[ WP ] There is a pit filled with every horror imaginable . There are a group of mortal people dropped into the bottom of the pit with the goal `` Get out . ''

She was surprised that there was someone waiting when she came out. It was hard to estimate time in The Pit, but she knew it had been a long time since she and the others went inside. 
 
 `` Oh my god!'' the man exclaimed. `` Amanda Samuels!'' 
 
 He reached for a camera and snapped a quick photo before extending his hand out to her. 
 
 `` Mike Jackson,'' the man said. `` It's an honor to meet you. I've been coming out here for the past ten months on assignment with the Daily News.'' 
 
 `` Amanda,'' she replied, shaking his hand. `` How long have we been gone?'' 
 
 `` Are the rest of you still alive?'' Mike asked. 
 
 Amanda merely looked at him, waiting for an answer to her own question. 
 
 `` Not as long as you might think,'' Mike said quickly. `` One year, eight months, and six days.'' 
 
 `` You have n't got it down to the hour?'' Amanda smirked. 
 
 `` Not quite,'' Mike said, with an embarrassed chuckle. 
 
 Amanda laughed with him before her eyes turned to his camera. 
 
 `` Do you want to say anything about what happened down there?'' Mike asked. `` This thing has live stream capability - I bet everyone would love to hear from you. Of course, I understand if you do n't want to...'' 
 
 Amanda shook her head. 
 
 `` It's important that I get my story out there,'' she told him. `` I'm ready to go when you are.'' 
 
 After making a quick but excited call to his manager, Mike set up the camera on a tripod. 
 
 `` Let's roll,'' he announced. `` This is Mike Jackson, on scene with Amanda Samuels who has just emerged from The Pit, seemingly unscathed. Welcome back to civilization, Amanda. How did you do it?'' 
 
 `` Thank you, Mike,'' Amanda said graciously. `` It certainly was n't easy, I can tell you that. The darkness, the nightmarish creatures, the constant fear - it all starts to get to you at first.'' 
 
 She paused, and Mike smiled encouragingly at her. 
 
 `` We tried to focus on the mission we were given,'' Amanda continued. `` We soon realized that fighting our way out was n't an option. After we lost Dex, we did n't know how to go on.'' 
 
 `` You and Dex were close,'' Mike remarked. 
 
 `` Very,'' Amanda acknowledged. `` Knowing that he's gone still hurts me every day. But we had to get out. So we decided to go about things in a different way. Were these creatures as bad as we had been told? Some of them were, but some were different. Some were friendly to us.'' 
 
 Mike suppressed a shiver as Amanda kept going. 
 
 `` And as time went on, we realized that they were n't the monsters,'' she declared. `` They were being kept down there in the darkest depths of the planet, while humans freely roamed the surface. They were left down there to keep each other busy, to fight and kill each other while humans enjoyed life in the sunlight.'' 
 
 Mike laughed nervously and turned to the camera. 
 
 `` Well, it seems that Amanda has had a grueling journey,'' he said. `` After she gets a chance to rest, tune in to Daily News again to hear all about her escape.'' 
 
 `` Mike, this is n't an escape,'' Amanda told him, with a malevolent smile. `` It's an invasion.'' 
 
 The last thing the viewers saw before the camera was smashed was a mass of dark figures emerging from The Pit.
