We Are Dead...
“That was solved amicably,” Draven said with a smile.Leo scoffed, but said nothing. All he had in his mouth were words of insult and whatnot. They had walked a great distance away from the building Lara was in, and in silence. Draven had not said anything for the past hour, and neither did Leo. They both followed their Read more
Watch Out!!!
The monster took a step forward, and then another. They moved backwards, towards the edge of the mountain. Draven looked back; there was no way they could survive that fall, and the monster was big enough to block their exit. It had fur for a skin, stretching far and wide that it could be mistaken for wool. If they cut down the beast and cut down its fur, it sure would make blankets for many seasons to come. The only thing was that the situation was inescapable and they would not be able to cut down the monster.“We have to run,” Leo murmured. “He’s pushing us back and he wants to grab us with his hands.”Draven looked back again. They were dangerously nearing the edge. He looked back at the monster, at the space between it and the ground. It was so small, so narrow that they could easily get crushed under it.“Not possible,” he said to Leo.Leo nearly cried out in frustration. “Why do these games have such large monsters anyways?"“We’ve gotten small trolls in our last two fights.”“

Big House
He spent two weeks in his house. Two good weeks. Draven didn’t know time could move so slowly until he’d spent a long period of time arranging his properties.The day he discovered his house, there was a mail in the mail box signifying him as the owner. The place was dead empty, and that was when he remembered he’d gotten a few properties, like chairs and lights and the rest. Draven spent a great time in the first week putting things in order. He tried as much as he could, but the house still felt empty.It was not that big a house. It was just a comfortable duplex that was supposed to make him feel at home. After all, he now had a roof over his head and a bed to sleep in, unlike the odd days of his life when he wondered what he was going to eat next and where he was going to sleep. He didn’t have lots of food either, but the neighbors have been giving him loads and loads to keep him up till whenever.His right hand neighbor was a family of six. The first day he moved in, they had wat

Cold Room
Draven found himself heading to his neighbor’s door. It was embarrassing, but dying of hunger after surviving the game would be a disgrace. He squeezed his eyes shut and knocked on the door. He didn’t want to think about the game or anything else except food. The cold in his room tonight would be paramount because there were no Read more
Odd Name
Draven woke up slowly, glancing briefly at the clock in his bedroom. His room had gotten warmer over the next few days that followed. It all started with another neighbor knocking on his door, asking him if he needed anything. Draven was freezing. His teeth chattered against each other as he murmured the word:“Curtains.”“Oh dear,” the older woman said. “I think I have a few spares in me. It is horrendously hard to find good quality on the market nowadays, isn’t it?”Draven had no answer to that. He didn’t expect her to take him seriously, and if she did, he expected that she would bring her worn out, old curtains. That was not the case. She brought him a brand new set of curtains the next hour, complaining about how old she had gotten and how she couldn’t locate them fast enough.When he took it from her hand, he stared at it for long, long moments. Drave never expected in his wildest dreams that he would be in a neighborhood where everyone was trying to impress one another.“I can’

Jobless
He realized soon enough that Gems was a beautiful woman, in the all-American way. When she closed the door and the light fell on her face, he saw her blonde hair. With the light behind her and the dark street, he had not been able to see what color it was earlier. Now that they were inside, he saw that it was an incredible color and it suited her face perfectly. He didn’t remember Elizabeth having such a vibrant color.“It’s bleached,” Gems said, breaking the spell. “The hair is bleached. I see the way you’re looking at it, like a lost puppy.”His eyes moved to hers and he saw that her eyes were laughing, almost mocking him. He smiled tentatively, not sure how to reply to her. He imagined that she would have gotten lots of compliments on her hair alone, and that she would have spent a lot of money on it.“Don’t tell people that your hair is fake!” Elizabeth yelled.From the direction of the sound, Draven guessed that it was their dining. It should be, considering that this was dinner

Judgy Glances
Draven found himself in a bar the next morning. He was in pajamas and was receiving judgy glances from others as he walked past. He didn’t blame them. He was in a reputable community and was walking to a bar in his pajamas. Also, he honestly didn’t care. He felt like this was the last day he would truly be happy, so he just wanted a shot of alcohol. Draven had no idea how he was going to pay for it, but he needed it desperately. He was going through a lot and that drink was just what he needed. A pajama was not the appropriate attire and it would send the wrong message, but he honestly had no more clothes and he just wanted a shot! Besides, people who are willing to drink in the morning should not judge him.As he walked into a bar, there was thankfully no signal that anyone saw him. It was the first bar he saw on the streets, and it was even farther from his house. He imagined his neighbors were too high and classy to go to such places and drink; which was why Gems was being unnecess

Run
Draven heaved a huge sigh. The bartender pushed the shots to them and he downed his immediately, like he was depressed. He wasn’t disappointed in Leo, not exactly at least. He was even surprised to see him out of the game but that didn’t mean Leo wouldn't want to go back. He, on the other hand, didn't know what he wanted. Did he want to go back into the game and fight heavily for his life and money? This was his first death and he was already depressed about his other deaths. Having two lives was just… it was just depressing. It made you think anxiously about the two remaining lives. It made it more real, more precious. Draven had been taking this game on like an adventure—which it was, for sure. But that was the thing with people who had three lives. They were reckless, happy, eager to get to the top while eluding danger. Draven was not any different from them. He thought that with his big, monstrous sword, he would be able to successfully get out of danger. For the second time eve
