Trent's P.O.V

Prologue-

Dear Journal,

Ha. The boat should arrive today.

I'm starting something new this time... I've been hosting these games so many times, and my cover hasn't been blown yet. Thank goodness. I'd be arrested for sure.

They got so close last time. I almost got arrested. That stupid boy, Roger, almost told me off. It's Ok now though. I'm up and running again. Maybe I should explain. I've been hosting the games, as I said, for a while now. I don't have any specific name for them... Just "The Games" is enough for me. The point of them WAS to not get eliminated. The last one not to be eliminated got $10,000. You also had to make it through the "game" I assign. That's probably the biggest catch.

I'm sticking with the "Diary Effect" again, though. One person who I predict is going to die first (and, by the way, those predictions are USUALLY correct,) are given a diary just like this one at the beginning, to... You know... Record their thoughts. When they got eliminated, the diary gets hung on "The Wall" for a couple hours. Everyone gets to see what they wrote. Then it gets passed on to another contestant. My goodness, that worked well.

"The Wall" will be taken away, but the "Diary Effect" can stay until it gets down to the final 15 or so. Because by then it won't be as much fun. I'm also upping the prize. $1,000,000 this time.

Anyway, after my close call last time, I'm changing things up, as I said before. This will be fun.

So much fun.

So let's recap.

I'm Trent Buckley. I host these wonderful games. And this time, the point of the games... Is to survive.

Please vote, comment, etc... And hopefully I'll get some more chapters up soon. I really hope you guys like this, and I really hope to write more soon.

Please vote for which P.O.V you want to hear next (out of the names above)! Also, just a note, this is NOT like the Hunger Games, even though it sounds like it. Keep reading, I'm sure you'll be surprised.
