The Protectors (As Told By Atlas Rand)

It's The End Of An Era

***

   The year is 2103 and I'm on my second deathbed.

   You know me as Atlas Rand, that random girl who somehow is the child of a superhero.
   You know my friends are dead.
   You know I was brought back from the dead in this new world that I've lived in for the past 25 years.
   Now you know I'm about to die.
   I guess the Shadow had no use for me anymore, because here I am, screaming out in pain. The Shadow only has to let go of me now.

   And then I'm falling.

   I finally feel my neck snap at the impact of the ground.
   My seven seconds start now.
   Every memory, good and bad, of all the years I've lived, flash before my eyes. All the times spent with my friends, all the times without, all the times we fought, all the times we had fun, everything.

   If I could cry I would.

   I saw my happiest moments.
   I saw my worst moments.
   I saw everything in between.

   Then I saw nothing.

   My seven seconds before absolute death were over.
   A bright light flashes before my eyes and when it's gone, I see nothing but blackness.
   It surrounds me and I feel like I'm suffocating.
   Is this heaven?
   Is this hell?

   Hello?

   Nothing.
   No one.

   I'm alone.

   No friends.
   No nothing.
   I lived alone and now I'll be dead alone.
   This is the end for real this time.
   And somehow, I'm not as free as I thought I would be.

   I'm trapped.

   It's over.

I don't know what to do so might as well finish this out with some very crappy ending.

So yeah as you can tell I actually won't be updating this story ever again so... yeah.

Thanks to the people who may have decided to stick around idk everyone who was reading in the beginning is probably gone due to my inactivity haha.

Whatever.

Thanks for reading, I guess.
