Sixteen ultimate students are taken captive and placed in an underground bunker, forced to kill each other if they want to escape. Most killing games end with a paragon of hope uniting the students against their captor. But this one is a little different. Eden Kawinski, the Ultimate Screenwriter, is no paragon of hope. He has no delusions of escaping the bunker, and knows the only way to survive is to play the game: Avoid scrutiny, fly under the radar, and make sure someone else becomes the next victim. But after Eden discovers something he was never meant to find out, he's forced to work for the mastermind to stay alive. Now caught between his anger at the people who kidnapped him and the mastermind's watchful eye, will Eden be able to end the killing game from within? Or is every move he makes simply playing right into their hands? . Prologue is being rewritten. Cover art by louzivqx
