inside the classroon looked just like normal except dirtier and rundown. it was the people in the classroom that shocked and terrified us, they were all dead yet undead. there at the front of the room was Mr. Maguarey, his skin rotting and his empty eyesockets leaking yellow pus. his jaw was unhinged and his nose was long gone leaving just a hole. the rest of the class was the same, some people picking maggots out of their ears, but they were all recognizable as being people we knew.

"You're late" said Mr. Maguarey

"Uhh... well... yeah" i managed to stutter before pushing everybody out of the door

"Where are you going?" screamed Mr. Maguarey "The Game has just begun"

well we got the hell out of there. our sore feet padding the pavement and our minds fizzing with horror at what we just saw and never mind the freaking questions that buzzed around inside our heads. what happened? this isn't real, right? what do we do now? we ran and ran and ran terrified that if we stopped they would be there with their empty eye sockets and rotting flesh. it was me who stopped first i just sat on the ground in the middle of the road.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Ekkia screamed at me

"If they wanted us dead we'd be dead by now" i told her rolling a pebble in my palm

'well maybe we're not dead because we're smart" Julia added

"nah that can't be right" i said "We have survived because they or he or she or it doesnt want us dead yet. this is all a sick and twisted game"

"But why?" Sophie questioned looking at all of us

Ryan started laughing hysterically and then evilly.

"You dont get it do you?" he continued to laugh "You still don't remember you still think it was a dream"

"I knew we couldn't trust you" i snarled "But if it wasnt a dream how do you explain the different endings?" 

"Oh that" he giggled "Well we couldn't have it too realistic we had to throw in some insane things in there"

"you're utterly insane" Isabella said staring blankly at ryan

"Well it's been fun but i have to run my masters are waiting for me" and with that he was gone.

i shook my head watching him disappear into the distance. who can we trust? i thought eyeing everybody warily. then i smiled i was enjoying this game of theirs it was fun and challenging. the others looked at me curiously yet nervously as i continued to smile.

"Lets play" i said and stood up. 

i never played fair and i would bet the people we were playing with didn't either so it was time to play dirty. i saw each of these worlds or dimensions what ever they were called as levels and it was like a puzzle game we had to find clues and solve the challenge on each level to get to the next level. we had beaten level one by burning the bodies but like a normal game the levels would get harder until we lost our lives but in this game we lost our lives for real. in the end though a mystery would be solved and i was a very competitive person. i would win this game at any cost.
