[WP] The Government puts out a notice, and you, a random citizen have been selected. If you survive for another 10 years everyone in the world gets $10,000. However, if someone kills you in the next 9 years and 364 days they alone get $10,000,000. | And there she was. The love of my life, my reason for living, aiming a gun straight at my chest.
"Bill...are you sure?"
"Susie, sweetie, it's okay. It really is."

The past 10 years have been an absolute nightmare. The bounty placed on my head has turned everyone against me. My wife, my parents, my family and friends have all tried to kill me for their own benefit. Where do I go from here?
