My screams are drowned out by the executing of another cube. "Stop it all," I can say, but nothing will stop this monster. I already stand out because of this glow effect glitch. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS, YOU MONSTER?" The creature bounds towards me, rifle in one hand. The only thing I can do now is stare at their creation, staring at me with its emotionless eyes, trained to eliminate all the glitching cubes.

"Heh," I thought. Most cubes would say their goodbyes to everyone they love in this situation. Not me. My parents were arrested when I was 3 due to hacking accusations. My siblings don't exist. And everyone who I thought could be my friend turned out to hate me. I should have ended my life a long time ago.

That's when I remember the pocketknife in my jacket. (A/N: Please don't ask me how cubes can wear jackets.) I bought it a long time ago back when I was confused about everything, thinking I would need it. All of us were currently hanging from a rope tied to our arm. If I cut off my arm, I could escape this bloody mess, risking a more painful death. So I did it.

        And I didn't even feel anything, as if I was invincible. I felt like I was dying, but there was no pain, as if it all magically disappeared. I made a run for it, but started to pass out. Half way through the city, I realized I wouldn't make it. I would die. So I glanced at the knife for one second, and suicided.

        "So that's how you enter the official levels. Any questions?" "When are we going to learn about the best cubes like Sunix and TrusTa?" This is why I hate my job. "We will be going over that subject in 30 minutes. For now, we are taking a break." I hear all the happy yells of children (A/N: Or in this case, mini cubes.), but for some reason I'm happy too. Usually I'm just relieved that the madness is over, this is not like me at all. I head over to the break room and sit down for some hot chocolate.
       
        "How are the kids, Amy?" "Fine, not as rowdy as yesterday." Yesterday was a disaster. Some problems were food fights, bullies, useless questions, and that was only a few of them. Thinking of them just makes me shiver. That's when I realize I was holding the hot chocolate in air while everyone was staring at me. "Can you please look away now?" Everyone continued doing whatever they were doing. I just went over to the bookshelf and picked up a book named "Altitudinem Gamva" (A/N: This is why I ❤️ theshinyglaceon 's stories ^-^). I'm about halfway through Chapter 9 when my timer notifies me that it's time for another round of torture. "Goodbye," I say, but nobody cares. Oh well.

        At least it's not as bad as the guy who killed himself on the street...

        So 506-word prologue! Idk what to put here, so have a lamp reveal:
