“Conference room, at twelve. Be there on time.” Amanda’s boss peeked into her office.
She worked for one of the giant corporations that had emerged during the years. There were about ten corporations that were selling eighty percent of things one could buy, ranging from food to electronics, from life insurance to apartments and houses. Amanda was working in the transportation marketing department. There were several groups of workers working independently, each focusing on something else. Amanda was the leader to a small team of people whose sole purpose was to make marketing strategies for the car selling branch of the corporation in her country. Their main focus was online campaigns.
As Amanda got to the conference room, she could see every team leader was already impatiently sitting in their seat. Twenty people, all waiting for the boss, were trying to figure out what was up.
“Are they firing?” A man thought out loud. Amanda couldn’t remember his name.
“I have heard that we acquired C-corp.” Sally said. She was one of the few people Amanda could call a friend at her job.
“I’m sure you are all wondering why I have called you here today.” The boss said as he had finally entered the room.
“You don’t need to worry, none of you are getting fired. Today.” He smiled. “Some of you may leave us soon.” He added in a more serious tone.
“We are expanding to Asia. It seems like our cars are getting more and more popular in the east and we decided to open up an office in Tokyo. We are looking for a manager who will lead the marketing department. One of you will get the chance to move on from being a manager to a small team of coworkers to being the head of the whole department. The position, of course, comes with benefits: housing in the center of Tokyo and a very nice pay raise. The office should be opened in about two months. The decision of who will be the head of the marketing department in Tokyo will be done in a month. Meaning, all of you have a month to come up with all the reasons why you should be the next face of our company’s marketing team in Asia. I assume every last one of you is interested. If I am mistaken, please correct me now.” The boss explained the situation.
“This is my chance.” Amanda almost shouted out loud. This was the perfect opportunity for her to get the money she had always dreamt of.
She had been working for the company for five years. She came as a successful, well accomplished marketing persona with a hope to move up in the ladder. But after being the leader to her five coworkers, Amanda felt like her progress stagnated. This finally sounded like a chance to get her dream job, to climb the ladder and get the position she thought she had deserved a long time ago.
“Japan!” Sally had been in love with the country for a long time.
Sally had been obsessed with Japanese culture ever since high school. The cuisine, the music, the traditions and simply everything about the country fascinated her so much one would not believe it. She imagined it to be the perfect place for living. She was amazed by the technological development the country had been making over the past years.
Sally had taken several trips to Japan, visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and some smaller villages. But the big cities such as Tokyo were the ones that had truly charmed her. Getting lost in a crowd of millions of people and seeing all the local vendors offer all kinds of food, toys and clothing was something Sally knew she would never forget. Having the option to live in Japan while making tons of money was a dream come true.
“I will do anything to get the job.” Sally thought to herself.
She knew the upcoming month would be hard. An opportunity such as this was one in a lifetime and there were twenty people in the room, all already imagining themselves in Japan. Sally and Amanda were both fully aware that the competition would be merciless. There surely would be intrigues, foul plays, backstabbing and all the malicious practices you could think of.
“As no one has said a word I’m counting with all of you. We will meet here next week as we shall slowly reduce the number of our candidates. Half of you will be eliminated from the candidate pool by the next week. Use the following week to impress me and the others. Give me all the reasons in the world to choose you. The only thing that is important for me is your work. Let it speak for you. Remind us of what you have accomplished, come up with something new. I know that all of you are working on different projects right now so show us your progress, come up with new, groundbreaking ideas. Your job for the next week is to make progress on the projects you are currently working on as well as to send me an email containing your best campaign.” The boss set the tasks straight.
“You can leave now; we will meet in exactly a week. Get back to work.” He dismissed all of them.
Sally bumped into Amanda as she was leaving.
“Japan sounds fantastic, doesn’t it!” Sally was clearly excited about the opportunity.
Amanda knew about Sally’s obsession with Japan. They used to grab coffee from time to time to chat about life and what not. Working in such a big corporation required a lot of time and so naturally both of them found themselves having less and less time for rendezvous outside of work.
“Yeah, it does. It’s your dream to live in Japan, isn’t it?” Amanda asked her even though she knew the answer.
“It is! I must win! I will do anything in my power to do so. But I think I have a fair shot. I’ve been working here for years.” Sally said.
