Uhh got bored but here’s a short squid game au YAY!!!
People came in, one by one as I held the door. But I felt something was off.
Pound.
“Where’s Pound?” I shakily asked.
“Fireball!” He was on the floor, trying to get up.
…Four, three…
“Pound—!” I tried to grab him. But before I even did, someone had already closed the door.
…Two.
…One.
Everybody was still. So was the atmosphere.
“Fireball…!” He cried my name, it was the loudest thing I can hear, even if his voice was soft.
His eyes that I can see from a distance, with glints of his tears. And gunshots.
“POUND!” I ran to him, pushing the door as if it would open itself.
“Pound—!”
I called his name, over and over.
His sobs were the only thing I could hear aside from everything. If only I could ever open the door for you.
“Pound!”
A gunshot was heard.
The light in his eyes had faded as he slid down to the ground. I could hear it him thud.
I whispered his name.
“No..”
“NO— POUND!”
A name can only be heard, a shout repeating, until it is a sound.
They were too, calling him. But only my voice was louder.
