EXCERPT:

 "You should stop cheating, love. It's a bad habit."

The woman goes to defend herself, but realises that I'm meant to be in a cell, not discussing her cheating habits. I throw the closest object at them - which happened to be a mop - and punch one of the men in the stomach.

He goes down instantly, writhing in discomfort. The woman swings at me with a knife, but I grab her arm and twist it. I catch the blade as it falls out of her hand and slice her throat. She clutches at it to stop the crimson from seeping out of the wound. The cards in the woman's sleeve crash to the floor, and soon after, she follows.

As the final guy turns to run out of the room, I throw the knife into the side of his neck. Smirking when I see blood oozing out, I pick it up and pad towards the guy lying on the ground.

"Please. No! Don't-"

I can't risk it.

I slit his throat and wait until I hear him gurgling.
