"Congratulations! You have been chosen to participate in this year's annual Death Games.

"We have only one rule.

"Only one survivor."

~

Ten.

My heart pounded in my chest as I ran.

Nine.

Searching the ground for anything useful, I dodged the hand that reached out to capture me.

Eight.

Five.

Moving slowly away from the footsteps, I try to get my breathing under control.

Four.

Heart in my throat, and the sound of my blood pulsing in my ears.

Three.

The person paused before the aisle I was hiding in.

Two.

I turned my head to see why the other paused, and my heart stopped.

One.

Hurriedly scrambling away, my pursuant gave chase, and I grabbed the only available thing near me.

Zero.
