As I cracked open the door of the old toy factory, my heart raced. The room was dim, with the flicker of an ancient television lighting up the dusty surroundings. Suddenly, a voice echoed from the screen: 'Welcome to Stage Two. Survive the hide-and-seek... or else.'

The voice hissed another warning: 'She's coming.' My blood froze as faint giggles swept through the air. Slowly, out of the shadows came [Mommy Longlegs](KZ4HC77Q). Pink and twisted, her long limbs stretched with impossible grace, the bow at her neck fluttering as she moved.

Trying not to panic, I tiptoed past the conveyor belts and into another room. Toys hung from the ceiling like frozen puppets, and the word 'Escape' was written on a wall in glowing paint. But I could still hear her—she was searching for me.

She sang in a teasing tone, 'Where are you, my little friend? Don't make me wait...' Her voice sent chills down my spine. I realized I had to act fast. In the corner was a machine labeled 'Disassembler'—my only hope for defeating her.

I searched quickly, finding gears and wires scattered on the floor. I had to lure her closer and trap her. Drawing in a breath, I whispered, 'Here goes nothing,' and deliberately knocked over a pile of noisy toys to draw her attention.

She appeared quickly, her long legs clicking against the floor as she moved. 'Found you!' she shrieked with glee, lunging toward me. I retreated toward the machine, my hands trembling as I reached for the lever.

With a deep breath, I pulled the lever. The machine roared to life, gears spinning and sparks flying. [Mommy Longlegs](KZ4HC77Q) froze mid-stride, her long arm caught by the machine's grasp. 'No!' she cried, struggling desperately.

Piece by piece, her long limbs were drawn into the machine. The room echoed with her fading cry: 'I’ll be back someday... this isn't over!' The machine whirred to a stop, and silence filled the room.

Exhausted but determined, I slowly walked back through the factory. The faint glow of an exit sign gave me a glimmer of hope. The voice from the TV lingered in my mind: 'This was only Stage Two.'

As I stepped through the door into the crisp night air, I looked back at the factory one last time. Whatever the next stage held, I knew I was ready. For now, I had won this game of life.