She was right. Sally had been working in the department for fifteen years. She got there right after finishing college and slowly moved from being an ordinary worker to becoming the leader of her own small group. But as the years had passed, Sally stagnated too. Her and Amanda had a similar fate. The beginnings of their careers looked promising, but they haven’t been getting anywhere. While Amanda still had a lot of time to move up the ladder, Sally did not. She was soon about to be 38 and had felt like she should have been somewhere else in her life by then.
Amanda was surprised how old Sally was. When they first met, Sally was 33. Amanda would have guessed she must have been 25 at most.
Sally was using the benefits of the corporation to the fullest. She would visit the gym four times a week before work, would eat healthy, would run and go to spas as often as possible.
Amanda was driving home and the only thing on her mind was how to get the position in Japan. It was all she could think of.
Amanda’s first step was to learn everything about anyone that she was competing against. She had asked her assistant to dig out everything compromising about each team leader. Especially their dark secrets, illegal deeds and anything that could possibly disqualify them from the race.
Being an ambitious person such as Amanda came with knowing everyone important in her department. Amanda knew that people whose names she didn’t know had no real shot in getting the position. Getting them out of the race quicker, by her own making was only a fun distraction to her.
“The real problem is going to be the people I actually know.” Amanda pondered on her way home.
She knew that the two of the prime candidates were her and Sally. They had been working in the company for years and both had very promising results.
“How do I deal with Sally?” Was the biggest question that needed solving.
They had gotten quite close during the past years. Even though they weren’t having their chit chat coffee breaks anymore, they would still talk to each other from time to time. Besides, Amanda had gotten to know Sally quite well. So well it now troubled Amanda. She knew Sally was the most innocent person on the face of the planet. She had never done anything wrong. She was a law abiding citizen, she never slept in and she certainly never got mad at her coworkers. Sally would never cross any boundaries or raise any red flags. Amanda knew Sally would not play dirty to get the position. This was an advantage to Amanda. She played by no rules. The only thing that she was interested in was the position in Japan. Hurting Sally’s feelings wasn’t something she would consider a problem if it meant getting the position.
As soon as Sally came home, she started working on her portfolio, looking over all the work she had done during her long years in the company. She was thinking about her competition.
“Amanda will be a tough opponent.” Sally knew how ambitious her friend was. But she was hoping to have a fair fight. They were friends after all.
“Maybe I could try and convince her to give up the position for me. She knows how much I love Japan. I’m sure her opportunity will come in no time. Amanda is still quite young.” Sally thought.
While working on her portfolio, Sally decided to turn on the TV to use it as background noise. It was exactly eight, meaning The Mortal Games were on. The show was running for a couple of years now. Sally had always found it dumb.
“A show where two people fight to death? Why would I want to watch that? Stupid shows are really all people need these days.” Sally quickly rejected the idea of enjoying the show. But as she listened in more and more, Sally was unable to avoid it.
“Maybe I should give it a chance.” Sally began watching the show.
It was an episode with two guys fighting on a beach. Despite her surprise, Sally had soon chosen her favorite.
“Come on, finish him!” Sally found herself shouting at the screen.
The Mortal Games had become a guilty pleasure of Sally’s from that point on. She would not miss an episode. It aired every Wednesday from eight to ten. Every week, Sally would find someone to cheer for. Sally felt a weird feeling of compassion for the poor people who were forced by the life circumstances to end up in such a situation.
“I can’t imagine being in a situation that would lead me there.” Sally felt sad, watching yet another couple of men fighting for their lives just to put on a show for the more fortunate ones.
Sally decided to have a talk with Amanda the next day. She had to try and ask Amanda to leave the position for her.
The next day, as Sally was leaving her office for lunch, she stopped by Amanda’s office.
“I’m going to the restaurant down the street, the one we used to go together, want to join me?” Sally proposed to Amanda after greeting her.
“Alright, sure, let me just finish something, five minutes.” Amanda told her.
She wasn’t really surprised. Amanda, thinking about all the scenarios that could happen predicted that Sally would come to her. After all, Sally was not the type of person who would backstab someone because of a work position, even if it was in Japan. She would try to be as sweet as possible, offering you anything just to let her get it.
Once they got to the restaurant, Amanda was waiting for Sally to start.
“What campaign have you chosen as one you want to pinpoint to the committee?” Sally asked her. She was trying to have a small talk before asking Amanda for anything.
“I don’t know yet, there are several I have to choose from. What about you?” Amanda had no intentions of telling Sally anything.
“I chose the one we used for the introduction of model DV, I think it was my best one.” Sally decided to tell Amanda the truth, to soften her a bit.
