    Summary

    The rules are simple—the only way to leave is to win or die. The only way to win is to kill everyone else and come out the sole survivor. The victor.

    It’s not real, of course, the disembodied voice had assured them. It was all a simulation. A game, if you will. But they were stuck until they played it, whether they liked it or not.

    Unfortunately, though, the brothers aren’t on the same page on how to deal with this situation.

    And real or not, the pain certainly is, and Mikey doesn’t want to die either way.

    Summary

    What was it people said? There’s beauty in tragedy?

    Mikey had never really got it. He liked happy endings. He liked stories to end pretty, with a bow on top and a funny end credits blooper reel. He liked bright colors and the chaos of happiness, of living wild and unafraid. He’d always thought tragedy was a cop-out for people who were too scared to dream big, too scared to dig in and really love life.

    But Mikey could kind of see it now, if he squinted just right. Could kind of get it. There really was something beautiful about it all. The rubble and the smudges of smoke across the sky, like smears of charcoal. The fires burning like neon orange highlighter in a world gone gray. The way a last ditch effort could feel like a dance, set to the tripping rhythm of a fear fast heartbeat.

    It was all raw expression, raw emotion. It felt like a soul stripped bare and screaming in rage-denial-determination. Burning as hot as it possibly could so, even if it burned out, it would leave a mark behind.

    Yeah, he thought. He got it now.

    When you knew you’d never see it again, even a world burning to the ground could be beautiful.
