(Note: This is based off a movie called Series 7: The Contenders, a
dark comedy/action movie based off the reality show obsession. The
rules are simple. Random lottery, where you have to play. Five random
people and  the returning champion from the last season  play. They're
all given guns and freedom to do whatever they want to each other.
Last man surviving wins. Win three times, you're free.)

David,
 
I would appreciate it if you would place a dark tag [dark] in the subject
header for this kind of thing the next time. Also, you would do well to
include a disclaimer about who owns the characters involved in the piece at
the beginning. 
 
This isn't the kind of thing I ordinarily read, and I would not have read
this one had I known what it was in advance. Having said all that, the piece
seems to deliver what you intended. I did spot some minor punctuation errors
and what have you, but there are other FFML participants better qualified to
help you with those.
 
As a satire concerned with television programming, I think it fails. I do
NOT consider that to be your fault. It's just that television programming is
so bad, that it has become nearly impossible to satirize. This is not to say
that there isn't one or two diamonds in the muck, but there is so much muck
that I watch very little television anymore.
 
Regards,
 
Don Granberry.