“Yeah, that was a good one. You should definitely be proud of it!” Amanda was pretending to be nice. She knew exactly what Sally was trying to achieve.
“Yeah, I’m really hoping to get the position. You know that Japan has always been my dream country. I would do anything to get it.” Sally got carried away.
“Would you?” Amanda asked her, teasingly.
“Yes! It’s almost as if the position was made for me. After years and years of working in the company, I really feel like I deserve to move somewhere. And moving to Japan, to a better position, straight to executive position? What else could I wish for.” Sally explained.
“I see.” Amanda replied, attempting to seem as if she didn’t already know.
“Besides, I’m not getting any younger. I’ll soon be 40 and I think it’s the time for me to do something with my life. I don’t really feel like spending my whole life working as a team leader in our department.” Sally was getting personal.
“I know what you mean.” Amanda had to agree with Sally. Even though she was nine years younger, Amanda felt stuck in her job as well. And she was willing to change it under any circumstances.
“But you are still quite young yourself. At your age, I was so happy to be a team leader! I was the youngest one back then, it seems like times are really changing. More and more young people are getting the positions I could only dream of when I was their age.” Sally started talking.
“That’s why I wanted to talk to you actually. I know you really want the position as well. We have talked many times about this. I know you are a really ambitious person and want to get it all. But you are still really young. In comparison to me. And I’m sure with your talent and ambition, you will get such a position soon. But for me, this might be the breakpoint in between actually achieving something and getting stuck in the job I’m doing right now forever. Could you maybe consider backing off from the race, to show me support? I’d be so grateful! I would give you anything you wish for!” Sally said it with all the courage she had in her. Asking Amanda for such a favor was quite hard.
“I- I don’t know what to say.” Amanda started talking slowly.
Amanda would never do anything like what was being asked of her. She saw the position as hers but was trying to keep a friendly relationship between the two of them. She may use Sally’s friendship during the race.
“You don’t have to answer right now. But please, at least consider it. The meeting is next Wednesday, which is still six days from now on. We could meet on Monday and discuss it?” Sally proposed.
“Alright, Monday it is. We can grab lunch together again.” Amanda agreed. As they finished their meals, they headed back to the office.
“What have you found?” Amanda asked her assistant as she sat on her chair.
“Here is the list. Name of everyone along with anything I could dig out. Some things are pretty spicy. I would say about half of people are out of race just based on my findings. And the rest is at least useful in getting the upper hand over them. There is only one person I could find nothing interesting about.” Assistant handed a couple of papers to Amanda.
“Sally.” Amanda sighed. There was nothing next to her name.
“Yes, you are or were quite close, weren’t you?” The assistant asked Amanda.
“Yes, we were, I just had lunch with her. She asked me to withdraw from the race and to back her as the candidate for the position.” Amanda said.
“Will you do it?” The assistant asked her.
“No way. I’m going to Japan.” Amanda was dead serious about getting the position.
“Try to find something about her. Dig deeper. Use any tools you can. Anything you can find. The position in Japan will most likely come with an assistant so do your job and you will be
going with me. I’m sure your salary will double, if not triple.” Amanda tried to motivate her assistant.
“I’m right on it.” The assistant left the office, leaving Amanda with the list.
“What should I do with you.” Amanda was thinking about the list. Sending it to her boss just like that would be useless. Her name not being on it would be a clear say of who made the list and Amanda didn’t want that. She decided to hold on to the list, waiting for the next meeting. She knew for sure she would get among the ten people that would continue in the race for the position and then she could one by one try and eliminate other candidates. Realistically, Amanda knew her and Sally were prime candidates for the position. The question of how to get rid of Sally was still an unsolved mystery.
As the days were passing by, the tension in the office was steadily increasing. Each team was working overtime and made sure to do their best every day. The team leaders were being stricter than ever, not letting their coworkers slack a bit.
The inevitable conversation came.
“Have you thought about my offer?” Sally had prepared a sleek entrance to their upcoming conversation. Her and Amanda were having lunch in the restaurant near to their workplace.
“I have.” Amanda replied, making herself comfortable in her seat. Her voice sounded troubled and she sighed upon speaking up.
“And?” Sally was restless. She could sense what the answer was going to be based on the tone Amanda had used, but still, she kept her hopes up.
“I can’t do it Sally, I’m sorry. It’s too big of an opportunity for me to just give it up out of courtesy.” Amanda briefly explained while looking away.
“It’s alright. It was probably too much to ask for anyway.” Sally explained, leaning back into her chair.
