Termination Game

 "Called off?" I asked, dazed at the sudden turn of events. The police officers immediately stole the knife in my hands and hid it behind their backs. For a moment, I glanced at the lady, wisps of hair almost covering her face. Her dress was shriveled enough that there are some unbuttoned portions, one from below her sternum and another above her belly button. You could already imagine the hassle she had gone through just to get here."I have no time to bother explaining why to you, let's go," she said while pulling me towards her red convertibleHer statement begrudgingly left a bad taste in my mouth, yet I cannot comment as I was disturb by the thought that her blac

 The night was rather silent, and my preparation is not yet complete. I could only gather a handful of vital pieces of information about a few of the participants. My hands will be tied up and a blindfold will restrict my vision. I could still run with my feet, but it would be bad if I were to be positioned lying down. Let's think this through, smell, touch, and voice…. These three are very important to identify them without a sense of sight, I also need to know their names. Would nicknames work? "Ah…."To be safe I need to know their full names. Would they even tell me their real ones if I asked? I bit my nails to the point it bled because of anxi

 He was standing there staring at my patched wound. To be honest it was kind of awkward standing here waiting for him to say something or whatever. A couple of seconds had passed, and then he jolted almost as if he realized that he still needed to talk, "Uhm, Hey, I am sorry that I was an ass to you yesterday," he said. That startled me a bit as that was too straight forward, I expected him to reason out first before actually apologizing. Is it because he is genuinely sorry? "I am sorry… ah, don't worry I don't expect that you will forgive me," he said worriedly waving his hands in the air, albeit the grudge he was kind of cute. "And I just want to

 I'm here trying to preserve the life of this lady— my genuine, concise, and mildly disturbing statement must have been well received as a warning yet she mockingly laughs at me like I'm some kind of lunatic or something. 'Believe me lady this might be the worst day of your life if you continue this nonsensical laugh you're imposing.'"Sorry, that might have been rude," she said forcing herself to stop laughing, "I was just surprised that such a young girl like you would have such grim  thoughts. I just can't take it seriously, although that's not your fault, don't worry." "Uhm… I'm quite confused, you see I'm a mature 22 year old lady, I believe I'm about as mature as you are, both in mind and body!" I declared, o

 When the police arrived I was just sitting on the couch as they put handcuffs at my mom. Two police officers then looked at me and asked, "What happened here kid?" The junior officer asked. The senior officer immediately tapped the junior's chest twice with the back of his hand, "Be sensitive… let her talk on her own," he said like it was the protocol.Thinking that there is no reason for me to remain silent, I gave some vague explanation – the kind where it's elaborate yet misleading – and looked at them. It happened two days ago, we were playing hide and seek at that time. I was hiding in the closet when I felt that something else was wrong. I came down for quite a while and I looked everywhere but I didn't see a glimpse of Hanna and Margo anywhere. I ran outside and found my littl
