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

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

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

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

DO you know the awful work that people always do? They know that nothing nice can bring them anything but misery, yet they continue to do it anyhow. They are aware of the implications of their actions, yet they continue to engage in them until they experience negative effects, at which point they will change and cease their behaviors. They may have avoided a disastrous conclusion if they had stopped the first time they were advised not to do so. But I was always wondering why forbidden is so delectable? They can provide you comfort and pleasure in life, but may also bring you harm.  I grasped my head since the agony was still there and my eyesight was becoming blurry, so I took a big breath. “I need to hurry to my room before my parents see me in this condition; they regularly come home, so I have to hide,” I told myself. I attempted to rise again because my foot felt like a withered