“Well, it’s finally coming to an end.” She spoke up again. “May the best one win.” Sally added after a short pause, not really meaning what she had just said.
The following days were not particularly interesting. Both Amanda and Sally made sure to work the best they could, almost desperately trying to prove they were both better than the other.
“I’m glad to see you all. It had been quite a long week.” Their boss opened the meeting. It had already been Wednesday and twenty people were eagerly awaiting the boss’s verdict.
“I’d like to thank all of you for taking such interest in the position. We have gone through every one of your projects, and I have to say, I was rather impressed with the amount of work that was put into each one of them. We, me and the management, have ranked your projects from worst to best. I obviously can’t say who the favorites are, but I can tell you there are two or three people who we are considering the most.” The boss continued.
“Me and Sally are definitely among those.” Amanda pondered.
“Since we only have one position, we have come up with a way to eliminate those of you who we feel would not be the right fit for the position. I have a list of ten names in front of me. If I read your name, please get up and leave the room immediately. You are out of the race.” The boss explained.
Name by name, faces that were unknown to Amanda were leaving the conference room. She recognized the names, but would have failed if you would have asked her to describe the people who the names belonged to.
As the tenth person left the room, the tension had quickly left. Amanda’s colleagues seemed to be nervous, fearing they would hear their name. This wasn’t the case for Amanda. She knew she was high up in the list of candidates and thus did not fear the first process of elimination.
“That leaves the ten of you. Congratulations for making it through. Before we get back to work, there is one more thing I would like to touch up on. Greg, stand up and leave the room. If you think sending me an anonymous document packed with compromising material about your colleagues will help you, it certainly will not. I would have advised you to include yourself too, for the sake of believability. After all, I did not have to do a lot of digging to find out who the list was made by.” The boss got a little bit furious.
He loved the idea. He enjoyed watching each one of his workers compete against one another in a greedy attempt of getting the position. Such qualities are, after all, needed for one to succeed in the corporate world, especially in executive positions.
“What an amateur.” Amanda thought to herself. She was glad her list was still in her drawer. Amanda was however wondering what Greg’s list had about her. And about Sally. “Maybe I could talk to Greg and try to find out.” Amanda noted it in her mind.
“So, this leaves nine of you. The committee who is in charge of choosing the one for the position decided to speed up the things a little. Next week, only two of you will remain. That means, you have one week to prove to us that you belong to the top two workers in our department. Do everything in your power to do that. Be creative. Be insidious. Be malicious. You can do whatever to prove your worth to this company. Now go and work out your plan. The clock is ticking. Seven days and your dream job might slip out of your fingers. Will you let it slip?” The boss ended the meeting.
“It’s going to be me and Sally anyway. But what should I do to keep it on the right track?” Amanda was trying to come up with a plan, something she could do.
Suddenly, she realized what to do.
About a year ago, Amanda was working late overtime. She thought she was the last one in the department as it was around ten in the night. Amanda, being single, had no reason to rush home and chose to stay and finish her work. As she was walking out of her office and passing through many empty aisles, she could suddenly hear a muffled noise coming out of her boss’s office. She carefully approached the door. As she placed her ear on the door, she could hear the sounds were in fact a woman’s moans.
“Meghan you are godly.” Her boss grunted.
“Meghan?” Amanda was sure the wife of her boss was Lucy, not Meghan. She quickly realized what was going on. The next day Amanda was introduced to her boss’s new secretary,
Meghan. Amanda had kept it for herself up until now, but all secrets are bound to eventually come out.
She decided to pay a visit to her boss after finishing her work for the day. She was instructed to come in after knocking exactly two times.
“What can I do for you, Amanda?” Her boss asked her in a surprising hurry.
“I’d just like to have a quick chat about the position in Japan.” Amanda opened up the conversation.
“You? Don’t tell me you are willing to offer me certain services for getting you the position. I wouldn’t think of you as someone who would sleep with a boss just to get a promotion.” He laughed.
“You are right, I’m not the type of employee to sleep with someone just to get a raise or a better position. But I know someone who is. And I think you know her as well.” Amanda smiled back at her boss.
“Really?” The face of Amanda’s boss quickly changed. He became much more serious.
“I’m sure you know your secretary Meghan. And I’m sure you don’t want Lucy to know about her ways of getting up the corporate ladder. Or do you?” Amanda asked him, enjoying her every word.
“Are you blackmailing me?” The boss tried to scare Amanda by sounding confident.
