Brief Author Bio: Oh dear, who has managed to convince me of this ridiculoussity? I can't believe I was fooled for one minute into thinking I'll get through this with my sanity attached.... COFFEE. I NEED COFFEE. I'll buy it in bulk from factories and store it like a soldier preparing for a month-long lie in the trenches, awaiting and dreading the next attack from the opposing forces. By the way, opposing forces include - Writer's Block, College, Friends and Life. But who needs them anyway.... |

Synopsis: I KILL U (University of Assassin Arts)
Better title coming soon. :/
~
On January 26th, 800 students specially selected from all over the continental US recieved one single university acceptence letter in their mail.
On July 10th, 357 of them came to check out the vast campus, the hotel-room dorms, the prestine classrooms, the brilliant professors and friendly upperclassmen.
On August 22nd, 312 returned for their first night, preparing to begin the life they'd never dreamed of, to step out into the world of adulthood, and begin their futures.
However, following their first entrance screening - the Massacre Exam, only 92 of those survived.
They were now trapped inside of the school grounds, struggling for their lives, and for their morals which had all been mercilessly shoved aside as the Assassin Academy began to teach them their lessons. They had no choice. They would walk away murderers. Their only hope for the last bit of humanity was to escape the campus as quickly as possible.
That was also the only way to graduate.

Excerpt: I KILL U (University of Assassin Arts)
“I want to go home,” I told her, pulling up my knees to my face and hugging my legs. “I want to go back.”
“Go back?” she echoed, sounding genuinely startled. “What for? You just got out! You’re out of high school, finally becoming an adult, and you want to go back to your mommy and daddy? Don’t make me laugh, Peter Pan.” She snorted and tossed her hair. “You shouldn’t even be thinking that. And anyway, didn’t you listen? You can’t leave.”
“That’s probably a lie,” I grunted, feeling angry at her for making fun of me. Was she insane? Did she actually want to be here? “I bet if we got together, all of the freshmen, and made a run for it, they wouldn’t be able to stop us.”
At this suggestion, Nora tipped back her chin and laughed loudly. “You’re right, of course,” she chuckled, although it was dry and humorless. “Some of you would definitely get out alive. The ones on the inside of the crowd, that is; the shortest ones. The outside ranks would be riddled with holes. Haven’t you ever heard of snipers?”
I blanched and covered my mouth with my hand, feeling bile rise in my throat. “They wouldn’t!” I gasped.
“Of course they would,” Nora said frankly. “What would stop them? Your heroic aura? Your contagious sense of justice? Your incredible ability to separate the harsh reality of the world from the white-picket fence of the life you’ve lived up until now? Wake up and smell the gun power, Barbie,” she grunted, rapping her knuckles on my forehead. “Your only choice here is simple – to give up and die like a weak coward, or to suck it up and survive. So, which will you chose?”
