The test

Shawn was in a room. The room was filled with so many people. Shawn does not like this many people. But Shawn is not the monster this time. No, Shawn is the survivor. This test was vital to the rest of their lives.

In a more literal way than they realized.

Chloe was the power-hungry one.

Chloe questioned the teacher, trying to get some answers, or to cheat. Chloe was reduced to a bloodstain before anyone could even blink, and by the next second the mess was gone. Not even the desk remained.

Silence reigned control, like a blanket of death.

Even the desk was gone.

Someone dropped their pencil, and then their head dropped.

Then they were gone too. This was truly a test for their lifeline.

Shawn got back to work. If Shawn did not manage to finish the test on time, then it was clear what would happen.

Nothing good.

Something red infiltrated the side of his vision, like water, but warm and on his eyeball.

Shawn knew that was someone’s blood, and just hoped it was not his.

Ten minutes left

Shawn had witnessed numbers of other students dwindle to a mere fifty. Only twenty could get into the school, and Shawn thought he knew what happened to the rest.

They died.

Faster than light travelled.

Five minutes left

Shawn mentally sighed in relief as he finally put his pencil down, having finished the test a mere 5 minutes before the end.

The teacher was right in front of him and looked strange, but everything was a bit blurry from the stress.

He should stay seated and have a rest.

Only the most successful and dedicated could enter the school.

Even the janitor was dedicated.

Because it loved the meat that it got as a good reward.

And the students love meeting new people
