Chapter 8

I'm starting to get used to being in this hall. But also not at the same time? Whatever. Question 4.

"Alright, next question. How long is a year on Mars?" 

1 89 Earth days

2 201 Earth days

3 432 Earth days

4 687 Earth days

Alright, let's use my brain here. So a year on Earth is 365 days, unless it's a leap year so it's 366. Mars is further away from the Sun so it must take longer. But by how much? 

"Times is almost up!" 

Oh sh*t! I panic and press 4 687 Earth days. 

"And the correct answer is...4 687 Earth days."

Yes! Knowledge! And problem-solving! 

I was the only person who got it right. I am estatatic. 

Oliver, Gabby and Grace can't die again so Peter, Bruce, Yuri and Penny all get sent to the killing room. 


Oh projector, oh projector, what do you have for us today? 

'WORDS' 

What. 

"Let's see if you can string some letters together."

Penny is crapping herself by the looks of things.

"Use the letters to spell the longest word you can before time runs out."

To be honest, I don't care about this since I'm not participating. But I'll try none the less. 

"I got my love of words from my grandmother! And also my love for murder." 

Well, she seems nice. 

"The person with the shortest word will be punished."

Then a random barrage of letters appears in front of them. I can also see it. 

They get around 30 seconds to make up a word

They get around 30 seconds to make up a word. 


After time runs out the words are shown on screen. 

Peter - formula

Bruce - reader (you rn)  

Penny - lever

Yuri - video

I come up with 'vandal'. 

Somehow both Penny and Yuri had the same amount of scores. I wonder what happens to them both. Do they both die? 

Suddenly they both get marked by X's. 

"They both die?!" 

I say kind of surprised. 

"Yup! They both had the shortest word." 

He replies very calmly. Too calmly. 

Yuri and Penny have nails stuck in them like Grace before turning into ghosts like the other 3. 

How am I alive? The others should be alive, not me! I don't get a chance to contemplate any further because we're leaving. 


We leave the killing floor once more to see our current rankings. 


Penny  (Ghost) - $3425

Yuri (Ghost) - $2950

Bruce - $2558

(Y/N) - $2475 

Peter - $2100

Oliver (Ghost) - $2000 

Grace (Ghost) - $1408 

Gabby (Ghost) - $33


Top 3 alive! I have no idea how I've done this. 

Let's keep up the good work. 


---------------

Every question BTW has been in TMP1. I'm not making these questions up.

Anyways, you're probably asking where the romance is. 

And to answer that, I am making this book a 'slow burner' if you will. 

It'll be a while until the lovey-dovey shite starts kicking in. 

Hoped that answered someone's question.
