Day Six Anthem

Hours after the carnage stops, the soft hum of a fluorescent light whispers in your ears. Slowly, erratically — some lights are merely on, illuminating nothing in the glow of their dim gold; others are stark white and yet still more flicker apprehensively — the arena returns to its natural state. The temperature drops throughout the night, the bodies of your companions (Enemies? Friends? Family?) disappear when you turn your back.

The anthem tonight seems too loud, after the day spent calculating every noise. It reverberates off the walls and through the hallways, and you can swear that even the sky outside shakes from the bluster.

With four gone, 12 remain. 11 more must die if you ever hope to truly take flight — back to your home.

Throughout the night, the world continues to change. Airlocks do not close when they should. The southern hallways continue to drop in temperature, and the northern ones acquiesce. When the night is silent, near 2AM — or 3 — or 4 — you can softly hear the faint whispering of Kodama; the shadow of antlers, forever fractaling, slowly heads towards you. Nature meets the Future: Flowers spring up when they step into view, and the eyes — luminous and steady, pierce into your soul.

You stand before a being that chooses to do nothing in this nightmare; when morning comes, you will have to make your own dreams a reality.

Congratulations on surviving Day 5!
