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
THE FOUR guys who had previously undressed and clothed me began to approach me. When I looked at their hands, I noticed two men carrying shackles and leg irons.I gulped hard as they came to a halt in front of me because I knew what they were about to do to me. “Move your two hands,” the man ordered solemnly while holding the shackle.I gasped and closed my eyes before extending my hand to them. I heard the shackle unlocked before putting it on my hand and closing it, so I opened my eyes and saw that they already strapped my two hands down.I knew I was nearing the end the moment they placed the shackle around my wrist. When I leap into a swimming pool full of individuals who died via the walking on the plank method last year, month, or day, I know I’ll have the same experience as them.I will die.I shook my head when I suddenly remembered something. Even if th
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
“DAD! What is this present you got me? A new car again? You know I can’t use it,” I said to my father as I noticed the newly parked automobile in the garage.I’m not sure how many times I’ll tell Dad that he doesn’t need to give me costly stuff like vehicles, watches, clothes, shoes, or anything else because I’m not a materialistic person.I understand that at my age, my peers would want to be gifted in this manner by their parents, but I am not one of them. I would rather want my parents not to spend money on me to buy luxurious items.I would rather work hard than depend on my parents to provide for my needs. What’s the point of being old and strong if I keep relying on my parents like I’m a spoilt brat who always has to buy toys to be happy?When I heard Dad’s heavy footsteps approaching, I rushed to meet him. I noticed he had just gotten
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
HOW can you determine whether a person is a good friend? Is it when they want you to be happy even if they don’t involve you in their plans because their evil deeds could sway you, or is it when they want you to do things you’ve never tried before?My definition of a good friend is simple: we all have a smile on our faces and we are delighted; there is no conflict and self-envy; there is no disparaging the friend when he turns away, and most importantly, he does not feel excluded from their circle of friends.My concept of a friend is the basic of the basics, so why it is so hard to find? It’s not uncommon among a group of pals; I see a lot of them all like that. But why is mine an error and cannot be found?Others argue that men’s companionship is ideal because it is pure enjoyment with no envy, as opposed to women, who are full of quarrels while being full of themselves, plastic, and self-exalte
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
HEARING the words, "you are the most important thing in our lives." from my father's mouth gave a different tickle to my heart. I always thought to myself that I am not important in my whole life because I was blinded by what I heard from other people’s mouths.I didn’t even think the expensive things they give me are a way in which they indicate they love me, so the expensive gift they give me is worthless because the one they truly love and cherish is none other than me.It was as if I wanted to be swallowed by the earth because I used to think they were giving me gifts for nothing. I don’t even think that the price of what they give me is just low compared to myself, as dad said earlier.Am I undervaluing myself?"All right, dad, we're going to the hospital tomorrow," I told him. Although I don't want to know the result of my test, if that can give peace of mind to papa's mind, I
HOW can you tell that you are lucky with your parent? Is that when you have a loving mother and a reliable father? Or is it a wealthy parent who will buy everything you want, even if it is too expensive as long as they make you happy?Me, I can say I’m lucky with my parents because they always take care of me even if it’s very hard for them to understand me. Not only are they loving, reliable, rich, buying everything I want, but they are the people who are always on my side, even when the world doesn’t like me. My happiness is their happiness even if it hurt them and they want to see their child improve into a better person.“Dad, thank you so much!” I said to him, and I saw he shook his head while smiling.“You’re always welcome, young boy. If you have a problem, just come to daddy! Hahahaha!” he said, so the smile disappeared from my face and was replaced by a frown
