I SAW Adrastos’ jaw tightened and the vein in his forehead almost exploded as he tried to prevent himself from exploding due to the extreme anger and annoyance flowing through his body caused by one of the live watchers of Live Suicide. The live watcher insisted on not killing me and said he would just buy me for one hundred thousand dollars to be treated as one of his animals.
Adrastos gripped the mic tightly. “Mr. Charter, if you are still adamant about your ludicrous demands. I have no choice but to sweep away you from Live Suicide, and you cannot return no matter what you do.”
“So, if you still want to stay here, then shut up and learn to listen to someone else who’s in a higher position than you,” he added firmly, almost sending shivers down my spine.
I shook my head. Mr. Charter, if I were you, I’d simply keep quiet because he’s just crashing with herculean barricades. Yes, he is obscenely well-off, and he ha
I AM here again in my place, patiently standing and awaiting my death punishment before the Grim Reaper picks me up from his abode. The cameras surrounded the entire room where I was in as if they needed to properly filmed my every move and what I would say in my mouth, as if it was really important, even though they were only after my death. Adrastos was standing in front of me while holding his mic. “Hello Everyone! Are you ready to see this child’s death?” he asked, so the Live Suicide notification rang several times. @AnneSmith: We’re ready, captain! @EllenSia Oh, please. My eyes are itching to see blood! @RioMartin I’ve seen a lot of movies and articles regarding beheading people, so I absolutely can not wait to see his head thrown out over his body. @GleeSue My blood is thirsty for killing.
“WE ARE going to take Gavin into the abyss of death with Ms. Francess’s preferred form of execution, the beheading!” Adrastos roared into the microphone, causing the Live Suicide notification to ad-lib ignite. I merely flashed a fragile smile because this was the end of my life. I’m going to die. They’re going to kill me right now. I no longer bothered to look and read the comment box because I knew they were just celebrating and having a good time. “But first and foremost! Let me first present our Suiciders one more time before he kicks the bucket. He is Gavin D. Bautista, and he wants to commit suicide because he killed his own younger sibling. But don’t worry, everyone, because they’ll meet again in heaven if he goes there,” he exclaimed, howling with laughter loudly, before looking at me with an incredibly irritating smugness. “If he will not get straight to heaven because of his heinous
I SLOWLY OPENED my eyes and the radiance of the LED lights hit my eyes. I tried to stand up, but I could not move my hands and legs. I felt my hands and feet tied firmly as I lay on the small wooden bed.I kept my gaze fixed forward and swallowed hard because of the never-ending nervousness. I did not feel earlier that my head was inserted into a small hole, so I could not move it to see what was behind me. I couldn’t raise my head to catch a glimpse of what was above me, but I know what it is because my heart almost stopped pounding earlier at the sight of a gigantic, sharp blade on top of this wooden machine.That long and pointy blade will surely cut my head.I immediately averted my attention and dropped my eyes off beneath me. I noticed an enormous basket underneath me and I am certain that if my neck was cut off, my head would fall here.I took a deep breath.Someone
ADRASTOS sat in his swivel chair, placing his expensive phone to his left ear. “Come to my office, Xeros. You already know what you’re going to do,” he commands after answering the phone.Xeros nods his head before responding, “I’ll be there in ten minutes. Diabolos summoned me to his office. I think he has something important to discuss with me.”Adrastos heard him knocking on the door of Diabolos’ office and figured he was already there. “Alright,” he said, “just come here later after you finished.”He heard the door open before he replied to him, “Okay.”The person in front of him spoke in a deep voice before Xeros could turn off his phone. “Are you talking to Adrastos?” he questioned.“Yes, Diabolos,” Xeros said, looking at the man in front of him. He was dolled up formally,
“SON, you must study diligently, so you can get a decent job and pull us out of poverty. You know you’re our last hope, right? Your sister and brother already have their own families, so they can’t help us because they, too, are financially unstable,” mom stated after I graduated from senior high school.“Yes, mother. I will study hard for our family and will not let you down,” I responded to her while clutching my diploma. “After I finish college, I’ll look for a good job.”Dad smiled heartily as he turned to face me. “That’s right, son. You should plan your future when you are still young so that you don’t end up like your mother and me; who don’t have our own house, impoverished, and rely solely on street food sales for a living.”Mom nods her head, agreeing. “Derrick, don’t be like your brothers and sisters either! Even th
“I’M SORRY. I didn’t mean to break my promise. I assure you I won’t do it again.” I frequently hear people say that when they breach their promise, they made to someone.And then that someone will just keep patiently waiting for you to do your promise because they instilled trust in you. But It is still up to the person who made the promise whether they will fulfill it or just keep making new promises each day even though they cannot fulfill them because of some reason.But what about people who just make a commitment but have no intention of following through? “I just made a promise to you for certainty, so why would I keep it?” As he talked to her girlfriend, I overheard the man next to me say that.She slapped the guy in the face. “You said you’d marry me when we finished college, but what did I suddenly discover? Why did you give me up for the lady you met a
“SIR, can I ask for a second chance? I pledge to work hard in class. I am begging you, sir! I just really need this scholarship,” I said to Sir Alan as I battled to earn another chance at University.He let out a sigh. “Please accept my apologies, Mr. Villanueva. But you failed, miserably. You not only have a failing grade in one subject but nearly all of them.”“Sir, I’m sorry. I’m just having a hard time with architecture at the moment,” I said to him as I lowered my face in shame.I thought I could do well in this subject’s courses, but it did my brain cells done for architecture. Studying this is extremely hard and challenging.I’m not only attending college, but I also work hard to support my family. In my spare time, I manage the library in the institute, work as a server at a fast-food restaurant after my class, and after my shift end
TODAY IS SUNDAY, so I found an excuse with my parents for not going to school. I still haven’t told them I won’t be able to continue my education as a second-year college student because I failed and lost my scholarship.I was hesitant to tell them because I knew they would be disappointed. They worked so hard to make sure I could go to college because they expected me to help them get out of poverty. My younger siblings are still young, so they do not put any expectations on them. My youngest sibling was still in elementary school, and mom and dad were 43 and 45 years old, respectively.I had an idea to tell my mother about my studies when we were sitting on the narrow and old sofa. “I’m having a lot of trouble at school, Mom. Architecture is not something I am capable of. Hahaha,” I said to my mother, who was still preoccupied with folding our garments.Mom smiled at me after a brief exami