“I just know that divorces can get ugly. Besides, you have kids. It would not be a very good situation to get yourself into.” Amanda was smiling widely.
“What do you want?” The boss hissed back at her.
“Next week, me and Sally will remain as the last two. The week after that, I will be announced the one getting the position. I think it doesn’t really change your plans, but I wanted to be sure that we are on the same page.” Amanda explained her requirements.
“Alright, you have it. It was the plan all along anyway. We just wanted to make it a little bit exciting. It’s good when people try their best. Helps the company. We have chosen you as the winner even before announcing the competition. I am honestly glad you will be leaving after what you have just done. I’m sure you won’t get lost in Japan.” The boss smiled back at her. This was the best outcome she could have hoped for.
They both left the office satisfied. The boss headed home to his loving wife while Amanda was off to a bar. She had some celebrating to do.
It came as no surprise when Amanda and Sally were announced as the two finalists. Sally seemed to be over the moon as the meeting was coming to an end.
“I can’t believe I’m this close. It feels like I’ve almost got it! Congratulations to you as well! I knew it would be the two of us. We deserve it the most.” Sally was talking to Amanda on their way back to the offices.
“Yeah, I guess you are right.” Amanda wasn’t that excited. Already knowing the outcome, it was hard for her to appear happy. She had already done her fair share of celebrating.
The boss decided to publicly announce the winner during the upcoming week. Twenty team leaders were called into the conference room. Amanda and Sally were sitting at the head of the table. Sally was so tense! Amanda, on the other hand, seemed way too relaxed about the whole situation.
“This has been a tough choice. Sally, Amanda, you are both exemplary workers. Every boss could dream of having you in their department. And yet, one of you will soon leave me and head to Japan. I’m both excited for you but at the same time, sad, because one of you will no longer work for us. Believe me when I say that you will be missed. Amanda, I believe Japan will do you more than good after all that you’ve achieved over the years.” As the boss said Amanda’s name, the room started buzzing. Everyone rushed to Amanda to congratulate her. Everyone except Sally.
Sally was devastated. She kept sitting still, not able to move. She just saw her dream vanish in before her eyes. She had no words, no emotions. Sally felt like hysterically crying, but couldn’t. She sat still.
As the last person congratulated Amanda, they all left the conference room. Sally slowly stood up and headed to her office without saying a word. She sat down in her chair and did nothing for the rest of the day.
When it was time to go home, Sally slowly packed all her things and headed out. Sorrow had taken over her. She thought about how she will never get such an opportunity again. As she got home, she turned on the TV, changed into an old t-shirt and grabbed a bottle of wine from the pantry. It was Wednesday and the Mortal Games were on. Sally, drinking the wine directly from the bottle, laid on her couch, senselessly watching two people fight. As the bottle was getting empty, Sally noticed how angry she had gotten.
“Finish him!” She shouted at the TV as one of the participants was beating up the other one.
It was that moment that a brilliant idea had crossed Sally’s mind. “I will make her fight for the position. That’s it!” She grinned and dropped the empty bottle.
“I have to challenge her publicly. She can’t refuse it if I do it this way. She can’t show how weak she is.” Sally felt a sudden bolt of energy and power rush through her. She felt hope. The position may not be lost yet. Not completely.
The next thing Sally did was get a contact for the producer of The Mortal Games. Luckily for Sally, during her years working for the company, she had acquired many contacts and had no troubles getting what she needed. After a quick call and a confirmation, Sally was now sure that The Mortal Games would welcome two young, attractive ladies who would fight each other for a prestigious position.
“Don’t celebrate yet Amanda. You don’t know what is awaiting you.” Sally fell asleep while thinking out her brilliant plan.
Everyone was surprised to see Sally at work the next day. She was glowing! Full of energy, with a big smile on her face. One would expect a person to be devastated after not getting their dream position, but not Sally.
Sally went from office to office, inviting all twenty team leaders to the conference room before the lunch break. Amanda was the last one to get an invite.
“What is she going to do?” Amanda was surprised, but her curiosity got the better out of her. As all her coworkers got to the conference room, Sally decided to be straight forward.
“The reason I decided to call in all of you is fairly simple. Amanda, I’d like to challenge you to a fight on The Mortal Games. I have already made an arrangement. The duel would happen two weeks from now on. Now, I’m sure you know what The Mortal Games are. We would essentially fight to death. The winner shall get the position and 500 000 dollars on top.” Shock, surprise and smiles could all be seen on the faces of the people who had been called into the conference room.
