" Hello !
The Ambulance!
Hurry up please.
There is an emergency in the southern section of the Al-Kaw residence, we will be waiting you in the courtyard near by”
John Khalid said, after that he hung the phone and threw it on the floor. His eyes were terrified. He was very up set.
" My dear!"
John said as he held his wife Susan's head up. She was in a fainting state.
Her body was so cold in a frightening way, as if death had promised her to dance with her tonight in a pavilion in the Antarctic.
"Come on, Susan open your eyes!
Ha!
The ambulance is on the way, bear up a little .
Come on my love.
Didn't you promise me we wouldn't be a part?"
John said as he hugged his wife tightly to his chest.
The sound of the ambulance!
John carried his wife and put her in the ambulance. She was taken to the hospital, the doctors quickly entered her to the operating room.
Many doctors gathered around her, which raised John's fear.
-
Four hours later, in the operating room
"Sir, please tell me about her.
Is she okay ?"
John whispered in a hoarse voice. Susan was the first love of his life. He couldn't believe he had a beautiful perfect lady like her to be his life partner.
"Mr John Khalid!
There is good news and other no.
The good news is that your wife is temporarily out of danger.
As for the bad. She suffers from brain cancer, and she must have an operation within a maximum of two weeks. If she does not do so, she will die!"
Doctor Oscar said.
" Impossible!
And what are you waiting for, start the operation. Do anything I want to see my life love again!"
John Khalid screamed, the doctor approached him
"Control yourself sir, complete the procedures there at the reception, as soon as you pay the money, we will start our work."
Doctor Oscar said.
John wiped his tears after hearing that news, and ran towards the reception to complete the process papers.
He was surprised when he learned that it cost a hundred and fifty million dollars.
If he worked his whole life a full time job in addition to selling all his possessions which you can count them with your fingers. He would gain only five thousand dollars.
He came out of the hospital, looking for an old friend to lend him some money. He was in a desperate condition, no one he knew would be willing to lend him that much money.
He was unconsciously walking down the road near the pub when suddenly he grabbed the newspaper delivery boy dropping some of his newspapers on the floor. John helped the boy lift them.
" I am sorry for what happened."
John said to the little boy.
He raised one of the newspapers.
Which written on it :
“The greatest event is that it exceeds expectations!
What are you waiting for?
Hurry up to participate, it's the biggest game, the struggle for survival, under the auspices of the DMT company, the winner will get five hundred million dollars and a contract for two manufacturers of sugar industry.
Call now and reserve your seat.
John read the article in the newspaper over a hundred times, all avenues closed to him. He decided to participate in that game, hoping to win and carry out his wife's life.
John went to the place that was mentioned in the newspaper, after saying goodbye to his wife and his five-year-old son.
He left his son under the care of his great-grandmother, Maria, when he arrived . The building was huge and spacious. He was led to a room with a huge number of participants. They were from different nationalities. Some of them look like gangsters, others are poor people who want to change their lives in any way.
"Attention everyone!
Hello!
I'm Mr. Lee, the company's director, without introductions.
This is what is called a survival game, there is one rule, survive and you will win the prize!
everything is allowed, you will be taken to where the game will be held tomorrow morning, remember, we are watching you, give us your best!"
A well-dressed man said,
Numbers were placed on all participants. John Khaid got the number ninety-nine. They were not allowed to talk to each other, they were given some equipment and bags. They had knives, explosives and pistols.
'Truly !
a struggle for survival!
Get ready, coward.
I'll kill you all'
One of the men at the end of the corridor shouted, he looked crazy and dangerous, like an internationally wanted criminal. John looked at the picture of his wife and his young son,
“I will do everything for you, I promise to win no matter what?
Wait me dears.”
John whispered to himself. Quickly insert the picture of his wife and his son into his pocket.
"It is time to act." A voice behind him said.
All participants were blindfolded, and they were led to the unknown, inevitable death.
They were all landed on a remote island, distributed in separate places but the goal is one, to survive on the island only for seven days, and whoever survives will win, it is simply the game.
Anything is allowed and I mean everything.
John found himself in a dark cave, he inspected the cave. No one inside, on their wrists there was a watch that would alarm if any one approached the other.
John found inside the cave some medical equipment and a lot of weapons, they were placed inside an unlocked room.
John scans that room and reprograms it, locking it with a code that he only knows, he's planning for something big.
He went out to explore his surroundings. He had a pistol and some grenades as a precaution, the bush was full of trees which were alike. The place was strange.
