KILL OR BE KILLEDMinh Quan Dao Nguyen

CHAPTER 1You wake up, engulf in devastating pain, your body, lying on a hard layer of rock. “GUILTY!” Your eyes burst open. “Who’s there?!” Your eyes gaze the clouds, the dark clouds that covered the entire sky , with tiny drops of rain. As you start to lie up, your hands cover your head as you try to contain the aching pain in your head. “YOU WILL BE SENTENCE TO DEATH AS PUNISHMENTS FOR DESTROYING MARS”. That voice, its familiar, but who is it? The more you think, the more pain you feel, realizing this, you stop. Taking a deep breath, you start to look around. You notice that you are surrounded by debris, of some sort of space ship. Looking around, you try to figure out where you are. Trees surround you and the debris. The swaying sound, the cool air makes you feel good and decide to lay down and relax. A grin forms on your face. You have never felt like this ever, so peaceful, so relaxed, and so happy. “CRACK” A sound fills the air. Birds scatter and fly away. “THOMP, THOMP, THOMP” It’s far away, but its coming. You don’t know what it is but you do know that you are weak, defenseless. What do you do? • Run to the debris and hide behind it? • Stand up and investigate?

CHAPTER 2 (A)You quickly stand and run to the debris, but as you do, you fall down. The pain once again covers your body, and you are unable to move. “THOMP, THOMP, THOMP” You hear it again, this time, closer. Fear overwhelms your body and you are paralyze. But knowing that you might die, you try all you can to drag your body to the debris. Suddenly, a deafening roar quakes the sky, trees fall, birds flee, and the sky, turns angry. Lightning strikes trees nearby, “BOOM, CLASH, BANG” Not only that, the roar of the beast also fills the air. Your entire body froze ,a battle, between mother nature and this giant beast. “What is happening?” You cry out and fearing for your life, you quickly run to the debris, in pain, but you know that it won’t matter. You arrived at the debris and quickly tripped over something. A gun! Then, everything came back to you. You are a Space Traveler, the polices of the universe. You serve under the general and is missioned to protect the universe. But one day, you were sent to the court room. For destroying Mars, you were stripped of all your powers. Furthermore, you were sentence to death for violating space rules. “But why, why you whisper? What did you do” Then, it hits you. You didn’t do anything! You were framed, someone framed you. Enraged, you pick up the gun, stand up, and ready your self for battle. But then, you see nothing, you hear nothing. - Go and Investigate?- Stay Hidden?

CHAPTER 2 (B)As you stood up, you were ready for anything, a battle, between fear and excitement itself. You smirk. This feeling, this sensation, you feel… alive again. Brain pumping, heart racing, you charge in. You heard the sound within the forest, and you walked straight in. Just as you were walking, you accidently kicked something, you react quickly and jump back. A gun! Then, everything came back to you. You are a Space Traveler, the polices of the universe. You serve under the general and is missioned to protect the universe. But one day, you were sent to the court room. For destroying Mars, you were stripped of all your powers. Furthermore, you were sentence to death for violating space rules. “But why?” You whisper. What did you do?Then, it hits you. You didn’t do anything! You were framed, someone framed you. Enraged, you pick up the gun, marched right in, and ready your self for battle. But then, you see nothing, you hear nothing. “What is happening?” You start to feel tired, a bit sleepy. What do you do next?- Go And Investigate The Forest?- Turn Around And Ready The Camp For The Night?

CHAPTER 3 (A)You stand up and march into the forest. You hold your gun close to yourself, incase anything shows up. Where did the monster go? You ask yourself. How did it show up in the first place? You pass trees after trees and go further in the forest but no sign of the monster. The more you go, the more relieved yet puzzled you are. You are excited, but afraid. Anything could show up, but you hope that its someone you could talk with, and explain what’s happening. “CRACK”, you react and quickly turn and face the noise. “WHO’S THERE?” A man comes out, you carefully walk close to him. “WHO ARE YOU?”. No response, and you start to feel suspicious. What if he is trying to kill you? What if he is infected with something? Questions pop into your head, but you as you stare at his blank face, you see that he is harmless, and move in closer. His clothes are torn, his entire body covered in scars. Suddenly, he lets out a large scream, pulls out a knife and tries to attack you. You burst off running for your life, but he follows behind quickly. You hold your gun, ready to shoot, but…you weren’t able to shoot him. But you have to, swiftly turning around, you shoot him, but he was able to dodge it. You trip and fall. He’s coming. Just as he comes near you, he starts coughing out blood and, falls down. He lays there coughing blood for a moment, then you see his body getting weaker. And he slowly dies, horrified, you try to stand up, but barely. You look at the dead body, slowly rotting, a disease? A plague? What do you do?- Run Away?- Check The Dead Body?

