Novel & Cerita Voice In My Head Board Game

They need no electrified chair nor any punishment device to have the prey talk. It’s all about a mind game. James lowered his head, slumped to the ground. The weight inside his head was suddenly unbearable. His head felt like it wanted to explode. He shut his eyes, wrinkled tight, to ease the pain that was building up at the back of his head. And then, a sudden fear detonated inside his brain and the loud ring echoed inside his ear.

"The explosion... it was merely a secondary behavioral distraction to clear the target from the board." Suddenly, a terrifyingly familiar, smooth voice crackled clearly through a surviving high-frequency auxiliary speaker mounted near the vaulted ceiling. "You have finally calculated the baseline parameters correctly, King Dimitri." The Chairman. The voice possessed a chilling, digital resonance that bounced off the burning walls. "You have spent months chasing historical ghosts and burning down proxy houses while the actual master game continued to execute on your flank." Lorenzo didn't break his posture, his gray eyes locking onto the hidden audio node. "Step out of the blind sector, you c

It was close enough that every person in the hall accepted it without question. I did not accept it. I said nothing. "Game Three begins in four minutes," the voice crawled continually. "No rest period. The game is called Dead Weight. Each player will be assigned a partner by the system. If your partner dies during the game, you lose two lives. If you cut the chain yourself, you will be executed immediately… No exceptions." The screens on every wall lit up simultaneously. A list of names in paired columns scrolled until it stopped. I found my name on the left side.

And the world listened? That's insane. But I had to know for sure. I looked over at the neat little stack of Community Chest cards on the edge of the board. I squinted at them, narrowed my eyes, and focused. Stand up, I thought. Stand upright. All of you. I felt it again. That same dull throb in my head. The cards rose upright, each one lifted from the stack and stood on its own like little soldiers waiting for orders. I gasped, staggering back and collapsing onto the couch, stunned. My legs couldn't hold me up anymore. The room spun a little as I tried to catch my breath.

His breathing in my ear told my body it was go time and to prepare itself even though my brain wanted the opposite in this moment. “Checkmate.” His low and raspy voice whispered in my ear. Oh fuck.

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

“Now, do you want to play?” The tempting voice that is provoking him to dwell into the well that he shouldn’t go into. “Kill them all.” He whispers. Listening around him and finding the source of the voice that he is hearing and currently provoking him into the sane-insanity reality that he could only do and have right now. “What game?” He asks, with the eyes that doesn’t care anymore, but to extract the needed revenge that he desires more than ever and right now. “Do you want to play a game with me, Ramiel?”

“Whatever organ you land on… will be removed.” Once more silence. Except this was deafening. It was heavy, and suffocating. My stomach turned. “And yes,” it added cheerfully, “you might survive. Probably, or not.” Someone vomited, probably from irritation The doll clapped again, ignoring the young man like he was just acting. “Let the games begin!” “The first mini-game is the BLIND TRUST GAME." The floor shifted, pushing us to the sides. A massive chessboard stretched before us.

I whispered under my breath, not sure if I was talking to Corvin, to Jax, to Selene, or to the Game itself. “You want an ending?” I said. “You’ll get one.” The boards creaked in answer. The fog pressed closer. Round three went on.

They must've assumed these arguments make sense because I was silently standing there, making it appear as if I'd been listening, and I knew I wouldn't be able to pretend I hadn't. I put my hands over my ears, but could still detect certain words. I longed to go out of the house but forced myself to remain seated still. "You don't get it!" "I hate this life!" "You children are just a burden I can't abandon!" "I told you to listen to me…" I pressed my hands harder into my ears. Trapped there, with my eyes closed, I could almost see the words as illuminated streaks floating in the air. The noise made me realize that's their only one solution that I could think of: To play a morality game, a ga
