Death's Game

One hour left.

That's how long I have left before I die. If I had known the stakes were this high I would never had played, but now, it's too late. I'm almost out of time. Now that I think about it, if I had played fair with all my opponents maybe I wouldn't have gotten into this mess. But it's too late now, I'm a dead man walking, even now I can feel him approaching.

He's so close now.

I'm sorry I got off track, it's not every day you find out when you will die. But I have to ask you, if you did now, when you will die, what would you do? Would you try to prevent or simply enjoy what days you have left? You never really know how far someone will go to stay alive until they are thrown in this sort of situation. The things you do will both terrify you and the people around you.

I know, because for the past month know I've been living on nothing but borrowed time. Time I took from the people around me. It was the wrong thing, I know that but when you're in this situation I will tell you right now you will do the same thing. That I can promise you.

Ok I'm getting ahead of myself again, I should start at the beginning and explain why I'm writing this down. Well, like I said, I'm on a timer and I need to at least tell someone my story, otherwise there is absolutely no point in this. I need someone, no anyone to know my story in case they are in my situation.

You can learn from my mistakes.

You see, I am a gamer. I don't play video games, card games or complex physical activities. No, I am what you call a simple gamer. I seek out any competitive game and play until I win. Like poker, black jack, or even charades. I don't care what it is, if there is a prize or just the satisfaction of being better than somebody, then I will play.

So a month ago while I was at the local bar, me and some of my mates were simply hanging out and looking to pick up some chicks. A usual Friday night for me and the guys. But before we could get busy, I was approached by a woman with short raven hair, and she wore a business suit with a skirt. She was smoking hot, especially with the glasses. She looked at me and smiled, and she raised a finger and gestured me to follow her, so naturally I obeyed.

She led me to a corner of the bar and immediately reached into her pocket and pulled out an envelope. She handed it to me, but before I opened it she stopped me and looked into my eyes. That was the part I started to become afraid, because her eyes had no irises. Her eyes were nothing but pitch black. When she spoke, her tone was a mixture between being threatening and calming.

All she said was, "Do not open this in public, inside this envelope is a location to a place you will find challenging. My employer understands you are fond of games and wants to play the biggest game of your life. If you win, you will receive anything you desire, but if you lose, you will lose everything and everyone you know. The choice is yours if you want to play, of course." And within a instant she was gone, she vanished completely from my senses.

I looked down at the envelope. Her employer wanted to play a game. I love to play games, and she said if I won I would receive whatever I desire. To be honest, I would love to have her forever or maybe all of this guy's money. But then again, why should I listen to her, I told myself. She's just some chick I met, how do I know she doesn't want to mug me or even kill me. Oh who am I kidding, I have nothing to steal and as far as I'm aware nobody wants me dead.

So what should I do? That's what I asked myself as I looked back to my friends, the smiles on there faces. I would give anything to see those smile's again, instead of the rage I see in my nightmares.

I was an idiot that night, I wasn't thinking. If I knew what the game was I would never have listened to that stupid bitch. But I wanted a challenge. So I left the bar without telling my friends goodbye. I walked down the street and into an alley. I slowly opened the envelop and revealed an address.
