LITERARY OUTBREAK: Fight or Die One-Shot Writing Contest

Phase O: Audition Round

March 15, 2016

Dear Love,

It's been months since I unleashed several outbreaks all around the world. You should see the fear in their faces. It's ecstatic to see humanity crumble within the palm of my hands. Those lives, those tears, those screams, those cries-they are nothing compared to what they did to you.

And they will pay. Blood must be paid by blood. I will not stop until I get my revenge. They're in for a game they can't escape from. Death will be the end for most of them-I will be their death. Those who will be left behind will bow before me. They can't stop me. No. They will see me as their God.

Love, this is your dream coming true. Wherever you are, I know that you are happy, seeing others suffering, seeing their agony-if it can only appease my need for vengeance. But, I want more. I want to prolong their pain. I want them to feel what I feel right now. I want them to know how it is to lose someone you love.

So to those Martyrs who want to play the game, pain is just a shallow feeling, Love. I will do something. I will remove this excruciating torment I'm experiencing right now. And in order to do that, I need to start this game. I need to begin with Phase 0. It's time for the laboratory to open.

We will meet soon, Love. I promise you.

Your love,

The Doctor
