The Front Man watched you from the cameras as you struggled to jog to the finish line, only 2 minutes left and your halfway there. Sweat poured down your forehead as you watched other people cross the finish line, it was hard to not move when the giant doll glared at you and the remaining contestants.

You stopped moving when it shouted 'Red light!' You froze and closed your eyes out of fear, after a gunshot or two the doll shouted "Green Light!" As its head turned towards the tree behind it. You jogged a couple more feet as others did too, some running ahead of you. The doll shouted 'Red light!' Again as it's head snapped back to look at the contestants, the man who jogged in front of you lost his balance and tripped. A gunshot could be heard as the mans body was shot.

You were shaking now as blood poured out of the man's chest while the doll turned its head again and shouted 'green light' once more, you rushed ahead and stopped when its head glared over the contestants again.

The Front man took a sip of whiskey and smirked as you took the big risk of running ahead, he liked that about you. Taking big chances wasn't like you before, you always seemed to take things slow and wait it out but not now. You were playing with your life as he watched from the screen of bodies dropping around you as your face contorted in horror was making his day, probably one of the best things he's seen from working in the games. You were one of the few he genuinely liked.

Every since the day you met him, ever since your job with him, you have always interested him. Seeing your face surprised him with sadness and hope, maybe you would survive the games and become rich and even be his 'partner in crime'. But here you are jogging ahead of other poor people while a giant robotic doll calls out 'red light, green light'.

Your face dripped in sweat as the timer ticked down to a minute, your body trembled as a couple players were shot. You could see a old man next to you walk so casually and calm that it almost disturbs you, you hurry up and stop as the doll yells "Red Light!" Its eyes scanning the field of sand before turning its head to shout green light.

You race to the finish line as the timer showed twenty seconds, but your feet fumble and you land against the sand with a groan. The Front man raises himself in his chair as the television screen showed you falling down, he immediately wanted to call off the game to have you survive but as you push yourself up the doll calls out red light.

You stood like a deer in headlights when you hear those two simple words, its head eventually turned around as you raced over the finishing line when the timer struck to ten seconds. You panted heavily as you sat on your knees as the Front man watched with a small smile on his face seeing that your survived the first game.

He wanted to see more of you and your risk tacking actions, the faces of terror and fright had him wishing you were standing beside him. Watching your face was a blessing for him, he hadn't spoken to you in a long time and he desired to have a simple conversation with you for once.

"We're..we're safe right?" You asked one of the guard with a frightened expression as the guard turned his head toward you. "For now" the guard responded before idly standing again. You swallowed down the lump in your throat as the sky seem to darken.  Your eyes traveled to the sky and see the roof close together, the sound of machinery. You sigh and lay on top of the sand.
