I hear a loud bang on the side of the window. I look toward the sound

A loud shriek

Like it passed from the top to the bottom of the building. I carefully get up. To place me next to the window. One. Step. After. An-other...

Right before my eyes I see someone falling from the building.
I suck in my breath.
Put my hand in front of my mouth.
My eyes not blinking.
Wanting to stop the time

I look down and see at the base of the hotel. Dozens of bodies, lying in a pool of blood. I cannot hear anything, the sound of my beating heart resonating in my ears like a ticking bomb

Louder and louder and LOUDER!

I wake up with a jolt. Sweat dripping from every corner of my skin. Air entering urgently my lungs. I look around and see the sun is out. I sigh and put my head in my hands. 'It was just a nightmare Ameya. You're fine. Just another stupid nightmare. It's alright'

When I'm in the bathroom, I try to turn on the water, but nothing gets out. I raise my eyebrow. 'Oh, no, please. Not this'. I leave my room and check the one next to mine. No water either. 'Great!'. I go back to my room, gather my things and leave the hotel

I remember the supermarket I saw yesterday and decide to go back there. I take a few more cans of food. Some wipes to clean myself. I take a lamp and some batteries

It's a big store, and so I go toward the far back, where some gardening tools are. Nothing really will help me, except- There's a tent, with a sleeping bag that exceeds it. I slowly approach it

I take a look inside but nothing. It seems like someone once used it but left it abando- That person probably died, leaving his camp to no use. 'Guess I found my staying place then'

It's my third night in Borderland, the second since the game. I still have two more nights before my visa expires. But I need answers. And waiting like this is useless

So I make myself something to eat, it's not really good but it'll do it. It's just for strength. I set my bag down on the side with my camera

I won't need it

I take out my butterfly knife and put it in my back pocket. I get up, walk out of the store, and look around for a game arena. Not too far from me, I see lights, multicolor lights and decide to go that way

The walk there is not really far, so I quickly arrive in front of the game playground. I laugh when I see it.

'This game takes place in an amusement park, really', I shake my head and walk in

A few other people are already there. Which answers the "I am the only one left here with the mystery white jacket heartless smarty man" question

I take a phone and it does the facial recognition, and on the top I see the four of hearts card

I nod and place myself on the side to observe with who am I going to compete with

Two lovebirds are stuck to each other, they look terrified

A bald man, with a costume, looks like he knows what he is in for

A middle age woman

A tall and muscular man with a tank top, I hope I won't have to fight him

And at the opposite side of me- He's already looking at me with a smirk, hand in pocket. Mystery white jacket man. He takes out one of his hands and waves at me. I return the greeting out of awkwardness

I walk to the entrance of the park and look out to see if there is anything useful I can use

I see a stand of games, a cotton candy stand, a fairy wheel, a carousel, and- a pellet rifle stand. I smirk. This game might not be too hard
