Greetings.

 

Again, I was pleased to see quite a few good entries; sadly, I could only select some for recognition. Here they are:

 

In first place, winning 40 000 crystals, @Lethal_Injection's entry:

 

Bloodshed, Chapter Two: Hallucinations

 

    I slowly regained my consciousness. The pain in my chest was excruciating. I didn’t want to know how many of my ribs I had broke after Stefan had threw me against the wall.

    Darn it! Where’s Stefan? I thought, my vision still blurry. Suddenly, the building went dark, but just for a moment. The emergency red lights flicked on and a siren blared through the hallways. 
    “Prisoner break from interrogation chamber A5!” a frantic voice cried over the intercom. “Fugitive is armed and ruthless, request immediate backup!”

    My brain was overloaded with stimuli. The pain, the alarm, the dim, ominous, flickering red lights, the footsteps of guards sprinting towards the equipment room. I remembered then the emergency medical pack that was always kept in each of the interrogation rooms. I crawled over to the corner and ripped out the morphine, injecting myself immediately. The pain relieved, I crawled over to my fallen comrade Liam. I felt his neck for a pulse. Nothing.

    Guards and a medic then burst into the room. They surveyed the scene, and ran over to check Maximus. It was about then that I once again slipped into the realm of unconsciousness.

 

    I awoke again. Only I was not awake, that much I was sure about. The fugitive, Stefan, was standing right in front of me.

    “It’s true, you know, that I murdered Juniper,” he paused, letting the confession sink in. “Who cares anyway, she was annoying as hell. One could never get any work done with her in the adjacent cubicle.”

    “Monster!” I lunged at him, but my legs would not obey. They were stuck in a surreal muck, invisible shackles holding them in place.

    Stefan chuckled. “Fool! You shall never catch me!” He pulled out the pistol that he stole from a guard and pointed it at me.

    I struggled against my invisible restraints. “One day, mark my words, you will atone for your crimes. For it is not only Juniper you killed. My friend and comrade Liam is dead by your hand, and I shall make you pay!”

    “Such noble words you speak, my friend,” he paused. “However, such ignorance you still continue to display. You are equally as guilty as me, you know.”

    “What you said about my memory… what did you mean?” But I never received an answer.

 

    The next thing I knew, I was lying on a bed in the prison’s infirmary, bandages generously swathed around my abdomen. I sat bolt upright, sweating at my subconscious encounter, and then shrieked in pain.

    “Stay down. You broke three ribs in your encounter with the fugitive. You also kinda overdosed on that morphine, you were probably hallucinating for a bit.”

I looked up and saw my commanding officer standing beside me.  “Commander! How is the situation? Where is Stefan?”

The commander gritted his teeth. “Stefan has escaped the facility. He was not alone. He had an accomplice among the staff.”

    “Do we know where Stefan is and who his accomplice was?”

    “Police have set up a 10-block perimeter around the prison. Stefan can’t get far. As for the accomplice…” He trailed off. “Our primary suspect is your friend Liam.”

 

 

 

The following entries merited a consolation prize:

 

@KillerGnat: Escape - 15 000 crystals

 

@Jwimmer: Thoughts of a madman - 10 000 crystals

 

@Bluebird13: Apprising - 10 000 crystals

 

Special mention to @himself_cos_hes_a_D's entry for an unique perspective on the premises given.

 

 

Congratulations, and understand that there were many more that were of excellent quality.

Congrulation for the winners.

[Bluebird13 95]

Heh, this is my first win/consolation of any sort! Yay, and thank you all; well done to everyone else. I'm very happy with this, as the more I read my story, the more faults I found. I hadn't considered injury recovery, for starters.

 

Thanks everyone :lol: .

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

RIP greymult. ;(

[KillerGnat 3,135]

Oh my word, no!!! Any happiness I gained from my consolation prize was snatched away when I saw that you're leaving us. Of course for all I know, this could just be a troll thingy, but I know that any self-respecting cat wouldn't do that.

 

 

And of course, L_I walks away with the 1st place prize, no surprise there :D. Congo on your whopping 40k. 

 

 

Yeah, thanks for considering my entry worthy of a consolation prize too :3.
