Hope you find somewhere safe for
your baggage.
— Free Now, Gracie AbramsNo one really knows how Panic began. It was mostly just collectively agreed upon that it was started by some seniors who graduated many years ago, for the same reason why it's still played today: because they needed the money.
There was nothing really special about Carp. A small town in Texas with an even smaller population, where everyone knows everyone and everything that goes on within its borders. Or, mostly everything.
Panic was the one thing that was kept secret amongst the high schoolers. Only graduating seniors were eligible to play, but very few actually did. Everyone was required to pay, a dollar a day, for every day school was in session, even if you weren't playing, and by the time summer rolled around, there was a pretty large pot. How did one win said pot? Easy.
Seven challenges, all spread out throughout the course of the summer. It always started with the Jump, and ended with Roulette or Joust, but only one person ever won. Panic was meant to push you to your limits, physically, mentally, emotionally, in any way, shape, and form.
Ellie Russo told herself she wouldn't play. It was dumb, it was risky, and if the cops got her, she'd be looking at juvenile. That is, until she's told the truth about her family and her father's poor financial situation, and she's left with no choice.
It's then where she realizes just why so many wanted to play. The desperation for money. The thrill of the game. People might've had different reasons, but they all wanted the same thing, and knew the most important thing about it:
The game isn't meant to kill you, and it won't, as long as you don't panic.
