Chapter 5: new game||

Song: Pity party-melanie Martinez

Visa days: 2 days

I woke up, actually feeling pretty well rested. The sun is shining. I hope I haven't slept for too long. I get up. I'm still wearing the clothes I wore yesterday. I change into a pair of sweatpants and a light blue tank top.

I walk into the living room. I look out the window for a second to see if I can figure out what the time is. The sun is closer to the west which means that the time is past noon.

I go into the kitchen. It's not much good food left, but I guess I'll find something. I find a can of tuna, but I ain't eating that.

I continue to search through the drawers and I actually find a pack of crackers and some granola bars. I eat them and drink a bit of the water I got yesterday. I quickly get ready and leave for the mall.

But I'm not sure if I can bear to walk twenty minutes to the mall. It's way too boring. I know that our neighbor has a pretty nice bike so I decide to break into their garage.

I use a crowbar to break open the lock to the garage. It takes quite a bit of effort but when I get it done it'll be so much easier to get to different places. Suddenly I hear a bang and I guess that means that the garage door is open now.

I try to drag it up and surprisingly it does. And there in the middle of the garage a black bike is standing. I go to it and it's actually the perfect size. I carry it out of the garage. I start biking towards the mall and the twenty minute walk only takes like seven minutes with the bike.

When I reach the mall I park my bike outside the entrance. I go inside and start walking toward the grocery store. When I get to the checkout I take two plastic bags with me in my pockets.

I run through the vegetables and fruit section and meat section. They smell pretty disgusting. In the soup section I grab a lot of bags. They never get bad, do they? I also grab a lot of canned foods, granola bars and crackers. I also take with me plenty of water bottles.

I walk right out of the store. It feels really weird to not pay. I go to the camping store. It wasn't really in my plan to go there but I need a backpack. Carrying all these water bottles is killing my hands.

I get to the backpack section and I pick a big, navy blue one. I put my grocery bags into it. I've never carried such a heavy backpack before, but I'll manage.

After that I go to the clothing store. I walk through the dark hallways of the mall. I suddenly hear a sound behind me. I quickly stop. I can feel my heart beating faster. I slowly turn around. I was expecting a killer or something, but the sight I'm meet with isn't scary at all.

A few feet away from me, a small white rabbit I standing. It's completely white, almost like snow except from one spot on the ear. There it's a little bit black. It almost looks like someone has spilled black paint right there.

Whenever I've seen a rabbit before they have ran away the second I looked at them, but this rabbit stays here. The rabbit only looks at me. It tilts its head before it eats some grass and then it jumps away.

I guess animals have become less scared of humans. Sooner or later people will start killing these animals and I think I'm going to as well, but they're just so cute.

I also found surprisingly lot of comfort in the rabbit. The loneliness is becoming more and more unbearable, so the see some other living creature gave me a lot of comfort.

I continue to walk down the hallway. I get to my favorite clothing store. I need to find some clothes that are cute, comfy and practical. I search through the racks. Actually I find a really cute set. It's a pair of navy blue vintage Nike track pants with a matching zip jacket. I put the clothes in the backpack and continue the search.

I end up taking a few different tank tops, a pair of loose athletic pants, a pair of sweatpants and a zip hoodie. When I'm happy with what I have picked I leave.

I find my bike parked at the exact same location I put it. I play some music at my cassette player and start biking home. I doubt it's not too long until the games are starting so when I get home I eat some food and start getting ready for the games.

I eat some crackers and some granola bars. I decide to wear a dark blue tank top and some black sweatpants. I don't even think about taking with me a jacket since it's hot today.

I take with me my hair tie since I have kinda long hair and it's hella annoying sometimes. I've always liked my hair, but when I have it down I found it super annoying sometimes. Even though it's annoying sometimes I still love it and I'll never cut it.

I get outside and start looking around. Where's the light? I actually see two different spots. I don't know where any of them is. I think they're both as far away so I choose the one to the left.

I start my bike ride to the arena. It's completely dark outside now. Why couldn't the games take place in the day? It wouldn't have been as scary. Maybe that's the point.

After the about ten minute bike ride I get to the arena. It's the amusement park or more specifically the funhouse. I see three other players waiting outside.

I lay my bike down on the ground and start walking to the white table. I pick up a phone with a hot pink phone case, cute. I sit down against a wall to a ride. I watch the other players.

It's one man that looks like he works in an office. He glances at everyone else. He's definitely an annoying guy. I can just feel it. Then there's a guy about my age. He has brown hair and he has a birthmark on his neck. There's also a big guy that wears a tank top and military pants. Well he's definitely scary.

Registration closed. Game will now commence.

I straighten my back and get ready to remember all the rules. I try to observe the other players reactions. The guy about my age looks kinda nervous, not scared. The annoying guy looks straight up scared and the military guy looks like he doesn't care. I can't see any reaction in his face.

Game: a killer in the funhouse. Players: 4. Difficulty: four of spades.

Rules: get through the funhouse in the next ten minutes. Be aware, you will be hunted. Good luck!

(A/n: this game was inspired by businessstories. I read their ff and got the idea from their story. We don't have exactly the same rules, but I got the idea form them!)

Since we only have ten minutes, I stand up and head straight for the funhouse. I can hear that the others follow quickly behind.
