Damnation in Hell

5- A new Beginning

I ran as fast as I could. The cold, strong winds smacked against my body as I charged out into the open forest. My legs sore, my body is got cold to the point of numbing. I looked up to see a few raindrops falling from the leaves of the many tall trees. Perfect. Whatever, its just water.

The cold, raindrops started to pour down onto both myself and the grass. I have been running for almost an hour, I'm guessing. I predicted I have made some progress, as I saw new buildings in the distance. They aren't the ones from back there, no, this was..different. I have never seen something like this. Maybe this is it? I sped to the last few trees, and I quickly emerged, gasping and breathing heavily for air. Oh my god. Who are these people?

I looked around to see a new world full of buildings that look nothing like ones that I have seen. Tall, metal poles with light shining onto the floor to light the world up. I saw people in clothes of which I have never seen, sleeveless cloaks, maybe? Is this paradise? The people walking seem to hold a strange object, but it seems to stop the rain from making contact with them. I walk and sit down on a bench next to one of those tall metal poles. I continue to observe this new world, in shock and suprise. Somebody walks past me, but they then turn to look at me. They drop their umbrella, presumably in shock or fear, as their face goes from expressionless to horrified and shocked.
"O-oh my god!" they shout, getting attention from the other people. Now others are staring at me. I hate being stared at.

The woman who yelled at me looks down onto the symbol sown onto my cloak, which represents the religion I originate from. She backs away from me.
"OH MY GOD! MATTEO, COME, LOOK!" she screams, before running away. I think she was quite dramatic. The other people who are staring at me look shocked, even disgusted. Maybe this wasn't paradise after all, is this a punishment for escaping the inevitable. I stand up and run away, crossing the empty road and into the suburban streets. Everybody here is so odd, maybe this was a mistake. I shouldn't have done this. I walk into an empty alleyway with any remaining energy I have left in my body and sit down. The rats should eat me. I deserve this for my sins, don't I? This was bound to happen anyways.

I stay awake throughout the night. I can't sleep, even if I want to. The cold raindrops pouring onto me and a sense of guilt keeps me awake. I'm getting dizzy and my head is aching. My mind drifts somewhere else instead of my sins, and that maybe, they would come find me. They would find me. No, they will find me and they will hurt me. My eyes start to close. I think I pass out, I'm not fully sure anymore.