CHAPTER 3 (B)You rest at ease, knowing that the monster is gone. What was that thing? What if it comes again? You then decide to just try to rest there, but the thought of encountering that monster again keeps you up. What else can come out here? Anything. You are trapped in this place without any knowledge of it. A deserted planet? You want to go investigate, but your afraid of the monster. Afraid of it showing up again. What do you do? What can you do? After hours of thinking, you decide to stay. You try all you can to sleep. In the end, you were able to sleep, but after a few hours, you wake up, starving. But your decision stays the same. You will not leave. After a few days, you are completely starving and could eat anything, but you are afraid of the monster. A week has passed, and you slowly get weaker. Alone, hungry, sad, you sit close to the debris. After 1 week and 2 days, you die. GAME OVER

CHAPTER 3 (C) With the gun, you become more confident and start walking forward, straight in. “CRACK”. You jump back reacting. Out of the dark, you see a bow coming into the light. You aim your gun, ready to battle. Then a person comes out. Green cloths, green hat, it’s the famous Robin Hood. “Tell me what’s happening.” You knew you wouldn’t get the answer. But surprisingly he did. “Long time no see huh? Buddy” You let out a sigh of relief. It’s the Robin Hood you know. “What happened to you? Where did you go?” Robin Hood, is also a Space Traveler who went to Earth and was a hero during the Middle Ages. But then he suddenly disappeared. No one knew where he went, if the Commander knew, he will defiantly be punished. According to the Space Law, anyone who abandons the Commanders orders and leave headquarters will be treated as a traitor. Can you trust Robin Hood?- Go And Talk To Robin Hood?- Ready Your Weapon?

CHAPTER 3 (D)You turn around and walk to the debris. You start to look for the broken pieces and start to use the pieces to create a little hut. A long the way, you also go out to search for food. But you see nothing. Maybe you can find them later. Your not hungry anyways. “CRACK”. You jump back reacting. Out of the dark, you see a bow coming into the light. You aim your gun, ready to battle. Then a person comes out. Green cloths, green hat, it’s the famous Robin Hood. “Tell me what’s happening.” You knew you wouldn’t get the answer. But surprisingly he did. “Long time no see huh?

CHAPTER 4 (A)You turn away, run away as fast as you can. “CRACK”. Another man comes out, and runs at you. You’ve seen him before. But where. Once again, as the man comes close to you, he starts coughing blood and falls. This time, you see chunks of black things coming out of the mans mouth. You stop running. Readying your gun, you come closer. You become devastated of what you see. Its his lungs. The man just coughed out his lungs. Then you remember what you learned during Space Academy. This the… Black Death. Also known as the bubonic plague, caused by a bacteria called Yersinia Pestis. The bacteria infect fleas and the fleas infect everything around it by simply biting the living thing. It originated in China due to the large population of rats, the perfect host for fleas. It killed billions of people during the Middle Ages. You run away as fast as you can. Run, keep running. Then, suddenly, you feel a tiny sting, a bite. But you just keep running. You encounter a few more people, and they were all infected. Man, woman, kids, old people. They show up, but they die. They suffer, their scream engulfs the forest. But you just keep running. After hours of running. Tears start to run down your face. What you experienced was worse than hell. To see everyone around you die. Just then, you start to cough. You cover your mouth with your hands. But you raise your hands, you see that your hands looked purple. With a puddle of blood in the middle. You are infected. You get tired. And start to cough up a lot. You lay down. And then, your eyes close. Forever. Game Over

CHAPTER 4 (B)You come closer to the body. The body, in the puddle of blood, rotting, slowly. You come close to the body. A rain drop falls down your face. Its raining? You ignore the rain, and go to the body. Just as you bend down, an arrow flies right in front of your face. It scratches your forehead but isn’t deep enough to kill you. The arrow hits the tree on your left. You turn to the arrow and stand up. A grin forms on your face. A man comes out from behind you. Green cloths, green hat, it’s the famous Robin Hood. “Tell me what’s happening.” You knew you wouldn’t get the answer. But surprisingly he did. “Long time no see huh? Buddy” You let out a sigh of relief. It’s the Robin Hood you know. “What happened to you?

You fall down and see that Robin Hood is coming closer to you. Then everything blacked out. You are dead. Game Over

Then you both sit down, and he starts to explain. “We are on Earth, during the Middle Ages. While I was hunting, I got myself trapped in here. This place is in the place where no man has gone before. The Death Forest. This place is a normal forest, the only special and different thing is that whatever you think of, if it’s a thought of fear, that thought will come true.” Listening to all of this, you become surprise. “But how come you, the famous Robin Hood got trapped in here in the first place, you could easily got out?” A moment of silence occurs, you can see that he’s thinking. “Now that you mention it, I guess I got lured on purpose. But by who?” You both sit down and think. “Maybe the same purpose that made my space ship crash and land here? That means, we have to work together” He cuts you “Get out of this forest and look for person who did this to us”. Laughter covers the forest as you to shake hands. An alliance has formed. He tells you that he already made shelter. Right now, you need to hunt. But someone should go back to camp and protect it?- Do You Go Hunting?- Do You Go Back To the Camp?
