After a 10-minute walk, I finally arrived at the mall that I had left my staff earlier. Fortunately none of it where stolen. I didn't undress myself as I usually would, since I had nothing to change into... it was now late at night, maybe around 23:00PM I thought and checked a digital clock next to me to confirm it.

It was getting darker and although it was summer I can say I could still use an extra something to sleep. I looked all over the store I was in, in hope to find any sort of blanket or something to cover my cold body during the night.

Fortunately I found a red light blanket.
"That should do for noa" i thought as I grabbed it, dragging us both till a mattress, where I didn't plan to move n inch till the next day.

I laid down on the comfortable mattress , covering my body with the blanket.

5, 10, 20 minutes passes and I still couldn't fell asleep, although I was dead tired. Seems like my mind was wide awake, processing everything that had happened today.

'I was basically doing my think as everyday, going to practice...it all started after I came out the restroom. And where the hell could everyone could have gone anyway? How can a whole city disappear within seconds? And what kind of game is that? A girl literally died for choosing the wrong door, Chota but his leg badly, the other man got hit by lesser just because his visa expired. As if everything is literal. Who could have organized such a sick game, where the participant literally lose their lives? Does that mean i will have to play games frequently in order not to die from now on? And I'm sure as hell not risking having my visa expiring, although I haven't really figured out how things work' 

I had all these thoughts messing with me and my patience, as I was getting mentally tired and my anxiety started kicking in.

Before I knew I had fallen asleep.

03;00 AM

"Y/N!! Y/N!!!!" you heard a female voice calling your name. It sounded familiar, but you couldn't figure out the voice's owner. "Y/N WHERE ARE YOU??" Now it was a male voice calling you.
"Who are these people and ho the hell do they know my name?' I thought to myself. Then I realized....

"MOM!!! DAD!!!" I screamed back, hoping I'll be heard.

No answer...

I got out of bed and kept shouting.
"MOM, DAD.. I'M HERE!!"

Still no answer...

I started losing it... I fell on my knees and started crying out loud.

*GUUHH*

I wake up, covered in sweat. I touch my face to in confusion, realizing it was all a dream  and I touch something wet instead.

'So I indeed cried..' I thought, sweeping off my sweat and tears with my hands.

Still patting and sweating like crazy, I throw off of me the blanket and grab a bottle of water I had left next to me.

With the bottle of water in my hand I walked all the way out of the store I was sleeping and walked a bit around the building, thinking some fresh air could help.

As I was walking, I reached the top floor and noticed a black heavy door, probably leading to the mall's rooftop.

I tried opening it and surprisingly it wasn't locked. I turned on my small flashlight, lighting up the place slightly, in order not to miss a step.

When I made it to the top of the staircase, I saw an other smaller door, but as I made my way there, I realized that it was already open.

The idea of someone else have had been already there didn't cross my mind at the moment, so I opened the door not thinking about it twice.

I walked out and let the fresh summer breeze, brush my hair back.
Leaning on the rooftop rale, I notice a figure standing on the other side of the rooftop. I squeezed my eyes to see better and as I turned my body towards the figure, I could tell it had noticed me too and with a smooth move it quickly jumped off the rale.

I run towards the spot it had jumped off of and leaned in even more trying to find the figure on the ground dead but instead I saw nothing and none. Only some distant running footsteps could be heard. That made me though, the person must have had some kind of skills on parkour.

I stood there for a moment, breathing the fresh air in and out, not being in the right state of mind to think about what I had just witnessed.

'It must have been a girl...' I thought as I made my way down the stairs and back into the store to try sleeping again.
