[ WP ] You live in a dystopian future where anyone who breaks a law is executed except the most wanted criminal . You just committed a minor crime and now must fight , murder , and steal your way to the top of the most wanted list .

I ca n't believe I just did that. 
 
 
 I rechecked my receipt. I frantically scanned it for proof that would quell my fears. `` Candy bar, candy bar....please dear fucking Christ show a candy bar.'' 
 
 
 There was n't one. I had walked out the store without paying. I had committed a crime. I looked around frantically checking for any cops. I locked onto two joyfully chatting with each other. They obviously had n't received the notice a crime was committed yet. I estimated I had about 3 minutes before they received the message. I casually walked to my car and drove off. I pulled into a dark alley to confirm my fears. I called the hotline typed in my SSN. After a few moments it responded. `` You are currently rank 1127. Please crime again.'' 
 
 
 1126 people. That's how many people I had to beat in order to stay alive. 1126 people between life and death. 1126 lives stopping me. I had prepared for this day. As most people have. But my plan has to be the worst. This is n't a selfish decision. No one wants to knowingly die. The surprise of death is easier. I called another number and let it ring. I let it ring until I heard the busy tone. It was done. I never truly loved them. 
 
 I called the hotline again. I entered my SSN. I waited for the voice of comfort to tell me I was # 1. Being # 1 meant guaranteed safety. It was a broken system. The sickest minds got the most freedom. I saw police lights in my rear view mirror. They had found me, all I could hope was my crime was good enough. Hah, `` good.'' 
 
 `` You are currently rank 394. Please crime again.'' 
 
 
 `` Huh,'' I thought to myself. `` Well at least now they wo n't grow up without a father.'' 
 
 I chuckled slightly as I put it in my mouth and pulled the trigger. I see my life flash before my eyes. I see a sign in the store. `` Free candy bar with purchase of soda.'' 
 
 I remember walking out the store with a ginger ale.
