IT WAS also more than a week ago when I promised Noah that I would tell mom about our relationship, but I still can’t. He was also bugging me that the two of us should tell mom so I wouldn’t be worried, but he did not know that mom didn’t want me to have a lover of the same sex as me. When a message appeared in my inbox, I opened it and read it, since I knew it was from my lover, Noah. He is the only one that messages me day or night as long as he can convey what he wants from me. From: Mi Amor, Mi Noah. Have you informed your mom about our relationship, babe? It has been two weeks. Our fifth anniversary is coming up in three days, and I’d like to meet your mother. I couldn’t help but gasp. Even though I try not to bring up the parents’ meet-and-greet, he does every day. What am I going to do? Will I inform my mother that I have a boyfriend? Or

WE RECEIVED your application for Live Suicide and we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted. I hope you are also prepared to die. You are now an official participant in the Live Suicide, and you can not retract your statement. Please get ready because someone will come to your house within 24 hours to pick you up. Best, Live Suicide Team When I got to my unit, I read my email. I wasn’t expecting Live Suicide to be true, and now they’re going to take me right away. I just sent them an email to let them know I received their message. Hello, Live Suicide Team. Thank you very much for welcoming me as a Live Suicide member. I didn’t believe it was true about Live Suicide but don’t worry, I’m not going back on my word. I’ll be ready to leave our residence in 24 hours. Thank you very much. Mr. M

THERE WAS a knock on the door after a few hours of my stay in the room, so I slowly got out of bed. I just sighed and braced myself since death was on its way to pick me up. When I opened the door to my room, I noticed two people with immense bodies standing in front of me. They were both dressed in black polo shirts and black trousers. I have also seen the firearms that were slinging on their hips. My eyes widened when I noticed the man carrying a rope, and I assumed they would use it on me. Why do they have to put me on a rope in the first place? Do they believe I will still run away from them? I didn’t even know where we were because we were at the end of the forest, and if I dared to enter the woodland, I knew I would die there because they had many traps put up for people fleeing the scene or feral creatures. Even though I was terrified of them, I forced a big grin at them. “Hello, my name is Mario. Good

I FELT as though I had lost myself once Adrastos officially confirmed the way of my death. Who wants to be crucified? My heart stopped pounding, and I had a hard time breathing. “We’ll end our lives here for a while, then return later to condemn Mario to death!” Adrastos remarked as he approached me. “If you want to receive your money, follow me.” I didn’t hesitate and instantly followed him as he walked away from the room where we were. I was not interested in money, but when I learned the cause of my death, I thought I deserved to collect the money I could garner from it. I don’t want to suffer from severe at their hands and die in vain. I’d rather die with dignity. Will my death be worthless because I have no value in the world? That doesn’t seem right. I want to be valuable in some way, even if it means sacrificing my life. 

ADRASTOS’ REMARKS appeared to ring hollow in Mario’s ears. Who would want to be nailed to a cross? His gaze roamed throughout the room, and he discovered a towering wooden cross only encircled him with a deceased person nailed on it, and the bottom of the chamber was covered with various parts of the human body and buckets of bloodshed. When Mario saw the appearance of the people with their corpses still in the mid-air, he understood all of their sufferings was not a laughing matter. It coated their whole bodies in blood, and there were remnants of the whip. He took a deep breath and swallowed. They appear to have been tormented before their death. Mario’s mind is having a dilemma digesting everything that has occurred. He came here because he knew he intended to commit suicide. He knew he’d die the moment he signed up for the application and stepped into the LV Building.