But the main star kept silent. Amanda was thinking of what to do. She didn’t really feel like risking her life for the position but knew that not accepting the duel would make her appear as a coward.
“She is good.” Amanda thought to herself.
“Very good.” She was actually quite impressed with Sally.
“I accept the challenge.” Amanda had no other option.
Amanda’s advantage was clear. She was way younger than Sally and in better shape. Even though Sally was a regular at the gym, the age had caught up to her.
The next two weeks were hectic for both of the women. They had to pass several tests, proving that they were mentally and physically fit for the show.
“You are going to wear these.” Both girls were visiting the set a week before their fight would take place. The producer of the show handed them spandex onesies. Amanda got a red one, while Sally was given a yellow one.
“So the spectators can distinguish you easily.” He explained.
“Try them on, the changing rooms are right behind this corner.” The producer showed them the way.
As they had changed, both of them realized how uncomfortable it was to have underwear under the suits. Thinking nothing of it, they got back to the producer.
“You both look stunning!” He was amazed. Both women had very slim, slender bodies, which looked even better now that they were being hugged tight by the spandex onesies. All their curves would be on display for every one of the viewers.
“This episode is going to be a hit!” The producer could already see the viewership hitting record numbers.
“Do not worry. Should the onesies rip during the fight and reveal some of your intimate parts, we’ve got it all covered. Compensations usually go up to 40 000$. But only for the winner, you see.” The producer was trying to motivate them into making a show for all the viewers.
“I now need you to come with me to shoot a short interview so the viewers have an idea of who you are and why have you chosen our show. Just a little profile of yourself.” The producer led them to the studio.
Seven days had flown by fast and it was finally time for both of them to stand up to their deed.
“Live, from The Mortal Games arena, I present to you Amanda in the red and Sally in the yellow! We have already seen their profiles, and I have to say, today’s fight is surely going to be memorable!” The presenter of the show announced.
“The game is on!” He shouted and left the arena, leaving the two by themselves.
The arena itself was huge. The Mortal Games were stationed in an old airport hallway, which they had filled with various obstacles, along with different kinds of tools that the participants might or might not use during the fight. All the tools that could be used as weapons were rather hidden so Amanda and Sally would have to try and find them.
Amanda and Sally were both standing on the opposite sides of the hallway. All the obstacles, hidden weapons, small artificial hills, even a small water stream stood between them. They couldn’t even see each other yet. This gave them an opportunity to look for weapons or to try and hide, surprising their enemy by jumping on them.
Sally and Amanda began to slowly make their way towards each other as the words of the show presenter echoed through the hall. After walking through the hills, passing the water streams, both of them were soon facing each other, in a small, flat area in the middle of the hallway.
“You are going down.” Amanda started with the talking.
“I’m going to Japan, while you are going to have your ass beaten.” Sally quickly answered.
“Bitch, the position is mine. I was chosen, because I am younger than you, smarter than you and more attractive than you. You are just a pathetic piece of shit who spent 40 years of her miserable life stuck in the same city, dreaming about Japan instead of actually getting up and achieving your goals.” Amanda was quickly getting angry.
She felt like the fight was unfair. She got the position because she was just straight up better and more successful than Sally, and still, she had to fight for her life just because Sally couldn’t take the loss. Amanda wanted it to be over quickly so she could focus on Japan.
“I told you to give up the position to me. You didn’t and that was a mistake you will pay for today.” Sally reminded Amanda of her request.
This only made Amanda more furious. She did not owe a damn thing to Sally! Why would she give up the position, especially after working so hard to get it? Just because they were friends didn’t mean that Amanda was willing to give Sally whatever she would ask her for.
Amanda has had enough. She dashed towards Sally, knocking her down to the ground. The ground itself was surprisingly soft as it was covered in soil, making the hit not as painful as it would otherwise be.
The Mortal Games were all about the length. The longer the fight would go on, the better for the show. The fight that would be over in just a few minutes wasn’t that interesting for the viewers.
Amanda got on top of Sally, who was laying down on her back.
“Let’s make the win worth it.” Amanda remembered what the producer had said about ripping their onesies.
Amanda buried her long, sharp nails into the area in between Sally’s breasts. Amanda’s nails had no trouble tearing through the thin spandex. Amanda forcefully ripped the onesies apart, revealing Sally’s round, perky breasts.
“That’s the whole bag for me.” Amanda was now ready to destroy Sally and to win it all, including the position, the money and the fame that would come with it.
She furiously slapped Sally across her face, enjoying humiliating Sally.
