Title: the game p1
Date: 10 January 2017

Friday night and I get home, pizza in hand and a night of movies and relaxing ahead, my phone buzzes and I check the message I just got ‘game starting in 3 hours, in? Y/N’ I firmly press N and also type unsubscribe, I regret ever becoming involved in that ridiculous game, I plopped myself down on my couch and flipped on Netflix.

Next Friday was essentially a repeat, except I had decided to get the pizza delivered since I was feeling lazier then ever. A knock on the door signalled the arrival of the pizza and I opened the door and my jaw nearly hit the floor, there before me stood an absolute beefcake holding my pizza, he flashed me a grin and stepped forward causing me to step backwards without even realizing that I had allowed him in my apartment. My brain was trying to warn me of something since this dude looked really familiar, but it definitely wasn’t from the last time I ordered a pizza! He placed my pizza on the side table and closed the door and then that’s when I remembered where I had seen him, I turned and tried to dash to the bedroom to lock myself in and call the police but he was on top of me in no time at all and had me pinned down on the floor, before I could yell for help he roughly stuffed a folded up square of material in my mouth and soon had a layer of duct tape wrapped around my head. I tried to struggle against him, but one hard punch to the gut and I was done as he efficiently bound my hands and feet in duct tape, he stood up and grabbed my nose and opened it to the lock screen he then slid it under my face, ‘unlock it or I will give you a second punch’ I knew for a fact that he would, now that I remembered who he was, I knew that there was no going back from this, I used my nose to enter my code, he pulled his mobile out and typed something in, my phone dinged and a familiar text appeared, ‘game starting in 3 hours, in? Y/N’ he hit Y and send on my phone. And then left me on the floor as he left. As soon as he was outside the door I started to struggle wrenching at my hands and legs to try and loosen the tape, this wasn’t the first time he had taped someone up however, and all the key wiggle points had been taped up tightly, I tried to worm my way to the kitchen to get a knife.

I got about halfway there before the door opened and my kidnapper came back in pushing a large crate on wheels, he smiled as he saw what I was up to, I stopped worming my way there, there was no chance of escape now, I was just along for the ride now. He opened the chest and pulled out a large leather sack, he came over to me and opened it and started to pull it over my feet, I obediently lifted my legs and body to help him, anything I could do from here on to make this easier on myself would just bring the whole ordeal to an end quicker, soon my entire body up to my neck was in the sack, he tightened the neck of the sack around my neck, padlocking it so that I would not be able to loosen it and wiggle out. Once this was up he easily picked me up and lifted me into the crate, it was padded on the inside. He grinned down at me as he closed the lid, “I was really disappointed when you didn’t play again buddy, so I decided you might need convincing, I am glad you decided to play” he closed the lid of the box and I head a padlock clicking shut as well. Dammit, I can’t believe I was going to have to play this stupid game again.
