To Be Winner Novels & Stories

She danced around. “We’ll talk later. I’m late. Congrats.” It was really a surprise. We will talk about this later, celebrating. “I’ll be waiting.” I rushed out, my head spinning. As I drove, I wondered if this gift was another red flag. Laura had long dreamed of owning a winery. She was a connoisseur, working at a bank only to fill the gap. Now she had it. Even if he was a fraud, at least she had her dream.

Esmond's voice rang with excitement and approval. "Congratulations, Brian! In the recently concluded Spark Cup National Youth Coding Championship, you won first place by an overwhelming margin. "Your project, the Smart City Dynamic Traffic Optimization and Monitoring System, impressed every judge on the panel. They all agreed it's one of the most innovative and practical projects we've seen in years. You've uncovered incredible potential for the future of artificial intelligence in this country!" The entire hall went silent. It wasn't the polite kind of silence, but the stunned kind.

It was coming from all around us. Thistle flinched and Thor swore under his breath. “The win condition has been updated.” My breath caught in my throat. The win condition? Changed? But how could that be? The games had always been the same, ever since they started. The last person left alive was the winner. Simple. Cut and dry. “Senna,” Thor clutched my arm. “I don’t like this.” “The first person to reach and touch the Spire will be declared the victor.”

The coordinator waited again for the crowd to calm down before he continued his speech. " I know you are all eager to know who the winner is. The result I have here shows that the winner won with only one margin." He told the crowd who screamed " We want to know the winner" I was not in for all this crap he was saying, all I know was that I want to go home and I also want to know if I won or if I am going to be a sex slave for two months because I know he will surely want to get his pound of flesh from me.

And, I'm going to try my best to win of course…. Good luck then!". Mia was done with announcing. "Do you think we're going to win this?". Rhett asked.

Anything as long as a party is involved. I can’t wait for the kind of party they’ll throw once they learn about our baby. We decided we would announce to the Pack only after the competition. After I win, of course. Which means, even if I’m destined to fail today, I am ready to fight against fate itself to get that win. I mean, what kind of father would I be if I can’t bring a win home? “Now…” Derrick raised his hands, which gradually silenced the crowd. “As we all know, there are three stages to the competition.

I was triumphant. I won.

We'll see who comes out as the winner in the end. *****************************************