“You should have never challenged me.” She said, before slapping Sally the second time.
Amanda pinned Sally’s hands down with her legs, kneeling on Sally’s wrists. She grabbed Sally’s neck and began choking her, trying to end it as fast as possible.
“You will die live on TV! How does it feel?! Having all the eyes on you while you suffocate with your breasts out for everyone to see?!” Amanda hissed. She was getting all her anger out while holding Sally by her neck as Sally wheezed and kicked, with her breath running out fast.
Sally was desperately trying to get free. She knew should this go on, she would die. But how? How would she possibly get out of this situation? It felt like Amanda was way too strong and the position she had gotten herself into was most likely fatal for Sally. She tried to focus, even if she was being choked. She remembered Japan. She remembered it was the reason as to why she was on the show to begin with. That’s why she risked her life, why she was topless on national TV, getting choked by her friend. The thought of Japan filled Sallys head with hope. It was not over yet. She lifted herself using her sheer power, managing to slip her arms from under Amanda’s legs. Sally then pushed Amanda down off her. Amanda was caught by surprise, falling down on her butt but quickly getting up. Sally managed to get on her feet in the meantime, frantically coughing and distancing herself from Amanda. Amanda did not wait a second and attacked Sally again, jumping towards her and forcing her onto the ground again. Sally was faster to react this time, quickly punching Amanda in her left breast using her fist and getting her to back off for a second. Amanda instinctively grabbed and fondled her breast, trying to ease the pain. That was Sally’s chance. She, still on the ground, ran her fingers through the soil and got a handful into her hand, closing it shut and quickly turning back to Amanda. Sally got up and jumped at Amanda, shouting and smearing soil all over her face. Amanda shouted.
“Yooouuuu bitch!” The soil was getting into her eyes as Sally continued to rub it onto her face, causing it to get into her airways and her mouth and she breathed in. Amanda staggered, taking a step back while frantically coughing. She was disoriented and all she could smell and taste was the damp soil that now covered her whole face. Just when she thought Sally was done, she felt her hit her in the right breast. A sharp spear of pain bolted through her body as Amanda cried out! She fell down onto her butt. Not being able to see anything, she tried to crawl away, not knowing what Sally was to do. Just as she was crawling away, she brushed against some kid of a rod that must have been shallowly buried beneath the ground. Not having a better option, Amanda immediately grabbed it and pulled it out. It was a thick, wooden stick!
Sally was grinning. It had felt like the win was finally close. Amanda was blinded for at least two minutes, which was enough for Sally to finish her. She dashed forward, intending to jump
straight onto Amanda to suffocate her with her own body. It was already too late when Sally saw Amanda frantically wave a thick wooden stick in front of her. Sally had already made the dash and could not go back. Amanda did not know how lucky she was when Sally practically threw herself onto the rod! It had hit her belly, ripping up an ugly wound on her belly as the rod tore apart her skin layer, leaving a painful wound. She fell down next to Amanda, completely limp and screaming. Amanda did not initially understand what had happened, but was not planning on finding out. She took her chance and got up, quickly running away, trying to clean her face and open her eyes.
Sally laid still. The injury looked worse than it was, but that did not mean Sally wasn’t in excruciating pain. She was in shock, hoping Amanda would not attack her as she knew this would be her last moments if she did. Thankfully for her, Amanda had other priorities.
“Sally seems to be shaken up! Will she be able to recover and stand up again? Find out after a quick word from our sponsor!” The narrator announced.
A few minutes had gone by and Sally had finally gotten herself together. Her wound hurt, but was not requiring immediate professional attention. She got her priorities straight and decided that the injury was not going to tear apart her dream of going to Japan.
She decided to flee. Sally decided to try and find a weapon she could use against Amanda, to give her a better chance of winning the fight. Sally quickly turned around and ran back towards where she stood at the beginning. Her breasts were bouncing up and down, which the viewers certainly enjoyed.
Amanda decided not to follow Sally. She knew what Sally was trying to do and decided to find a weapon of her own. Heading back, Amanda got to the small water stream crossing the hallway. The water itself was surrounded by earth. Amanda was looking around the water as she guessed that a weapon could be somewhere around it. After a minute or two of looking, Amanda spotted a small piece of wood buried under the water. As Amanda touched the water with her hand, she was surprised by the temperature of it. It was pleasurably warm, just the right temperature for a bath.
“How I would love a bath right now.” Ran through her mind.
