You wake up to find that Death himself is standing in your bedroom. <br><br>He says, "You have been sentenced to death."<br><br>You say, "What? It's only 8:30 in the morning, I haven't done anything."<br><br>Death says, "That's not what I mean by death boy. I have been doing this job for eons, and frankly, I'm tired of it. But no one else can do my job. I need someone to take my place. And my sentence for you is death."<br><br>You say, "I'm not doing it."<br><br>Death says, "I'm afraid you don't have a choice. Consider it a life sentence."<br><br>Death waves his hand, and you feel yourself being lifted out of your bed. He drags you out of your house, and tosses you in the back of his car. A beat-up old hearse.<br><br>Death says, "I'm going to drop you off at death school, and then I will die."<br><br>You try to struggle, and fight your way out of the situation, but Death is too strong. You look around and realize that you are in a small town that you have never seen before. You try to open the door of the car, but the door is locked. You hit the glass as hard as you can, but it doesn't break. <br><br>Death laughs and says, "Magic car, magic glass."<br><br>Death drops you off at the death school, and says, "Farewell Death Boy. May you become a great reaper. For I am finally going to die."<br><br>Death walks off and falls to the ground, dead. You look around and see that you are surrounded by other kids, all wearing the same black uniform.<br><br>One kid says, "Welcome to school, Death Boy. We all have the same curse as you. No one knows how we all ended up here, but we are all sentenced to death. And if we try to rebel against Death, we will be killed."<br><br>You ask the kid, "What do you mean?"<br><br>The kid says, "Look at that kid." The kid points to a kid that is standing by himself. The kid is wearing rags and looks like a zombie. The kid is also surrounded by a bunch of flies.<br><br>The other kid says, "That kid tried to rebel. And now he is the laughing stock of the school. They call him the Fly Boy now." The kid chuckles.<br><br>You say, "This is crazy. I need to rebel."<br><br>The kid says, "If you do, I will tell on you. I don't want to end up like Fly Boy. But if you want to rebel, I know someone who will help you. Just be careful. They don't want to be caught. And they will only help you if you are desperate."<br><br>The kid gives you a piece of paper with some scribbles on it. You take the paper as the teacher calls everyone in to class.<br><br>You look at the scribbles, and they appear to be a code. What does the code say, and what will it lead to?
