Abstract

He doesn’t think. I trained him to execute orders and lives — even his life if necessary. It’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make. Mercifully, I shoot him in the big toe to speed up his agony.

30 Seconds to Escape This Hell

On the other side of the white cloth

One of them is bringing a cluster bazooka. If we don’t do something now, we will die, and General Debdutta’s coup will be successful.

My anxiety takes over, and my mind drifts away to our beloved leader. His last words are engraved in my neurons forever.

We can’t allow another dark time of despair to cloud our country’s future. Forty-seven years ago, General Debdutta’s grandmother seized power using subterfuge and sneakiness, and we barely managed to survive her Deceitful Presidency (trademark).

I powermedit for three seconds to refocus and strategize.

“Comrade 79! Rip off your exo skin. Now!”

He doesn’t think. I trained him to execute orders and lives — even his life if necessary. It’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make. Mercifully, I shoot him in the big toe to speed up his agony. He forms a heart shape with his hands, the universal gesture of gratitude. I will award him a posthumous Cocoa Heart (trademark) for his service. Thankfully, he divorced last year, and we won’t have to pay a pension.

Comrade 54 uses her superpower and bleaches the exo-skin with her toxic vomit. She’s almost out of energy, and I give her a piece of Comrade 79 to recharge. Another sacrifice he might not be willing to make, but he’s dead.

It all happened in 23 seconds, and I had seven seconds left to sew a dove on the small white cloth.

I’ve done it hundred times back at the training camp on Venus. Easy-peasy cocoa-squeezy.

I throw it out of our window on the third floor.

It worked! She’s distracted, and we escape, leaving only Comrade 79’s liver behind. He was an alcoholic; it would have been too toxic to eat.

I stole this story from Debdutta Pal. She’s waiting for you on the other side of the white cloth:
