Pick A Number Game Novels & Stories

I am seriously regretting this game I started. There is nothing I can do tonight, so I slowly rise from the hard floor and dust myself off. I eat a light dinner and make a cup of hot tea. Next, I head upstairs to take a long bath. I begin filling the clawtooth tub with warm water and add in some of my favorite rose bath oils before lighting candles around the room. This is my sanctuary and exactly what I need right now. I lean my head back and breathe in the rose and amber from the candles as Frank Sinatra’s smooth melodic voice fills the room. I was just about to drift off to sleep when suddenly I felt a shift in the atmosphere. Power, raw angry power was headed my way. I see no point in ge

This is Tobi. I quickly picked up my phone and was about to construct a reply to him but Calvin got my attention. "Who's that?" I couldn't tell Calvin that a classmate of mine helped me. He will be furious and add the fact that it's a guy. "It's just a wrong number. I’m just reading the text" I said as I kept the phone in my pocket

Unknown Caller Arielle didn’t remember pressing the call button. She only remembered staring at the empty space where Daniel’s number used to be saved… and then deciding she didn’t need it. She knew it. Her fingers moved on instinct. Nine digits. Her heart thudded violently in her chest as the phone rang. Once. Twice. Three times— It clicked. Arielle straightened on the bar stool, suddenly breathless. “Hello.” That voice. Deep. Smooth. Controlled.

Cassius does feel guilty for taking the prize from him. ‘Then, I will just buy him another drawing tablet,’ he thought as he diverted back to the screen. There are five numbers in the screen where he will choose. 10, 11, 18, 25 and 26. To win the game, Cassius thought that all he needed to do is to choose 10; Harriet’s birthday. Thus, Cassius proudly looked at the host and gave his answer. “I will choose number ten,” he said. “It’s number ten, everybody!” the host announced. “Will the young man get the first price?! Let’s see!”

“Yeah, tell us what the game's about!” “Okay, I'm happy that you all aren't angry. Now in today's game, we are going to randomly pick a lady, the highest bid on her gets to take her out for a day! A worker will carry a box and every lady present will have to pick a paper from the box, there are many "NOT YOU" and just one "YOU" If you pick the paper which had "YOU" written in it, you'll be the one bidded on, okay?” “OKAY!!” Everyone shouted, anticipating to see how high the men can bid.

Rajeev's face was alight with joy, his laughter mingling with Gnapika's as they strategized their next moves. Abhi paused, taking in the scene. The game was simple yet captivating, with rows of small pits holding the vibrant stones. Each player took turns picking up stones from one of their pits and distributing them one by one into the subsequent pits, aiming to capture more stones than the other. It was a game of skill, calculation, and a bit of luck, and it was clear that both Rajeev and Gnapika were deeply immersed in it.

Jennie said angrily as well. The people around them immediately turned their eyes toward the stunning Jennie. Every gaze focused on her. If they could win such a beautiful woman today, that alone would make the day worthwhile. Only then did Natalie finally fall silent. Sean looked at the dealer before asking, "How do you play?" The dealer's eyes lit up again as he replied, "Guess the number. The minimum bet is five billion." "What's the maximum bet?" Sean asked again. "There is no limit," the dealer answered.

I had thought I would calmly expose his lies, but my body couldn't help but tremble as I spoke. "You disgust me! Since that's the case, I'm done playing this game. Go, be happy with her." Shane didn't expect me to know the truth, and he couldn't even form a proper sentence. "W-What do you mean, you're done playing this game?" "I'll leave this world. I won't appear in front of you anymore." A trace of panic appeared on Shane's face. He clenched his fists, but with so many people around, he still forced a smile. "That's got to be a bluff! Your mission's not complete yet, so your sister will die!"

I squeezed Jonas’s hand before moving to Osirus’ side as he called everyone to order. “Our first game is to see how many kills you can obtain in half an hour, only using your Goddess-given abilities. We will hunt in teams of ten. The winner will get their choice of a date partner for tonight. The date will be at any restaurant in the area and paid for by my father. Now, who wants to be in the first group?” he asked. I thrust my hand confidently into the air. “I want to go.”

We were about to die playing hopscotch. A part of me almost laughed—it sounded so stupid, so absurd. Another part of me wanted to curl up on the floor and never move again. But then again, were the other games not as absurd to die because of. The Game Master raised its hand, and a holographic number appeared in the air. “Order will be randomized,” it said. “Fairness is everything, after all.” The numbers spun like a slot machine before freezing one by one, names appearing next to them.
