Choose Life or Death

Epilogue - the next day

I dance into the forest, breathing in the cool fresh air. Sunlight filters through the heavy leaves overhead, dotting the earthen floor with rays of gold.

I walk over to where it happened, a smile growing on my face.

They were such idiots.

They had put me through so much grief.

I had starved myself half to death because of them.

They had it coming.

My life is so much easier now. I will forever cherish the looks on their faces. They are gone. I win. Blown away, like dandelion seeds.

I laugh, falling on my back against the soil.

I am free.
