Game over:
Slowly, she packed up her belongings. When there were only a few items left to pack into her bags, she sat down on the bed, reflecting on all the things that had happened. The day when the vicious game had begun seemed so long ago. She reminisced about how the innocents had managed a great villain hunting streak for a while. For a few days, they lost the streak. However, they had managed to pick up where they left off and were on their way once more to eradicating all the evil creatures. Yet, despite their efforts, it was all for naught.
Last night, she had tossed and turned in her bed, haunted by strange visions of things to come. In each one, everybody died, whether or not she interfered. Finally, she had awoken, gasping for air and in a cold sweat. She departed from her room in search of a glass of water. When she returned to her room, she noticed a note, hastily scribbled, lying on her bed. She had picked it up and read it.
“It’s too late. You can no longer do anything for them. I suggest you leave.”
The note had been signed by one of the creatures she had thought was supporting the greater good. Now, she knew better. At first, she had thought it was all a hoax and had gone and confronted the person. However, they had proved beyond a reasonable doubt that they could carry out the threat and would. Resigned, she had pleaded with the person not to do this terrible deed but they were unmoved.
Finally, she clasped their hands and said, “I hope this makes you happy. If we should meet again, let us never speak of this or remember this terrible game.”
The person had nodded and told her when they were planning to exact their terrible plan. Snapping back to reality, she smiled sadly, thinking of all the lives that would soon become nonexistent. Then, in the midst of day, she snuck from the building into the world beyond, hoping that time would heal her heart. She didn’t look back.

He smiled. The executioner had been reasoned and dealt with. She would no longer interfere. The remaining players were oblivious of their fates. They had all noted the disappearance of the executioner but believed she had only gone somewhere to compose herself. As darkness drew near, they became more frightened at her disappearance, thinking something had gotten to her. Now, they huddled miserably in the circular room, unsure of what to do.
He strove to dissolve the aura of fear and suspicion. He proposed that her departure was due to all the villains having been removed. With this happy thought, the creatures had a wondrous celebration. In the midst of celebrating, they didn’t notice his departure.
He walked off into the forest, alone. He carried the detonation device as he walked farther and farther from the compound. Once he was far enough away, he pressed the button. An enormous explosion sounded from behind him as the compound exploded with all the creatures, except for himself, inside. He mused that the explosion would probably not be enough to kill them. However, the daylight now settling upon the compound debris would. At least they died never knowing his betrayal.
With a sadistic grin, Christopher stalked off. Victory was his. He had been tried in a game of survival and come out victorious. Whistling, he stalked off into the forests, leaving all traces of his existence in one giant dust heap.
*ellamcumber, Dyl, Pixa, Wind, Susannahmio, and Apricus were all blown up to millions of pieces.
