GAME OF EXITS CHAPTER 14: SURVIVAL INSTINCTS
10: 39 am
Ryan slowly opens his eyes. The coldness of the dusty floor presses against his cheek. His blurry vision catches a vague figure of a small person standing meters away from him. At once, memories of his ordeal surge into his brain, telling him that his struggle is not yet over, and he has to get up as soon as possible. He unsteadily presses his hands against the floor, attempting to pull himself up. Soon enough, Ryan is able to sit on the floor while leaning against the wall near the door.
Unwilling to take risks, Ryan instantly creates five large glass nails in front of him, hovering and pointed at Liezel. At once, he sends them flying straight to her. Having seen the threat, Liezel quickly sends her smoke ring in front of her, easily swallowing the glass nails passing through it. Without warning, Liezel rushes toward Ryan, both of her arms oozing green smoke through their pores.
Startled, Ryan quickly encloses himself in a large glass prism. Liezel continues running and slows down as she approaches the glass shield. Liezel stares at Ryan who is still slumped on the floor and smiles victoriously as she looks up at her yellow smoke ring inside Ryan’s prism, hovering near a corner. Without delay, the smoke ring turns blue and five oversized glass nails dart toward Ryan, striking his head and torso. Right away, thick blood gushes and spurts out of Ryan’s impaled body….
Ryan screams out of his nightmare, so terrified that he forces himself to stand up as quickly as possible. With his pierced hip and torso, however, all he can do is slump on the floor and lean against the wall. He breathes heavily as he sees Liezel across the room, standing silently. Ryan wastes no time to enclose himself in a large glass prism. His nightmare makes him check frantically whether Liezel’s smoke ring managed to sneak inside his defense. He exhales, relieved, upon seeing that the yellow smoke ring is hovering near the ceiling above Liezel’s head.
“No. This is not… the end for me,” Ryan mumbles. “I… will… go home….” Ryan glowers at Liezel, fed up and enraged. Glass spikes suddenly emerge on the north, east and west walls. Larger spikes materialize and saturate the ceiling. Unsatisfied, Ryan creates glass spikes on the floor outside Liezel’s red circle. “Now… don’t tell me you can dodge all of them using your pathetic hula-hoop….”
10:45 am
“Let’s go,” John Paul says. His left hand is still covering the wound in his right arm. “I’m rank 12. Almost at the bottom. We’d better go.”
“Are you serious?” Kriz...
