This is to help me edit my story and fix things up! Just to clear that up.
Before I describe it, I have a few pointers. One, this is not yet finished. I started working on this book December of 2022. It is only halfway done, so do not expect an ending for the time being. Two, this might get published one day, but I am not so sure. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated before editing. I am a young writer, so some vocab/descriptions could be off, my apologies.
Now onto the description!:
This game happens every few years, the generations of new born children taking the responsibility. 40 people under the age of 25 are selected every new game. They must take the challenge before returning, allowing a final choice. Some people get notified years before, some way after. Typically a fourth back out, and another fourth of the contestants die. But once you are in...
there's no going back.
Filled with many different perspectives, bound to death would be a good read if you're into murder scenarios or gruesome betrayals. Anyhow, please give any necessary feedback, I'll try to update every week.
I woke up in a room I didn't recognize, my fingers tracing the rough fabric of a bedspread that wasn't mine. The air was thick with something unfamiliar, and every small difference in the space set off alarm bells in my head. My heart raced as I scrambled for the door-locked.
Panic clawed at my chest. Then he appeared in the doorway, his smile crooked, his eyes dark with intent.
He spoke no words, but his presence alone screamed danger. Every exit was sealed.
Every attempt to call for help met with eerie dismissals from voices that seemed in on the nightmare. And as he handed me a letter-a love note scrawled in childish handwriting-I realized this wasn't just a kidnapping. It was something far worse.
I don't know who he is. I don't know what he wants. But I do know one thing: I need to escape before it's too late.
