Death Game
#WritcoStoryPrompt20
Escape room challenge:
You have only two choices, either save yourself via the overhead duct or lift up your injured friend and send him through instead.
And you're running out of time...

Tiger- Hey pal!! you are injured we have to get out of here at least we must survive this calamity made out of the burning flame but you will go first because of your condition.
Pal- No!!! I'm already a half body you can see {in discomfort} my leg is burnt i can't walk.
Tiger- C'mon {rants} don't tell me that, we must sail through together ain't leaving you alone.
Pal-{spirit broken}just take my files and give this to my wife and daughter I can't leave with this it will be too late unless you want to burn with me but I won't take that.
Tiger-{sighs, breaks the overhead duct}
Hey man!!! I understand, you already see thyself as a dead man but to me, when there is still life you can still make it" we don't die doing nothing we die while trying and that is best".

{booom boom!!! fire blasts up almost caught my shirt, Pal pushed me away about to crawl into the burning flame but luckily I was stronger to pull him back}

Tiger- Pal come here , now look and listen to me no, more stories or words like you ain't gonna make it I think it is high time I showed you what I'm capable off.

{I carried and lifted him on my back like a mother backing her baby}

Pal- Wait ,what? {discombobulated tone}
tell me !!! what are you? with so much strength?
Tiger- Don't worry I will let you know my true identity once we survive this ferocious flame.

{I threw him from my head as if I had throw a flat soft plank used for making a blackboard through the duct and fortunately he got on top of the duct which has a safety ladder near it}

Pal- !!!Sighs hey tiger luckily there is a rope here take it and hold it {throws the rope}
Tiger- {held the rope boom!!! fire guts, catching me on my back} Damn {shouts}.
Pal- {disheartened} C'mon man you must make it cause I can't imagine how i will be able to cope when I'm about to fight for help outside especially against those nefarious villains that set fire on our building {cried}.

{I drew the rope down with force slipping through pal's hand which made him mad and confused at the same time , the fire had almost burnt my skin in pal's eyes thinking that would be my end but it is otherwise to me, as am a secret agent working as an undercover for the special force which he didn't knew about it yet}

Tiger-{shouts }just go and survive Pal with you alive, there is still hope,there is a saying by emerson, "a friend is the hope of the heart" wherever you are just don't give up or else I will be disappointed wether I made it alive or not and send my regards to leema tell her not to wait for me.

{I jumped into the fire without hesitation , at least have done my part saving a soul as fulfilling my duty as a soldier , and as a friend}

Pal-(shouts) Nooooo!!! fuck what the hell man, 2x,(cries).

{not longer than 2minutes after I entered burning room, the fire service arrives and put a stopped to the fire and Luckily they found me injured behind the back of the house with part of my back burnt by the flame}

fireman 1- Hey Jimmy!! There is a survivor here, call the emergency line for ambulance.
fireman 2- Copy that!!! hello this is Jimmy, fire service, reporting from a destructive scene there is a survivor injured badly.

{Before both of them could turned back where I sat down, I had strenuously left in a swift mode to avoid my identity being exposed}.

Even though the calamity strikes, what matters here is that Tiger and pal both survived the room challenge.
