Test Day

May 17th, 2013 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

Test day had arrived. Paul entered the arena with overwhelming trepidation. Failure today would mean death.

The arena was smaller than on television. And the stench of blood and burning flesh threatened to suffocate him. No matter how much training they’d given him, nothing had prepared him for that.

In the end, Paul passed his test, the lone survivor among his 99 classmates. He didn’t like being a stooge for the network–murder should be a choice, not something forced upon you–but at least he was still alive.

In any case, he looked forward to graduating to middle school.
