Five Thousand Meters Above Mercy

Synopsis

During our graduation trip up the mountain, the leader, Ryan Porter, snatched the last bottle of medical oxygen I had left. He turned around and handed it to Jessica Rivers, the school's queen bee who always played the innocent, even though she was only a little out of breath. "Jessica's fragile. You're pretty in good condition, can't you tough it out for a bit? Come on, have a little team spirit, will you?" Ryan said. In my previous life, I passed out in the snow from lack of oxygen, and everyone crowded around me, accusing me of pretending just to get noticed. In the end, I was left in a vegetative state from brain damage, while Ryan and Jessica went viral overnight thanks to their video, "Breathtaking Mountain Rescue". Now, given a second chance, I watched as Ryan reached out his hand, acting like he had every right to take it. Instead of fighting back, I grabbed my ice axe from my backpack and smashed the oxygen tank, destroying it completely. "Team spirit, huh? Fine. Let's all die together at 5,000 meters," I said. Everyone fell into a shock, not believing what they had just saw.
