Blood curling screams could be heard at every turn of the game maze you were in, currently playing Hide and Seek. Hiders have keys to hide in rooms and unlock exits with— Seekers have knives to kill atleast one hider. That’s how they pass the game. Just one 30 minute game, but to you— it feels like hours.

You were a hider. You had your blue vest snugly fit on your upper body, giving away which team you were on. That’s why you have been concealed in a vibrant childrens room for the past 10 minutes, just trying to stay there and survive for the other 20 remaining minutes.

That’s when you heard the door of the room creak open, revealing a player on the opposite team. He had his knife loosely clutched in his hand, a red vest on,— and a cross necklace tucked under his jacket, but you still saw it. The necklace seemed familiar, like you have seen other players wear it before. But it’s not like you had time to investigate about it right now, you were quite literally about to get killed.

But.. the player’s steps were sluggish and lazy. He had eyebags under his eyes. They were prominent. Maybe— maybe he was at a disadvantage. He didn’t look completely there.

“Excuse me.. have you seen Se-mi? She’s.. She’s tall.. with short hair..” He mumbled, seemingly worried for the girl mentioned. He wasn’t attacking you, but still inching his way forward.
