Suddenly, I wake up and it's the middle of the night. I move to turn on the light, but I can't. I can't move. I can't even wiggle my toes. I'm paralysed. Then I spot someone. I instinctively try to jump up and yell, but I can't. The person comes out of the shadows. It's Mars. There's the other careers behind him, Bruce, Em, Titus, Evangeline, and... me? I'm the last to emerge but I go next to Mars. They're approaching me, knives out. They know I can't move. They know I'm defenceless. I'm easy prey, it's part of the game. We all just want to win. But then someone opens the door,
"Bri?" May! She'll save me, she'll get me out here. But then we turn towards her, this version of me and the careers. I want to yell to her, to run. Get out whilst she can. But then "I" throw my knife, and it hits May square in the neck. I feel myself tear up, but I can't scream. I can't run to her, hold her. I'm forced to lie here, watching her die. Then I hear my parents calling me and May to dinner. Run, I try to tell them, Run, now! But I can't do anything. The group goes through the door, and screams echo through the apartment, and I can hear them dying. I can hear everything. My family are being murdered right outside the door and I can do nothing. Then Wenda crawls out from under the bed,
"Bri? Oh Bri, I missed you!" She goes to hug me, but is stopped by an arrow in her chest, as she falls to the ground. Evangeline steps through the door, with everyone else, led by me. I approach myself with a bloody knife, before reaching the edge of the bed, raising the knife above me. I see the murderous look in my eyes. This is the me I've been avoiding. Dreading. I have a smirk on my face, and I start to bring the knife down when I fall back to sleep.
