Can I change the opening a bit? I'd keep the same basic premise, but instead of "you" could I write "he"? Maybe change some of the other words so they don't sound so...bland?

So what. Take a chance. If nothing else it would be a good learning experience.

yourself chained up in a grimey bathroom. You look around and see a dead man on the floor in front of you. Suddenly you hear splashing water. You look over and see you have company.
