Simon, the instructor of the game, was a scourge and terrifying monster. He had very long legs and arms, as a spider, teeth were as sharp as a cold needle, and his eyes were as red as the blood.

He gave a sinister smile and said, “Simon says, run away in fi ve seconds.” All ten players began to sprint, as Simon started counting down: 5. They all ran faster, as Simone crept into the shadows within them. 4. It was getting darker and foggy out so it was hard to tell what direction they were running in. 3. Simon’s teeth sharpen some more, his long ugly nails grew from the tips. 2. The players were still running in no particular direction but straight. 1. Simon began his hunt. The dark and eerie monster was able to catch fi ve running players. He stabbed this sharped nail into each of their backs until the life from their eyes were gone. He dragged their lifeless bodies back to where they started. Simon smiled as he began to start a new game, “Simon says...be dead.” And the fi ve players listened.
