The Ghost In The Ring

The entire living room was a disaster. A spilled drink, a torn pillow, and in the middle of it—Lena and Ruby glaring at each other. Jack sighed.

"What the fuck happened?" Ruby pointed. "She cheated." Lena crossed her arms. "It's not cheating. It's winning." Jack rubbed his temples. "Oh my God.

What were you two doing?" Ruby huffed. "Playing video games." Jack looked at Lena. She smirked. "I won." Jack groaned.

"I just cleaned this place." Ruby pouted. "She played dirty." Lena rolled her eyes. "I played to win." Jack exhaled. "Jesus Christ. Alright. Rematch." They both looked at him. Jack smirked. "I'll take both of you on."

Ten minutes later, Jack was sitting between Ruby and Lena, controller in hand. It was war. Ruby was out for revenge. Lena was playing with cold precision.

And Jack? Jack was just trying to survive. "STOP DOUBLE-TEAMING ME!" he shouted. Ruby cackled. "Shut up and take your L."
