The sound of coughs and cries emerge from the tunnel to our right, showing that the group just got back from training. "All right bitches it's pretty simple!" A high ranked general steps up on an old rusty chair (he must of carried it on the way in given that nothing was in the room before). We all gather around and try our best to ignore the crys from the previous group that recently finished training. "All you have to do capture the flag." The general smiled wickedly looking over the crowd. "Any questions?" He asked not expecting a response. "Good! Your base location and map will be sent to your arm command...What the hell are you still doing here!? GO!!" We all pushed towards the tunnel it wasting a single amount of time.
We ran as one towards the dark tunnel not stoping for anything. "No! Mom! My mom!!! My mom!" A young girl screamed and kick as two guards dragged her out of the tunnel. The sound of someone someone spitting echoed through the air. "Bitch!!" Running feet and heavy breaths filled our ears as we continued to jog on, Nothing was seen through the blackness as we continued to jog wondering what was going on. Pop!Pop! Two bullets flew past us lighting the air for only a second. The sound of the body hit the floor. "I-I killed m-my mom..." Finally I was able to see the girl as we neared. Blood ran out the side of her mouth as she breathed in her last breath. "I-I love you m-mamma..." Her eyes were on me but I felt nothing... Nothing at all.

"10 seconds until doors open."
We all rush to grab any weapon we will need for the session. I grab some rope, nails, a hammer, 10 grenades, tasers, some matches, a music box (you'll figure out why), a knife, two pistols, a crossbow, an A-k 47, and raw meat. The alarm sounds and a gate drops down blocking the wall filled with the weapons. The gate comes alive with low hum indicating 600 volts of electricity was now coursing through the metal gate.
"Your mission will begin now. Please secure your masks."
I take a deep breath and press the button on the right of my black helmet to secure the glass mask infront of my face.
"Good luck." I look to my right to see a tall guy looking forward. He didn't look familiar...was he new? I turn my body to face him, is he really talking to me?! "Do you know who I am?" He looked down at me and chuckled, " Yeah, a soldier like the rest of us. Now face front before you get us both killed, this wasn't meant to be a conversation." He faced front ignoring my presence. I couldn't help but smirk. None of the guys from my squad ever talked to me like that...I'm impressed. I faced front. "Name?" I watched as the metal doors began to rise. "Jacob."
"EXIT NOW!"
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Jacob...
