Run, that's all my body could do. I pumped my legs as hard as I could the my whole body aching in pain. The screams, oh my god I could still hear them like they were fresh. As I sprinted I could see headlights piercing through the darkness of the autumn night. They were here, why run, they would only catch me and do. I couldn't say it even in my head they were still alive they had to be alive. Those thoughts fighting with the realization that they were dead, my family was dead. I dropped to my knees almost like the will flooded out of me at once and that's when I felt it. The searing pain in my left chest, luckily it only lasted a bit till I dropped dead.
Except as soon as I dropped dead my eyes fluttered open, a bright light practically blinding me. After my vision cleared I looked around it almost looked like I was in an office. That wasn't possible though,right? That's when I noticed that I was clean. For once I didn't smell like dirt and garbage, not to mention my clothes looked brand new. A pair of snug red jeans and a plain black button up. I mean for fucks sake even my glasses were clean and without a scratch."What the hell is going on?" I said quietly not expecting a response. Except I heard a small laugh "I knew you would say that, anyways welcome home Dan".
