A New Game
Chapter One: Trendkill
Scarlet Gray awoke, feeling a heavy pressure on her ears. She was strapped to a chair, her hands bound by thick black Velcro straps. Huge stereo headphones were placed on her head, hugging her temples uncomfortably.
Scarlet: What the hell is going on? Where the fuck am I?
The brunette tried to wiggle free to no avail. As she struggled, she heard a harsh tapping above her. Scarlet looked to the ledge that overlooked the circular area she ouccupied. A woman spoke into a microphone in a creepy monotone.
Woman: Hello Scarlet, I want to play a game.
Scarlet: Who are you, what do you want from me?
Woman: Are you a fan of heavy metal Scarlet? Don't bother answering, I know you are. I know that you're obssessed with the so called trends of handbangers across the world. You certainly fit the bill, long black hair, neck trouble among other disturbing entities. You're causing more harm to yourself than you realize, that's why you're here.
This woman sure likes to give long monolouges.
Woman: The rules of this game are simple. The headphones on your head will play the heaviest metal you can imagine, at a volume that will kill you. If you wish to live, then you must cut the instrument with which you've allowed yourself to indulge in music, your ears. You have 60 seconds to make your choice. Sit htere and enjoy the music as it tears you apart or fight against the trend to continue life. The choice is yours.
The woman, dressed in a black cloak, pressed a button on a remote in her pocket. Instantly, the headphones buzzed to life with the sound of Pantera's Great Southern Trendkill. The volume of the screams that echoed from the speakers made Scarlet scream herself. Her hands were free and a scapel was sitting pretty beside her right hand.
Scarlet: Okay, it's now or never.
She gripped the scapel and brought it to her face. Weeping likie a newborn, she quickly swiped the blade across her right ear. Blood and the severed body part fell to the floor.
Scarlet: Fuck!
Replacing the pain with an iron determination, Scarlet took a breath and tore into her left ear. Her silent screams perpetrated the other woman's hearing. She emrged from the shadows.
Woman: Congratulations Scarlet. You've stood up against that which was destroying you. I guess you can call this quite the trendkill right?
Even though she couldn't hear, Scarlet shouted her question.
Scarlet: Who the hell are you?
The woman dropped her cloak and smiled ear to ear. There was no risk in telling this girl her identity, she couldn't comprehend anything anyway.
Woman: I'm Jill Tuck. You're free to go.
Jill waved the trembling girl out into the mid day light, keeping sure that her own face was completely hidden.
This was only the start of a long day.
