'She's never gonna make it all the Poor people she's forsaken karma, Is always gonna chase her for her lies, It's just a game of waiting from the Church steeple down to Satan karma, There's really no escaping till she dies' the voice rings in my head as I walk down the streets, my legs weak  from walking way too much, "fuck sakes I should have stayed" I sigh looking down, I stop in my path by looking at this new red substance, my eyes widened at the realization, I look up to see one of my best aunts hanging in a tree, "what the hell!!" I look at the tree 'she put up quite a struggle, I had to get the toe one way or another' I scream my body violently shaking, causing me to fall on the cold ground, many lights turn on due to the high pitch scream, in a few minutes a cops show up here and there questioning everyone who could be a suspect in the murder "I didn't see it, I didn't see it,  I didn't see it, I didn't see it" I continue to repeat over and over  as memories us flash in my mind .

The fires we all had as a family, the puppy babysitting, kitting sitting, just bringing with her, she was the best, now she's gone, I felt a blanket wrap around me as I sit in the back of a Cruzer, 'And all the people say, You can't wake up, this is not a dream, You're part of a machine, you are not a human being,  With your face all made up, living on a screen, Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline' the dark voice I knew to well spoke, "just go away!!" my voice cracking I get a few strange looks, I run opening the door, and run, tears spilling my eyes as my hair flies in my face, I push it aside not looking back, I just ran, I'm outrunning karma.

I'm running away from him, I trip and fall scraping my knees, I get up and run again not caring that I'm bleeding, I suddenly run into someone, they wrap their arms around me patting my head "its okay hush dear" I broke down crying, I couldn't take it, "are you done crying"I push away landing on my ass, staring at him, "you think you can run away, as long as you have that necklace ill be back, and no, no other one will work " I get up and run in the other direction, bumping into him again, I turn around running again, only for the same thing to happen, I drop to the ground, "please stop" he laughed " after what happened ill let you live fro now " with that I was picked up off the ground and teleported home into my bed, my eyes got heavy soon causing me to pass out once again.
