Her lifeless-looking body sunk to the floor. I waited, I think all of us waited for her hand, her head, for anything to move. We waited for nothing.
She's dead. Oh God, she's dead. That man killed her, I just witnessed a murder. A dead body sat 20 feet in front of me. I just watched her die. I didn't do anything, I could have done something- but if I had, I would be sitting dead next to her.
A dark red liquid pooled around the girl's head. James scooted his foot away to avoid touching the blood. All of us sat in silence. Although the group was silent ever since the men walked down the stairs, this time was different. As if the thoughts were silent too.
"Get some kids to clean it up. You know what to do with it." The tall man ordered the other one, which now I am thinking is Carlos? He nodded, never meeting the murderer's eyes. Each one of us were scared of him, even his ally. What did he mean by 'you know what to do with it'? Disposing of the body? Oh God. They have done this before. Multiple times. How many kids- how many kids has he dehumanized to 'it'? How many times will he do it again?

Season 3 of Eliona's War
***
When Seth received a new virtual reality video game from his uncle, he wasn't expecting to get swept up into a whole new world called Eliona. As it turned out, Eliona and its people are far more dangerous than Seth could ever have imagined. There is a real consequence to playing this game: it's changing him, and it might not be for the better.
Now that Seth/Severance knows the truth of Eliona, there's no going back. Eliona is dying, and in order to save it, he needs to beat a very difficult dungeon before anyone else does. And on Earth, things are even worse. It's come to light that Eliona is leaving a mark on its players, and suddenly, everyone wants to be involved. Players find themselves with a target on their back, and Seth? He might just have the biggest one of all.
Too bad for them, he's done running.
