I don't know how exaactly i ended here,  or where i am for the matter of fact. I woke up lying on a bed, all alone, in an all white room. Even the clothes i was dressed in were white, and by all means, i wasn't wearing  white in my most recent memories. I looked around, confused, trying to find something.  An exit. A sign. Anything.

I stood there staring at the walls for hours. Or it could have been weeks. Or minutes, for all i know. I had no freaking watch. But all i know is that,  at some point, somebody knocked on the door and opened it

"Oh, you're awake"

"Just as a ray of sun"

I smiled ironically as the guy handed me a letter

It said In attention of Zoe Attkins on the back. Other than that, the white envelope had no embelishments. Dude, these people really do have a thing for white

I ripped a side open and unfolded the letter

Dear Miss Attkins

You have been selected for this year's Bet Games, based on your previous misbehaviors. Including robbing, unprotected sex, escaping prison and vandalizing public property, in the order above.  We will ask you to present to the call in 12 hours, where you will also meet your opponents. May we remind you that while every contestant, but one, will die in the games, the Master will be granted freedom.

Good luck

The Government of Andromeda

I folded the letter back

"Come with me" the guy said

"Where are we going?"

"Just come with me. You'll see soon"

I followed him down a long hallway that led to a small room. White, of course

"This will now read to a series of rooms. You can choose your clothing for the games and also have the right to take some items with you. Follow the directions written on each of the walls. If you attempt taking more than allowed, the respective category of items will be removed and you will no longer be able to posess anything from thaf category. Enjoy your time"

He left through the door behind me and I was left in the room all alone. I tought about the options I had: escaping or just following the path that he gave me and I just realized I had no chance to escape. Even if I did walk back through the door that I came to, there were probably a ton of Force guardians waiting for me out there just waiting to kill me.

I stood in the room a while, before i finally decided to open the door.

I was immediately greeted by a huge wardrobe. It literally had everything: from night gowns to sport stuff, bikinis, jeans, sweaters. And the shoe section was just as various: high heels, flip flops, boots, everything. I was just thinking:  what the hell could anyone do in a gown and high heels in the Games? Yet again, i didn't know where we were going to be put, so what clothing to choose was a problem. Before i touched anything i read the directions on the wall

Two tops, two bottoms. One coat or jacket. One pair of shoes. Not including  underwear. It is permitted to have one pair of glasses of your choice, one scarf and a hat of your choice.

After reading that and looking around for a while, i finally settled for a tshirt with a hoodie over it as my tops, a pair of leggings under one of jeans as my bottoms, a leather jacket, a pair of sunglasses, mountain boots and a scarf.

Trying to carry all of that, i walked into the next room. Luckily, that allowed me to choose a bag. I chose a kaki backpack and stuck all my stuff in it, hoping they'd also allow me to get dressed somewhere.
