I role over onto my side and look at 067 who was facing the ceiling panting. I phew and more people ran over and it was the end of the game. The people who didn't make it over in time got shot as well.

I look around and 001 and 199 made it over as well.

A guard helps me up and I wipe some of the blood off my cheek and we walk back the room. Then there was a massive board that has the number 456 on it. Then the numbers started going down and it went down to 298.

Then the guards come in and a women starts crying.

"Please let us go! I haven't named my child yet! I wanna leave! Please let us leave!!"

More people start crying and I look at them wide eyed.

"Would you still wanna leave if we showed you how much money you would win?"

Then everyone goes quiet and a massive piggy bang comes down fron the ceiling.

Then it started filling up with shit loads of money and my eyes widened.

Once it was filled almost to the brim we looked at the guards.

" Your all in dept. Winning these games would led to the end of that. You can finally walk down the street without people trying to beat you up. You'll be able to pay off all those depts." the first one says then the TV had our pictures on there.

"011!" then it went full screen on me. "You need to pay off your grandmother's hospital bills and your to poor to pay them off. There's about 35 billion yen in there.You even ended up selling your house to pay off some. Yet it just wasnt enough. Your hospital bills are around 10 million yen. Which means you can finally have the happy life she wanted for you. Why would you wanna go back to living in the trash cans behind flats?"

"HEY UNCALLED FOR!!" I shout then they call out more people.

"If you all want to go back to your dept filled lives fine. But why would you want to give up the chance to live happily again?" then more people come out holding two buttons.

"We will have a vote. The red button is to end the game. And the green is to continue. Whoever has more votes will determine your futures. We will go from 456 to 001."

We all turn to 456 who looks nervous.

He walks towards the front cautiously, trying to ignore our stares. He stands at the front and looks at the buttons for a few seconds before he pressed to leave.

More people vote and the score is a draw and people are staying dead silent. Being scared for their futures. I was calm though. I've been taught to hide our fear otherwise we'll seem weak. And in this place. A sign of weakness means death.

067 chooses to stay and I watch as we walks back down and walks into her line. She turns to me and I smile and wave at her. She roles her eyes and looks away. I sigh and stand next to her and nudge her gently.

"You okay?" I ask.

She shrugs and we look at the next person who voted to leave.
