POV Unknown

We are all going to die. Maybe not today, but we will. Some people don't want to admit it because it scares them. Some people want it to be imminent.

Right now, I want it to be imminent. I'm suffering so much that I'm praying to die. I have nothing. I saw my dad die, as my mother went away when I was a kid. My little sister disappeared, my boyfriend too. I just wish to be dead.

Kill me! Kill me, please kill me! These words are all I can think about.

After what it seems like years of burning, I can finally move my fingers without feeling the pain. My heart is beating like there's no tomorrow. Am I dead? I wish I was. They're all dead. But not me. Because after an hour, the pain is almost gone in all my body. My heart is beating, beating, beating, louder and louder. And... Poof! There's no heartbeat anymore. Am I finally dead? There's no pain anymore. Is this heaven? I can hear, I can smell. Maybe I'm not dead. To be sure, I open my eyes.

No, I'm not dead.
