I just remember on October 30, 1996 my life changed, I am writing this before I completely lose it again, brother I'm so so sorry.. I wish I could've done something, I wish I didn't try to help you escape; I just wanted you to live happily! Darren please forgive me...

Running through the thick forest frantically, laughing and wheezing out of breath not stopping or looking back, the warm, Crimson liquid turning cold on my hands and face, my shirt the same way splattered with it. I don't stop running until I collapse and wheeze gasping for air, laughing and getting light headed until I pass out.

I wake up and look around for Darren, then it flashes white and I remember, salty stinging warm tears swell in my eyes and all I could do was lay back and scream. I screamed and screamed and cussed and.. then I started laughing, he's gone and so are they. I laugh until it hurts, until it feels like my esophagus feels like it's about to shred, tears stream down the sides of my head as I stare up at the dark green branches shading me from the burning sun.