Digging in the dirt, Amanda pulled out a baseball bat.
“This will do nicely.” She grabbed the bat by the handle and swung it around in an attempt to test it.
Sally herself had found a weapon too. She decided to get on top of a small hill to have a look around. As she was climbing up, her hand touched something rather cold. Closely inspecting it, Sally pulled out a steel rod about the length of a baseball bat. The producers of the show made sure that the weapons would all be fairly similar, so that there would be no ultimate weapon.
When both Sally and Amanda had what they needed, it was time to get back to one another. Amanda decided to stay where she was. She found herself a spot near the water where she could hide behind a small stone wall. Ducking down, Amanda’s intention was to wait for Sally.
After Sally found the rod, she kept on climbing up. As she got on the top of the hill, she tried to look around for Amanda, but with no success.
“I have to find that bitch.” Sally was furious. She was beyond mad about her breasts getting exposed and for all the people to see. She knew that this would follow her for the rest of her life. What Sally had no idea of was how long her life is going to be with the current situation.
Sally quickly got off the hill and headed towards where Amanda had initially started. As she got to the water stream, Sally noticed the water was muddy. Amanda had found something useful.
“She was here and found something.” Sally realized.
“Maybe she is still close.” Sally immediately froze.
“There she comes.” Amanda could hear Sally stopping by the water. She was waiting for Sally to cross the stream so she could attack. She could quickly burst out of her hiding place and hit Sally from behind.
“Fuck it, I’m not falling into a trap.” Sally thought. She knew Amanda was nearby.
“Come out you bitch and fight fairly with me! I’m not falling for any of your tricks!” Sally shouted. Her voice cracked.
“I know you are here.” She added, hoping for a reaction.
“Does she really know?” Amanda was trying to guess.
“Did she find any weapons?” Amanda pondered what could be the best thing to do.
“Come on, let’s make it quick. I’m sure it’s boring for people to watch you hiding and sneaking around. Fight me!” Sally doubled down.
“Fine.” Amanda shouted, standing up.
“I see you have found yourself a tool.” Sally pointed at Amanda’s baseball bat. “You have found something yourself.” Amanda looked at Sally’s steel rod.
Both of them were planning on being more careful from then on. One bad move and everything could have been over.
Slowly approaching each other, the first one to strike was Amanda. She attempted to hit Sally in her legs, but Sally quickly jumped backwards, dodging the hit.
“It’s not gonna be that easy.” Sally smiled at Amanda.
“How do you like the whole word looking at your saggy tits? Must feel nice.” Amanda was trying to throw Sally off.
“I don’t mind. They will watch me kill you soon.” Sally said. She was slowly getting closer to Amanda, who was taking steps backward.
Sally had a plan. She knew the water stream was just a few feet behind Amanda. She was slowly and carefully forcing Amanda into a trap without her even knowing.
Amanda was too focused on Sally to notice the stream behind her. As she took one more step, her foot didn’t land where she would expect it to. It submerged in the water and immediately took Amanda by surprise. She had almost lost balance. She got back on the ground, taking a step towards Sally.
Sally used this moment to quickly dash towards Amanda. Just as Amanda’s foot landed back on the ground, Sally’s steel rod hit Amanda’s chest, sending her down to the ground right away.
She tried to hit Sally, but Amanda’s baseball bat was not long enough to actually reach her. It was of no use. As Amanda was struggling to stand up, Sally decided to not prolong the show for any longer. She hit Amanda right into her head. The dull sound of the object hitting Amanda’s skull echoed through the hall as Amanda got knocked out.
Before Sally was to end it, she decided to have a little fun. She ripped Amanda’s whole onesie apart, revealing not only her small, perky breasts, but also her hairless pink pussy as well. Sally wanted to properly humiliate Amanda before ending it once and for all.
Once Amanda was totally naked, Sally dragged her moveless body over to the stream and threw it into the water. Holding Amanda’s head under the surface for about two minutes, Sally was sure Amanda was dead.
“This is it. I got the position.” Sally realized once she let go of Amanda’s body.
Sally knew she was to celebrate, but a strange feeling had washed over her. The realization of what she had done.
“I- I killed. I killed.” Sally had fully realized what she had just done.
Before she could say anything else, the filming crew had surrounded her.
“And the winner is Sally! As you could all see, it was a ruthless fight, but we finally have our winner!” The narrator announced using a mindless voice, standing right next to Sally.
But Sally was silent. She stood still, frozen in the moment, repeating “I killed.” in her head over and over.
The End
