Out of Myself

With the blasting sounds of gunfire I take cover. Allies of mine laying in their own and other people's puddles of blood. It's a sacrifice us as the Vipers must endure. For our lives is just a pawn to the government. I guess I did walk myself into this mess though. My thoughts are then interrupted by a loud crash. I shriek in pain and in shock of what just happened. Where's... Where's my arm?! I scream and panic until I hear a voice calling my name. "SARIKO!!" I hear his voice call out. I couldn't reply. The pain has surged through my whole body and my eye's were taken over the color red. Red. The image of hatred and cruelty. Though it's still my favorite color. It means sacrifice. A sacrifice to help humanity. At least I tried. I tried to live. What does it even mean to live? Everyone will die no matter what. What do you do in the short period of time you have? Get married and find true love like all the princess stories I was told as a child? No. That wasn't it. It's to live and achieve what is most important to you. That is what it means to live. My last thoughts consumed me as my vision turned from red to black. The calling of my name got louder then it softened down till I couldn't hear it anymore. Am I dead? I couldn't be... Why? Why must life be so cruel. How did I even get to this point in the first place... Maybe that voice. That voice I heard was a person very important to me. But who was it? What is even happening? Death is such a mysterious thing.
