As I sit in an empty, disgusting basement with my attackers wounding me, I don't have any train of thought. The only thing I can think of is death and going up to that place that is bright and happy. I can't feel anything other than violent jerks from the impact of an axe in the back of my head. As another mysterious figure rips my hair out and slits my legs, I drift in and out of consciousness. I just wish I would die already. I wish I didn't have to fight anymore, but I just have to. I'll never see my family again. I'll never see my friends again. My loud weeping becomes louder and my will to die grows with it.
My arms ached from being tied together for such a lengthy time and my eyes feel like hot coals from my burning tears. My throat feels like it's sandpaper from my constant screaming. There was nothing I could do anymore. I just sit like I have been for the fast couple of days. I can't hear and the edges of my vision become black with each slam to my skull. The sight of my own bloods on the wall next to me makes me cringe.
I finally hear a faint siren come from outside of this abandoned setting. One man says something to the other that I can't distinguish. I pray that they'll finally leave me the hell alone. What did I do to deserve this? I ask myself. The other figure nods and the two run up a staircase. I cry even harder now, but these are tears of joy. I'm free. As men in blue shirts that hold guns in front of their faces flood the room, I am overjoyed. I can finally see my family again.
Now I can see my younger sister standing in the corner of the room. She holds a teddy bear and stares at me in pure horror. I cry at the sight of her. Suddenly, my vision goes black and I can't feel my heartbeat any longer. I can barely breathe and an overwhelming sadness comes upon me. Am I....dying? I take a last breath and see what I had been waiting for for the past few days. It's finally here. The bright light. Something is pulling me in, but I can't follow it. I need to see my sisters again. The light becomes closer, so I give up.
I can't do it anymore.
