Among Us
Avidan Shah
I didn’t sign up for this.
As we stood around the bloodied remains of what used to be one of our crewmates, we realized that there was a major problem on our hands. This was supposed to be just another regular shipping flight with your runof-the-mill ten-man crew, not a horror movie. It was Yellow who finally spoke up. “So, it seems like we have an Impostor among us. Maybe two, given the size of our crew.” “Yeah, and by the looks of it, it’s probably you! You were the last person I saw with Purple, and now he’s dead! I say we boot Yellow out the airlock. Who’s with me?” Cyan was always quick to jump to conclusions. We all directed our gaze towards Yellow, who didn’t even flinch. “I’m telling you guys, I was priming the Skeld’s shields, which is coincidentally nowhere near Electrical.” “Ok guys, why don’t we all just calm down. There are nine of us left. No need to eject anyone yet. How about we all just go back to getting our tasks done for now and come back when we have concrete evidence?” Blue was usually the mediator of the group, and I appreciated him for that. I finally spoke up. “That’s a great idea! Why don’t we pair up or group together as much as we can? That way, when someone dies, we’ll know it was their partner who did it.” The others nodded their heads in approval. We voted to skip, the emergency shields separating us went down, and we all headed out of the cafeteria to continue our tasks. I decided to follow Yellow because he seemed to be the smartest out of the group.
