Danger Time

It starts like this:

"You are in a brightly lit white room."

"There is a metal door in front of you."

"It is slightly ajar."

"What do you do?"

You wake up in this room without memories. It appears you are in a hospital, wearing green scrubs, but you don't know why. The plaque on the door says that your name is Eurydice. The clock doesn't appear to be working. There's blood on the walls. There's a faint tapping coming from somewhere. And there's a note in your pocket that tells you to rejoice - today is the first day of the end of your life.

Tropes that appear in Danger Time:
"You see in front of you something that was probably once a man. It is naked, tall, and fish-belly white, and it looks as though something has scooped out its face and most of its brain, leaving a hollow, empty cavity in its place. Its finger and toenails have been forcibly ripped from its body and replaced by long, rusted iron nails."
