At first, we thought it would be just simple game, like the one we used to do in our schools.

It was almost 1:20 a.m. and I quietly headed for the cafeteria. He could hear some strange sketch squeaky sounds from upstairs. My heart gave a lurch. The spirit of adventure made me walk. I silently opened the door of cafeteria. The rumor was real. How thrilling!!


///


It was 3 days ago that I saw the interesting letter.
"What's this??"
There was an ivory colored folded paper in the bathroom.
I grabbed that and it was as cold as the ice.
NO ONE else was in my dorm at that time.
opened.
"Mafia game??"
It was saying that we would have an exciting game, divided into the 4 groups of people: citizen, doctor, detective... and mafia. Then those who want to sign up for the mafia should come to cafeteria until 1:30 a.m.on January 10th.
I couldn't believe  it perfectly. It seemed like the trick of my roommates. But, wouldn't it be fun if it is large scale of game. I love that kind of game. If it is true, it would be a energizer in boring days of GLPS.
I put that mysterious clue in my pocket. Then two of my roommates came in. I was really surprised as if I've done such a bad thing. Will they know that something crazy is happening????

But I had to be more prudent about that. I  never realized that it would be a real game which vanquish our lives at all.

Now back to the present, I was with some people who have been chosen to a mafia....
"Do you know who made this game? I..just came to confirm the truth." Someone asked and no one answered. Yeah, it's more exciting...

the next day, there were many people in front of the elevator of first floor. They were complaining about the situation that the elevator was broken. It was fixed in the 12th floor and didn't move at all. So worried PAs went upstairs but the door didn't work like the stone. What???
"Attention student, this message is for everyone in the GLPS camp who will now start the most exciting Mafia game... Oh in fact the game have begun already... You innocent citizens..."

The voice was resonated in the whole building and people were caught in fear thanks to the mechanic, muttering man's voice.

"...You have to find out all members of the cruel, cunning, critical mafia at the every trial meeting which will be held in the morning...somewhere. Be careful that your friend might be planning to kill you..."

Then one student came to the crowd and shouted, "Hey!! The gate is closed!! Call 119!!"

"...The door is closed, as you know. Don't try hard 'cause it won't open. I'm watching all of you in this building as a citizen or mafia... You may know that there are other jobs such as police and doctor, and so is this game. Good luck?!"

It was almost 9 o'clock and we didn't find a suitable way to go outside.
I was so scared that I couldn't breathe well.
Is it a trick of one?? Then why it is such dangerous??
Few minutes ago, we checked the number of the people in the dorm and according to one  PA, a child has disappeared. We're looking for him.
I tried to call someone. Mysteriously it kept ringing but no one answered.

I am now alone in the 3rd floor, looking for that boy...
I'm not sure if it is the real situation or dumbfounded dream.
Anyway I am doing my best.
Yeah, I can save some one's life including me because I am a doctor. I haven't meet my partner but I believe myself. I'm quite good at this kind of game.

"Who are you??"

I am little surprised. Most of the students except PAs are panicked and resting in their dorm lethargically. It is a second grade boy. I'll accompany with him.

---

1:30 a.m.

Victim selected>..

---

We yet didn't find a way out.
We are getting more and more hungry since we can't go to cafeteria.
All drinks in the vending machine are sold out........
We all realized that the situation is serious, DANGEROUS.
NO one is trying to check the student..... We are becoming the mummies.
The elevator is still staying on the top floor.

"Where's Hansu??" Someone shouts.
"Who knows?"
Another person snared with low voice.
"But...I didn't see him after this morning... I'm his roommates... I'm really worried."

Then....we saw it, incidentally.
That the elevator which didn't seem to open again made a imposing sound and opened.
We happened to see the merciless scene.
The boys who had been disappeared were there......We couldn't see it properly, but they were dying.
What can we do???
NO ONE could move at that time.

                  implicit sign of encouragement it was.
                    We must continue this game.






2 days later




///


Can you see us suffering from the famine???
Until yesterday, we could stand with some food in dorm.
Some students were lying on the bed, dreaming and dreaming to go out.
Some of the students have died one by one, in the deep night.
In my case, I have to live.
I am a doctor in this game.
Also, my real dream is to be a doctor.
I just want to be a physician and save lives of people suffering from the illness,
build a house in a big city and just like that. I want to be happy!!! I came to GLPS to approach little more to my future.

"I can't just blame this situation. I think I have to do something."
"But you said you are a citizen. What can we do???"

I lied to the boy I met 3 days ago that I am a citizen.

"I think we have to open a public execution."
"execution?? How??"
"We may be able to gather people and get some opinions."
And I also have to find my partner and find out a way to save the victim as a doctor.


///


"Everybody's here??"

I shouted. No one answered, but I was little excited that I felt like the master.
More than 300 people were sitting in the corridor of 10th floor.
I could see my friends' face.

"We cannot live here forever. We citizens have to go out and live our lives. Why are we shut up in such place, waiting for the death?? We have to take action. Let's kill all the mafias!! That's why I called you."

Some agreed.
I smiled.

"Give any opinion. You can just guess, too. Did you see your friends go out in the night??"

All people were stone.

"uh.....Can I say?? I....I...just saw...my roommate..." a girl with red jacket muttered.
"Don't be afraid!!" A girl with long curly hair said.
"...Last night..No, for few days I saw my friend stepping outside in the night... I can't remember exactly...but..."
"What's her name??"
She muttered a name, which I don't know. Fortunately.
the indicated one's eyes were filled with fear. She said nothing.
"Any other opinion??" I asked.
Then the girl next to the red jacket girl suddenly raised her arm.
"Hey, you know that? She didn't go out. I couldn't sleep last night in my bed and as you know, my ears are very well developed. I am your roommate too. How couldn't I not aware of her absence at night??"

Nice inference.
Many people started to nod their heads.
We had to do something for our safety.

"Let's vote. Who think that she is Mafia??"
I said, pointing at the girl with red jacket,

Selfish.
More that half of the students raised their hands.

"Okay, it seems that she is trying to kill us. Do you have excuse?"
"..." She was very embarrassed.

We then all agreed to lock her up in the PA office.
She didn't even disobey.
She saw her friend cynically smiling in the dark.
Victim from the public execution.
Trick of the Mafia.

I don't sleep this night. I'm going to find a way to save someone's life.
I am now going toward the cafeteria.
Horrifying conversation.
The cafeteria is open.
'Mafia might have the key to enter the cafeteria. How unfair. Maybe I can go inside, too cause I am doctor.'
2:00 a.m.
I walk into the cafeteria, silently, and see some faces of the mafias....
They walk out the door, muttering something.
I go to the table, see a paper which is same quality of the material with a paper I found in bathroom, written 'you are a doctor'.
Nothing is in the paper.
However, I feel unconsciously that I can write a name.
Who??
Who should I write?
The answer is me.
Mafia won't like people who is leading the situation.

///

"Everybody's here?"
I think I have done good job.
No one died.
I maybe able to save my life everyday.

///

public execution

A boy with yellow glasses got selected.
I don't think that he has done such a bad thing. He is the most innocent boy!
But no one disagreed, they don't want to be noticed.
We put him in the another room and locked. How unfortunate boy!

Suddenly someone shouted.

"Look!! I found this message attached to the bulletin board.
