Chapter 8 by Coy-toy

Struggle or go for box cutter?

Go for the box cutter

Thinking the boxcutter is your best bet, you try to hop your chair in the direction of the knife. The soft floor resist sliding, making it tough going. It takes ten minutes to get your chair in position, then you knock yourself over in an attempt to get in reach. Landing on your side, you still can’t quite reach through your bonds. It takes another ten minutes of struggling hard against your bonds to finally reach the cutter. Seeing less than ten minutes remaining, you start to saw on your wrist binding akwardly. With three minutes remaining, you get one arm free, and can more easily get to the rest. You cut rope after rope, frantically going as the time ticks down.

You finally free yourself with 15 seconds left, and dash to the door, just making it in time, utterly exhausted from the first task.
