Every 20 years in the city of Redlyn 20 people are chosen to compete in the Murder Games. It's said to be an honour. A test of your wit and skill. Everyone is given a different roll.
The Judge, the only one not to fear, choosing who will be voted out.
Chlorine, half fish, half human.
Survivors, fearing for their lives.
The twins, each others fate lying in their hands.
The psychic, born with the skill to feel pain.
The investigator, the bumbling bundle of the game.
The muffin man, always in the kitchen.
The medic, trying to save all the lives she can.
And of course the murderer, trying not to get caught.
Together these 19 will fight against the 1. But don't get too close, for those you think are innocent, can be killing them all.

I lost everything before I even knew how to live. Orphaned, cast into the care of relatives who never wanted me, I learned early that the world doesn't notice when you disappear.
To everyone around me, I am quiet, polite, fragile. I stay in the corners. I smile when I must. People say I'm sweet, obedient, unassuming - perhaps they are right. Perhaps they don't see the ways I watch, the choices I make in silence.
I move carefully. I observe. I wait. Some doors, once opened, are better left undiscovered.
They called me a tragedy. Perhaps they were right - or perhaps they never truly understood.
