The Other Side's

Not Fine Just

That morning the Grey family had breakfast together while enjoying a classic song played by a gramophone.

"Today's a big day, is everything ready Peter?" ask Miss Mary

"Yup mom, Lana has everything ready. I'm gonna check it back this morning,"

"Good! I know I can count on you, baby."

Mr. Grey ate quietly, listening to the mother and child talk.

"You didn't go to the Grey's labyrinth?" ask Miss Mary

"Maybe I'll go with Peter, check out the labyrinth participants" said Mr. Grey

"Well, make sure there are still good parts that can be sold. Heart prices are now on the rise, people are daring to pay dearly for it,"

"I'll make sure you get your heart, please,"

Mr. Grey kisses his wife then passes leaving Lady Mary who continues her breakfast. Peter stepped into the hospital canteen, walking over to Lana

"What do we get?" ask Peter

"Three homeless people and two delinquents,"

"That means we can only have a few blood bags, one pair of eyes, a heart and if we're lucky it could be two kidneys."

"Living patterns of people like them are unhealthy, rarely have good kidneys,"

"You want me to add it?" ask Lana

"No need, this month is not too much demand. Have you got the gear ready?"

"Yes, the hunters are ready too."

"Perfect! Invitations are open this afternoon, feed them whatever they want."

Peter then passed by leaving Lana, returning to his room. Mr. Grey greeted him with a glass of drink, Peter accepted and sat down with his father.

"Hows it? Everything sorted?"

"Yes, Lana's with them,"

"How much?"

"Five, three homeless and two delinquents,"

"Hmm... not bad," Mr. Grey nodded in listening

"Have you checked their health?"

"Lana's done it, but we can't expect much,"

"Let your mother know, so she can open the invitation for tonight."

That night several luxury cars belonging to successful businessmen of the city of Lovelock parked in the parking lot of Lovelock Surgery Hospital.

Some golf carts come to pick them up, take them across the mini golf park, continue to the labyrinth park where the Grey Family has been waiting.

"Welcome to the Labyrinth of Gentlemen and Ladies, tonight there are two new cast members, Mr Hudson and Mr. Andew." Lady Mary shook the hands of the two men who were named, then went forward to give a greeting to the guests

"Alright, as always before starting I'll explain the rules of the game."

"Each player is free to choose his participants who will race to get out of the Labyrinth, each participant will enter a different door. Free to choose which path he thinks is right to get out of the Labyrinth."

"The interesting part is that they not only race but also have to pass five hunters. The hunters are Silent Killer, having different weapons, arrows, daggers, axes, swords and Shuriken."

"The player whose participant can finish the game in less than an hour is the winner, how? You all understand?" the guests appear to nod their heads.

"Well, the players please choose the player you want." Madam Mary pointed at the screen behind her which showed five participants.

There were two street lads, a mohak haired model and another red haired. The other three participants looked older but their bodies still looked well-built. One was rather thin, one was medium-bodied with a bald head, the last one was densely packed with whiskers and sideburns on his face.

"Determine your choice and place your bet now, the game will start in five minutes."

Some of the players who have made their choice then climb the balcony, the rest are still looking for participants they think is right.

The bet they played was not too big at just five million, but for the Grey family the advantage of the game is not only money, they can also get the organs of the participants and that means more money.

The hunters enter the labyrinth first, they are deliberately placed randomly. The participants were ready at the door, the players sat tensely, watching their respective chosen participants.

Peter throws fireworks into the air as a sign of the game. The doors were opened, the participants started running. In the first minute the two youths looked agilely tracing the path of the labyrinth, they called each other to mark their whereabouts. Apparently the two formed a team, working together to find the right path.

The player who bet on them laughed happily, confident his candidate would win. At the next turn the redhead chose the right lane, apparently the hunter with the axe gun was there.

The young man ran in panic, trying to break through the plants next to him to change lanes, the hunter was getting closer.

"Hendry!" the young man screamed for his friend

"Sam where are you!"

"Help me, Hendry!" the hunter was right behind the redhead.

The players watched tensely as the hunter swiftly stuck the object in his hand into the young man's back.

"Run!" the redhead screamed for a moment before his body collapsed to the ground.

The first death, then followed by the bald-headed man, an arrow stuck in the forehead penetrating to his small brain.

Some players who bet on them shook their heads in disappointment, while others laughed at the defeat of their opponents. They kept an eye on the remaining participants.

"Look at him trapped like a rat!" exclaimed someone while pointing at the thin-bodied participant who was just spinning in place, hesitating to take a step forward or backward.

"Damn!" as for a player, apparently he bet on a bearded man who was being executed by the hunter with a knife weapon.

Whether the luck factor or cleverness set the strategy of two participants managed to find the right way out, the mohak-haired young man and the thin man reached the finish line together.

The atmosphere on the balcony became noisy, each player felt the player who won.

"Relax gentlemen and ladies, the rule is that there can only be one bearer."

"So ..," Mary flicked her finger, a hunter threw a knife at each participant.

"They will fight, the winner is the winner!"

All players are satisfied with the rules they consider to be fair.

The skinny man picked up the knife and grasped it tightly, the mohak hair began to attack.

The frightened skinny man floated his knife in any direction, making the young man somewhat overwhelmed looking for a gap. But then the old man let his guard down, his gaze shifting by a split second.

The young man did not waste the opportunity, he then kicked the skinny man in the face, making him fall down, the young man then stuck his flat object into the skinny man's back.

"We've got a winner!" mrs Mary exclaimed, some players looked disappointed, winning players seemed to be toasting each other drinks.

"Thank you for participating Ladies and gentlemen." Mistress Mary bowed in salute to the players.

"We have to thank Mrs Grey! What an interesting game."

The businessmen of Lovelock city who became a conscience player then entered the banquet hall that has been provided.

Lana approached the winner.

"Give me my gift, I want to get out of here as soon as possible" said the young man

"Why rush? You haven't enjoyed the dessert."

Lana gestured for the young man to follow her, hesitatingly following Lana from behind. One of the hunters approached the young man, stabbed him in the back without hesitation and dragged the young man's body into one of the rooms.

This game has no winner. Win or lose they will die. I followed the hunter, in the room.

Some people were busy picking up the bodies of the participants. I was stunned on the spot, is this the real Grey family business?

Is it true that the Forever Young Foundation stands firmly on the piles of bones and pools of blood of its victims?
