Well Im kind sleepy right now but the story that pops in mine mind is "The Long Walk" by Stephen King...it's a part of he's Bachman Collection.
It's about a hundered childeren and teenagers who signed up for some kind of future reality show in which the contenders have to walk until there is only one survivor.

This is not one of his scariest stories but it sure has been running around my head for days after i had read it.

"We want to die, that's why we're doing it. Why else, Garraty? Why else?"
"Im am the rabbit"
