The Adaptive Game

"ONE IN THE CHAMBER"

- Shaun

The challenges always get harder. I need to be prepared for it earlier, and as best I can prepare. I have to get to the end at this point. I've gone too far to stop now.

Eddie had it coming. I had to start bringing down competition, or else he would be able to turn on ME later.

Self-preservation is also sacrificing other people. I made the right choice.

I made the right choice.

Yes, I did.

"Please sit down at the tables with your group. From here on you are not allowed to get up."Walking over to our table, I spot a revolver on the table. I immediately get to the table, find a seat, and place my hands over the revolver, reserving it.

"The fourth game will be Russian Roulette. Three bullets will be placed on the table. You must use all 3 bullets to leave the table."

The revolver is already in my hands. I'm going first.

"Oh fuck."

"There is a random chance that the bullet will be in the chamber you pull the trigger on. The chance will get higher every time the revolver is passed onto someone else. You may respin, but an additional bullet must be put adjacent to the first. You may NOT use the revolver on someone else. All shots must be done above the shoulder or they WILL NOT COUNT."

"Okay... Okay let's begin."

The guard puts 3 bullets on the table. I grab the closest one to me. A .357 Magnum bullet. More than capable of blowing your face off.

Sliding the bullet into the chamber, it fits firmly and then I spin the cylinder.

"Okay, no stopping now."

Pointing the revolver to my head, I bring my finger closer to the trigger and come close to pressing it.

This is it. I'm dead. By pure chance. One in the chamber.
