MY HEART skipped a beat, and my entire body pulled taut as I stood. I’m not sure what I’m feeling right now, as I am standing in front of the person who will discriminate against my sin and death tonight.
Adrastos moved away from his prior seat and fiddled with his laptop. When he finished what he was doing, a humongous screen flashed in front of me, so I focused my attention there and observed what they jotted down.
I dropped my jaw to the floor when a sequence of messages was displayed on the monitor. I can also see the reaction buttons that the watchers have pressed.
When I looked at the camera in front of me, I realized I was being caught on video in real-time. I assumed that what was about to happen to me was being taped and would only be presented to wealthy individuals who wanted to witness my demise. “I forgot that all the people here in Live Suicide are well off,” I said in my mind.&
DOES A person’s conduct alter when he or she becomes rich and powerful? When a person gets a lot of money, all they want to do is use it for wickedness. Or maybe, they still don’t get enough money, so they will do everything in their power to just continue to increase it.They say, “Dirty people use dirty money by getting it in a dirty way.”I drew my gaze to the comment section as it rang out in a sequential manner after Adrastos’s previous utterance of the sentences. I’m confident they’ll provide a substantial quantity of money in trade for my life for me to die.What form of death may I expect at their hands? I don’t want them to murder me slowly while waiting for my body to suffocate. I want to die without feeling pain because I despise it. I want to die quickly so that I may be with my family in the next life and give them the justice they deserve.
Walking on the plank will be the method by which they shall kill me. Suddenly, the narrative of the pirate ship I had read before came to mind. Walking on the plank was also used as a kind of punishment for those who betrayed them, according to the book.The rebels, cowards, fraudsters, and people who had committed major indiscretions in the previous century was punished by walking on the plank. The pirates compelled their victims to walk straight on the plank position on the edge of the ship with their eyes blinded and their wrists bound so that if they jumped, they would drown in the water.I forced a firm swallow. It appears that my dream the day before I found out my parents died in the shipwreck was also a foreshadowing of my imminent demise. “Who would have believed I’d die from drowning again?” I thought to myself.I sighed and laughed harshly at myself. “Perhaps my prior dream was my trial
I WENT behind Adrastos as the two of us strolled, with the other guys keeping an eye on me in case I changed my mind and ran away. We went to the previous hall, where there were many cameras and sensors trained on us, so I returned to the middle of the stage, while Adrastos stood in front of me, holding a microphone in his right hand.“Good evening, live viewers! We’re right back here because I know you’re thrilled to watch the death of our Suicider today!” remarked Adrastos as I rolled my eyes all over.My eyes landed there to read the message they left after the notification sound went off numerous times to show that they agreed with what he stated.Comment box:@Jamby SmithWe are so fired up @LiveSuicide because we will witness another death!@Queen BuenI was so eager to watch her drown, so I booked a full swimming pool and attempted to
WE CAME to a halt in front of a tremendous door with a pool area plaque, which was pushed by two men who had trailed me like a tail before. When the door swung open, a wide area appeared in front of me. I rolled my eyes around and noticed an enormous swimming pool filled with liquid in the center.Adrastos was the first to arrive, so I took his place right away. I sensed as though a tremendous blast of wind had slammed my body the moment I stepped into this room.I rotated my eyes all over the place, looking for the source of the powerful breeze I’d felt earlier, but I couldn’t discover anything because all the windows that could allow in fresh air were closed. And also, the men closed the big door immediately after seeing that Adrastos and I had entered.I was further worried by the fact that there was neither an electric fan nor a ceiling fan in the pool area. I just shook my head and pretended not to notic
THE FOUR guys who had previously undressed and clothed me began to approach me. When I looked at their hands, I noticed two men carrying shackles and leg irons.I gulped hard as they came to a halt in front of me because I knew what they were about to do to me. “Move your two hands,” the man ordered solemnly while holding the shackle.I gasped and closed my eyes before extending my hand to them. I heard the shackle unlocked before putting it on my hand and closing it, so I opened my eyes and saw that they already strapped my two hands down.I knew I was nearing the end the moment they placed the shackle around my wrist. When I leap into a swimming pool full of individuals who died via the walking on the plank method last year, month, or day, I know I’ll have the same experience as them.I will die.I shook my head when I suddenly remembered something. Even if th
EVERYONE WITNESSED Dainty close her eyes and open her lips, allowing the water to penetrate her body. Her body steadily fell into the everlasting water till she died, like with the other victims who perished by walking on the plank.When the camera that was capturing Dainty's body falling in the swimming pool abruptly shut off, Adrastos shouted up to draw the viewer's attention. "Hello, live viewers! We all saw our Suicider lose her breath tonight, therefore we know she's dead!"When the notification sound of Live Suicide rang, Adrastos diverted his gaze there to observe and read the opinions of the live spectators. "I hope they are content with the death they have watched tonight," he murmured in his head.Comment Box:@Claire Mendez@LiveSuicide, the death we witnessed tonight was very gratifying. Thank you, Mr. Adrastos, for once again providing us with a spectacle of death that leaves an i
“DAD! What is this present you got me? A new car again? You know I can’t use it,” I said to my father as I noticed the newly parked automobile in the garage.I’m not sure how many times I’ll tell Dad that he doesn’t need to give me costly stuff like vehicles, watches, clothes, shoes, or anything else because I’m not a materialistic person.I understand that at my age, my peers would want to be gifted in this manner by their parents, but I am not one of them. I would rather want my parents not to spend money on me to buy luxurious items.I would rather work hard than depend on my parents to provide for my needs. What’s the point of being old and strong if I keep relying on my parents like I’m a spoilt brat who always has to buy toys to be happy?When I heard Dad’s heavy footsteps approaching, I rushed to meet him. I noticed he had just gotten
IT'S EXTREMELY challenging when someone becomes ill. They all work hard to earn a lot of money for their livelihood, but it is also gradually causing damage to their health.Overwork may sometimes be the source of the urge to work excessively long hours. We want funds for check-ups, medication, and hospital fees after being diagnosed with the ailment because of overworking ourselves.I know everyone has to work because when they don’t take a job; they are going to be in a dire situation. They can’t purchase food, they can’t pay for electricity and resources, they can’t pay for their rental housing, and they can’t buy what they want.Poverty or a dearth of finances is a crucial factor why individuals labor hard and become severely depressed and physically impaired. With the cost of living in the world being so exorbitant, even working hard is insufficient, so when people get ill, they do not
