The Game

Breakfast

Grace didn't get much sleep last night.The image of Ben's lifeless body laying on the floor in a pool of his own blood was haunting her dreams. What kin of sick twisted game i this? she thought. She rolled over and tried to fall asleep, but she just couldn't, and she was scared to get up, so she simply laid there, in her bed, all night. 

The next morning, there was a sharp knock on the door of the girls dormitoriy. Grace could tell that no one else had slept, because everyone got up right away. they had all slept in their outfits, so they shuffled out the door one after the other, as the guys did the same from across the hall. The followed the man who had knocked on their doors, a new man who was short with beady eyes and wrinkles on every part of his body. He kept wringing his hands and glancing around like he expected us to try to kill him. He started walking away and we all followed, with each of us knit into a tight bunch, following this man. 

When this man stopped walking, we were back in the dining hall. On the table was a grey mush that didn't really have a shape. The kids all sat down next to the three men in black who were already at the table. The men all stood up, looked at the ceiling, then screamed a scream at a high pitch frequency that should not have ever been able to come out of a grown man's mouth. The kids all covered their ears, but the scream penetrated through their tightly closed hands. The men screamed for ten seconds then stopped dead. The scream echoed off of the room then there was complete silence. 

They all sat down and began to devour the food. The kids did not so easily deide that it was safe to eat, and so no one ate. Once the men had finished eating, they stood up and left. The grey clumps of food started to move once the men left. It crept towards the childrens' mouths, and forced itself inside. Grace tried as hard as she could to resist, but the gook forced itself into her mouth. It had no texture at all, and was almost like eating air, but as soon as she swallowed a bit, she was full. It had the same effect on everyone else as well.
