natasha’s motives, and even his own perception of reality. With each decision he makes, the fine line between truth and madness blurs further. Every moment is filled with tension as Tetsuo grapples with the reality Natasha forces upon him.
Will Tetsuo find the strength to escape before it’s too late, or will Natasha’s grip on him tighten until he can no longer tell what’s real? His mental state teeters on the edge as his perception of the world grows increasingly fragile. The basement itself seems to close in on him, and the only way out might come with a cost he's not prepared to pay.
But sometimes, even escape isn't what it seems. In The Basement, survival is uncertain, and sometimes the real prison is the mind itself. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
