Draven woke up in his own sweat. Everything seemed disoriented for a second. There were loud noises all about, horns and ca

Draven found himself heading to his neighbor’s door. It was embarrassing, but dying of hunger after surviving the game would be a disgrace. He squeezed his eyes shut and knocked on the door.
