Needles

I am in a room with 5 other people. We are being forced to play a game. Whoever is keeping us captive gives us each a decision to make. We only have 3 minutes to make a decision and complete the task or we are killed. The first time we are all given a plastic cup. They tell us to either drink the liquid or pour it on the floor. I smell gasoline. I don’t drink. The next time they pick one person to finish a task in 3 minutes. The choose me. They lay out about 100 syringes and bottles with white liquid in them. I have three minute to inject myself with three needles. They tell me i have to inject it into my veins, not just my skin. I pick up the first needle and fill the syringe with liquid. I wrap a rubber band around my arm to find a vein. My vision starts to go blurry and i cant see. I start to freak out, not knowing where to put the needle into my arm. I try opening my eyes but its like they are glued shut. All i see is blackness. I hear people screaming. The harder i try to open my eyes the darker it gets. My time is up.
