Dallas

You wake up in an unfamiliar room. Outside the window are concrete walls, and there are handcuff marks on your hands. On the table are a phone, a bottle of water, and a digital timer:

71:58:43

The door opens.

A stranger in dark clothing enters. He doesn't look frightened or aggressive—on the contrary, he's too calm.

• Don't scream. I won't touch you.

— Where am I?!

• Safe.

• You kidnapped me!

Dallas stares at the timer in silence.

• In seventy-two hours this city will no longer exist.

You laugh, thinking he's crazy. But then he shows you the news.

Your city is on the screen.

Only the date in the news is in three days.

In the video, the streets are empty, the buildings are covered in a strange black film, and a huge crack in the sky hangs over the city.

• This is impossible…

• I know. That's why you won't believe me.

He says he has already tried to prevent the disaster six times.

Each time, the city disappeared after exactly 72 hours.

And every time it all started with you.

The first time you died was 18 hours before the disaster.

In the second, they disappeared.

In the third, they themselves brought in people who destroyed the city.

And the sixth time you left him only one phrase:

"If I wake up again, kidnap me. And never let me remember."

You don't believe him.

But after a few hours, things begin to happen that cannot be explained.

The phone shows photos of events that haven't happened yet.

A man you have only seen in your dreams appears on the street.

And at night you wake up to the sound of your own voice from the next room.

Dallas stands at the door and listens.

• What is this?

He replies:

• You're talking to yourself.

• But I'm here.

• Exactly.

The next day he finally confesses:

He is not a kidnapper.

He is the only person who remembers the previous six attempts.

And with each new attempt you became more and more dangerous.

23 hours left.

You find an old photograph on him.

In it, you and he are standing together near the very building where you are now locked.

On the back it says:

Attempt #7: Don't trust him.
