Aah, Aaaah. AAAAAAH!
It hurts!
Over and over again!
I can't think!
I can't breathe!
AAAAAH. Aaaah. Aah.
I get it now. It won't ever end. This moment... is my eternity.
Again.
It torments me again.
But no response.
Why respond... if it won't change my suffering.
Hours, days, years, decades, an eternity passes.
There is no more thought. No more suffering.
Only the raw rending of flesh and an empty vessel filled with violent, churning pains.

"Snap out of it. You're acting like your're asleep even though you're clearly awake. you're not a vegetable, are you?"
No response.
"Fine, I'll just have to drag you out of here draped over my back."
Another eternity passes.
"The summer heat is brutal right?"
...
"You're free now. Talk to me. Please..."
...
"Here, eat. You have to eat now that you're out of that place."
...
"It's a freezing winter, but don't worry, I'll keep you warm
...
"Dammit Jade. Why do you keep that vegetable around? He's just soaking up your time and resources! I swear if you don't put him somewhere to rot I'll kill him mysel-"
"Shut up! He's not a vegetable! I can see it in his eyes. He's in there, and if I just be patient, I know he'll give me the world.
"Give you the world? He's just a goddamn human with a mental defect! You're insane! F*** this, I'm done doing business with you. Good luck finding food for your parasite without my money. I heard there's going to be an awful nor easter for the entire better part of Janurary. The storm will be so bad that there won't be any game for miles from here."
...
"D-Don't worry... I'll... keep... you... warm
...
"Good god Jade, what happened to you? You're all skin and bones! You look like you barely ate anything the entire winter! How in good gods did you not freeze to death???"
"I had a warm body pillow."
...
"I know you'll snap out of it one day. And when you do, I promise that we'll make up for the years of your torture with the time we have left together. I promise.
...
"How many decades has it been? Even if we've never met, we're practically soulmates at this point. I don't even remember what you looked like when you were young anymore.:
...
"My business is finally doing well. If you woke up now, you would spend the rest of your days with affluence. Please... wake up."
...
"Sometimes I have nightmares... Today I dreamt that I was old and decrepit on my deathbed. And as soon as I dropped dead, you woke up. If something like that actually happened... No, it won't happen. I know it won't.. You have to wake up while I'm still alive... You have to...
...
"I do wonder... if you'll ever wakeup"
.
.

The Third eternity passes
"Burn the witch! Purge the heretic! Burn the witch! Purge the heretic!"
"Hide here... I'll close your eyes. I Don't want you to see... what's about to happen next. ... Take care, alright? I really hope you'll be ok without me."
"The witch is talking to itself! It's casting a spell! Quickly, throw the torches!"
But the cabin never caught flames.
For the witch threw itself onto the ground where the flames should've landed.
And there, it was impaled by blades and pitchforks like a roasted pig.
...
His eyes were closed...
But through an act of god, his eyelid muscles activated just in time for him to witness the horrid scene.
The sight broke something inside of him.
Fixing the broken machine that was his brain in the process.
He wanted to scream, he wanted to fight. He'd do anything to save it.
But he knew all to well...
it was already dead.
