They said I’d won something, a contest I hadn’t entered. But I go anyway, it’s free, I’ve got nothing to lose. On my way there, I avoid every third sidewalk square and I jump every three steps. I hate that number; I’m convinced that it will someday be the death of me.
I arrive and am greeted by three threes next to the door. God, I’m not sure I can do this. After taking a breath to steady my self, I close my eyes and reach for the knob. My fingers wrap around a bizarre shape and when I open my eyes: a triangle. I stifle a shriek, but I start hyperventilating. I go in and run to the end of the long triangular hallway, trying not to cry. I reach a door, a triangle, with a triangular knob. Suddenly it splits into three sections, and three hands push me from behind. I’m sealed into a massive pyramid, with three giant triangular tiles on each wall. Another girl is in the room, I see her from the corner of my eye, and I’m huddled in the corner, trying to avoid the horrible threes. I can’t breath. They let the other girl out and I run to the door, screaming, begging. They seal it behind her and the walls start to close, they grow smaller, the threes are going to kill me.
