The leader walked up on the stage and spoke into the microphone.
"Good morning, everyone," they said, "I know you're all looking forward to fun and games today. I'm proud to announce that the theme is nothing. There is no event. All year long, I struggled to match the prior years' events in terms of fun and sophistication. I give up. However, I don't want you to leave empty-handed. You are all invited to my suicide."
They pulled a gun out of their pocket and aimed it at their head.
"Perhaps this will give the future leaders here with us today some inspiration for what they can provide us in the years to come."
They pulled the trigger and fell lifelessly to the ground as everyone screamed. The administration told us to head back to our rooms.
I ran back to my room excited and stressed. It couldn't have been real. It was all a joke. Any minute now, they'll announce the events. They just wanted to do this for publicity! They wanted to kick things off with a bang!
I began to laugh. I could not tell if I was laughing at my attempt at humour or if it was a sign that I was losing my grip on reality.
I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to find paramedics. They asked how I was feeling and if I was alright after having witnessed such a traumatic event. I laughed in their faces and told them how good actors they were. I laughed and laughed before asking them when the first activity was and when it would start. They told me that all activities were canceled. However, due to my current state they also told me that I would need to come with them to be monitored due to my current condition.
I laughed as they dragged me away, shouting the leader's name and saying how impressed I was and how clever they were. I told them that I would prove to them that I am a genius. I would gain the right to avenge them! Soon it will be me up there, in the same spot where they died ready to become God if only for a weekend!
It's fun! I'm on the edge of my seat! They're going all out with this mental decay and insanity theme! The doctors have tabs on me! They monitor what I consume, and I still have yet to leave all this padding! I love it! This is the best fucking weekend of my life! I never want to leave! I'M SO GLAD I JOINED THIS COMMUNITY! IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS JUST LIKE ME! THEY ARE ME! ONE DAY I WILL BECOME THEM! I'LL USURP THEM! I THANK GOD FOR THIS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN THIS STATE OF MIND! I HEAR THEIR LAUGHS TARGET ME! WHAT FUN! IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY! NO ONE LAUGHS BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO BREAK THIS WONDERFUL ILLUSION! I AM NOW GOD!
