Chapter 6
Pride sat nervously, staring at the board. He'd just landed on Greed's light blue monopoly. He turned to his pile, if you could even call it that. He didn't have enough money. He looked at his property. He'd already mortgaged all the valuable property after landing on Wrath's stupid dark blue monopoly. At least that was somewhat understandable. Those were the two most feared squares on the board unless you owned them. But light blue? And Greed?
Pride scanned the mortgage value of his remaining properties and silently doing the math. Greed apparently, already had.
"Hah! Give it up Pride! You can't pay me if you mortgaged everything you own! Now, hand over your property."
Pride glowered. Sending shadows out, he wrapped Greed up and hung him upside down by the ceiling. Then he had his vessel stomp out of the room. A few moments later his shadows left the room too, but Greed was still hanging from the ceiling. Apparently, Pride had attached him to some wires before leaving.
Greed squirmed awkwardly against the wires, but he couldn't break free. He couldn't move his arms.
"Hey. Anyone going to help?" Greed asked.
Wrath, Lust, and Envy all answered at about the same time.
"No."
"Not really."
"This is hilarious."
