What kind of sadist would say this place is a game? 

  I shivered at his words, and he came to a halt. The tall man started turning around slowly. While turning around he exclaimed:

"But don't worry! I'm here to help you” a weird smile on his face when he said those words.

  I looked past his shoulder and I saw a large tall brick wall. It seemed to be never-ending. Compared to it I looked like an ant. 

"Go next to it and turn around," he told me, so I did, a bit suspicious of him. 

  I came closer to it and felt a shiver going down my back. I got a gut feeling that I should turn around and face him and when I did, I regretted it. As I turned to look at the strange man, he had begun to reach his hand into his pocket.

What was he doing? 

Why did he tell me to turn around? 

As I was in a daze thinking of the possibilities this could lead to, I noticed that he had pulled out an object that I didn't expect to see.
