《Writers Game: Whodunnit?》Task Four Males
Advertisement
As we walked into the overgrown hedge maze, the sky seemed to darken. Lillian, Charlotte, and I walked in together. We decided to split up when there was a fork in the road.
There was a three way path. One to the right, one to the left, and one going straight. Great, split up at the start, I thought. "So who's taking which path?" Charlotte asked unenthusiastically.
"I'll take right," Lillian declared.
"I guess I'll do left," I said.
"So that leaves me with center! Cool! She'll we get started?" Charlotte asked.
"We shall. And best of luck to the three of us."
As we walked away from one another, I could hear a distant grunting-whining noise. I kept following the path until I came to a split in the maze.
"Shit. Now which way do I go?... Forwards."
I kept wandering. I knew Hagan was in front of me so I stayed farther back so she wouldn't notice me. I looked around the corner and could've sworn Hagan was there. But she wasn't. All I saw were some rattling bushes.
Not too much later, I heard a blood curdling scream that seemed to get muffled.
"Charlotte! Lillian!" I called, panicking.
"We're both good!" They called back.
As I ran, now sure there was no sign of Hagan, I peered around every corner. When I peered around the last one, I saw a trio of people, Sabrina, Nathaniel, and Alexander, all sitting in the middle, tied up and duct tape over their mouths.
Sabrina saw me and let out a grunt as she shook her head furiously.
"Don't worry," I said, "it's not me."
She kept shaking her head, tears now running down her cheeks. I took a step closer and I felt a tug at my ankle. I look down to see a silver trip wire stretched out. I heard a clicking noise and out came three arrows from the hedge, hitting the three of them dead in the forehead.

I almost passed out. Seeing them dead is one thing but seeing it happen and being the cause of it, really hurt me. I heard a bell and assumed that meant that it had ended. I walked out of the maze to see everyone standing there, staring at me.
"S-sorry," I stammered.
Charlotte nodded and walked me to the parlor.
"What happened?!" The girls both asked.
I told them my story and who I was to evict.
When it came time for the eviction ceremony, I got up and stated my case.
"... And I vote to evict Hagan."

Fragments of Glass
before the 1939-1945 War, most churches in England had stained glass windows, but despite local people's best efforts many of these windows were smashed in the bombing. What could be repaired was repaired, but in many churches all they could do was reassemble the remaining fragments randomly, with extra bits of clear glass added to eke them out to fill the windows. That is what I imagined for my collection of short stories: fragments of stained glass, bits of robe, bits of faces, all sorts of odds and ends randomly stuck together. And with quite a lot of clear fragments among the coloured ones. Just broken pieces of stories that anyone can look through.

Lord of cauldrons
A man reincarnated to a world where cultivation ruled supreme. One were even practices like human cauldrons and dual cultivation was commonplace and a part of the culture. What was not commonplace was treating these cauldrons with any ounce of respect or affection. These cauldrons were like pills or potions to be used and consumed or thrown away. They were often just a stepping stone in one's immortal path. One man thought, "What if they were my immortal path." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My chinese knowledge is limited to wuxia/xianxia books and cultivator games and I will only follow it loosely, I have my own cultivation system which will be basis for this story The reason I am writing this is because I have yet to find a dual cultivation story that has something I really wanted to read. Using the 'cauldrons' like Pokémon and the 'cauldrons' being the main source of power. I will update this at a minimum of once per week.
