Recently, I moved to San Francisco, which is 25km far from my parents place, as I got a job at an IT Department. They were offering me a good salary amount so couldn't refuse the offer. I live in a small two rooms apartment with my roommate Ron.
Ron is kind but he is a chatterbox, who doesn't let me a word to speak. He works at the same place where I do. The thing which makes me jealous of him is that he get promotions every month & me, who is working overtime is still at the same of â‚ą20,000 salary.
"Hey! Will you be coming with me at the amusement park??" My phone screen popped up with a notification on WhatsApp - It was from Ron.
"Alright, Pick me up from the Society's Gate." I texted him back.
2 hours later, Ron came with his car to pick me up. He was wearing white shirt and black pant. We didn't exchanged any words in the car.
15 minutes later, we reached the amusement park. We both bought a â‚ą200 ticket from the counter and started looking for something to enjoy.
"Hey come here!" cried Ron.
"What now?" I replied.
"Look, this game seems to be interesting. Are you going to play it with me?"
"Well I don't think this game is good-"
"Let me give it a try." Ron, ignoring me started playing the game.
The thing which made me feel uncomfortable was the name of that game, It was 'TRUTH OR DIE'. The first question popped on the screen.
"DO YOU LIKE THIS GAME? YES OR NO?"
"YES" Ron pressed the button.
"ARE YOU A GOOD PERSON? YES OR NO?"
"YES"
"IS THE COLOR OF YOUR SHIRT RED? YES OR NO?"
"NO" He laughed and pressed the button.
"WRONG ANSWER!!! IT'S RED. HAHAHA"
"What? How? Stupid game." Ron whispered.
Suddenly, a man from the woods came running towards Ron and stabbed him thrice on his stomach. His white shirt was now red with the blood. The man disappeared in the woods. I called the ambulance but it was too late. Ron breath his last at the amusement park's bench.
Because of being clueless, the cops gave up and called it a cold case. I always knew there was something strange with that game as I hired the killer and made changes in that game. I always hated him and I am happy that now he is no more. Hahahahaha...
