[9:00 p. m]

Leo sighed as he took out his phone to check the time. He was supposed to be at home by 8:45 but time just doesn't stop for anyone.

"Man, my dad is going to beat me up again," Leo thought to himself.

The silent night slowly got into Leo's nerves. He wondered why it was so quiet, too quiet. He boredly stepped on a water puddle and looked left and right. Not even a car was in sight. Leo frowned and took out his earphones to listen to some music.

[9:15 p.m]

After walking for quite a bit, Leo finally saw another person. A hooded man waved at him and disappeared into an alley. Leo shrugged and thought, "Well, that was an uneventful meeting."

Suddenly, Leo felt as if he was in grave danger. His eyes widened in shock as he saw that a dagger was stabbed into his stomach. He fell heavily on to the ground with a thud. The last thing he saw was the monstrous smile of the hooded man.


...

tRy agAiN , WIll yoU?

[9:00 p.m]

Leo gasped and fell on the ground. His phone fell from his pocket and turned on. The time was 9:00 p.m. Leo was shocked speechless and picked up his phone with trembling hands.

Leo hurriedly searched his contacts and found 'Dad'. He dialed the number and waited , but his hopes were crushed when the other side didn't pick up.

"Sh**! What the hell is happening?! And--- I'm still alive! I gotta get out of here!"

Leo got up cautiously and walked away from the place where he was murdered. He desperately searched for a car or for someone who could help him. Leo didn't dare to shout for help. The murderer might come and stab him again if he heard his voice.

He heard faint footsteps from behind and turned his head to look. The hooded man was waving at him again. Leo froze in his steps as he felt a chill go down his spine. His breathing became heavy and his palms started to sweat in fear. Leo suddenly ran away as fast as he can. The hooded man tilted his head and vanished, instantly reappearing in front of Leo.

Leo bumped into the man and fell onto the ground. He watched in horror as the hooded man grabbed hold of his shoulder and swiftly stabbed him.

[9:00 p.m]

Leo opened his eyes once again. He was in the same street at the same time. He saw the water puddle not too far from him and crouched down as he held his head.

'What am I going to do?'

'No one can help me..'

He checked his phone and sure enough, it was still 9:00 p.m. He recalled his memories--- or previous deaths and realized that he had always died when the time ticked 9:15.

He only has 15 minutes.

15 minutes to get away. 15 minutes to survive.

Leo suddenly thought of a dark idea.

~

The hooded man appeared once again. His seemingly friendly wave signified Leo's incoming demise.

Leo stared at the hooded man as he took out his earphones. The man vanished into an alley and reappeared behind Leo.

'I got you now, bastard!'

Leo swiftly turned around and used his earphones to strangle the man's neck.The hooded man was taken aback and stumbled, falling to the ground.

Leo strangled him tightly until his last breath.

"That---That's what you get!" Leo panted as he moved away. The feeling of killing someone slowly crept on him and almost made him lose his mind, "He killed me.. He killed me twice! Why am I even feeling bad?"

[9:15 p.m]

Suddenly, Leo's vision blurred and he fell on the ground. A pool of blood formed around him as a dagger penetrated through his heart.

"Damn..it..."

Okay, I'm gonna end this here. I'll just make a part 2 of this later. It'll be GOOD.
