I have to stop it. I aim my gun at her belly. I don't want to kill her, just the child. Don't think about morals just fix it. The universe

"William! Please, your not thinking clearly"

"I am! I have to do this, I have to save us all!" I need her to know, the pistol shakes. Intake a breath.

BANG

Falling, what happened? There is blood on my shirt. It coming from my chest. Kent comes from behind, his rifle is in his hand. 

She needs to know, they need to know.

"K-Kent," what's the word that comes next? It's all fading.

"Is he dead?" She asks

"He will be," Kent is—she has to know

"Ros—e." can't speak. I failed, "I-sor—" It would have died eventually anyway. Why does it have to be so dim? I need to tell them. I wish Jane had come with me. Why couldn't I have chocolate? I have to tell them. Before blackness, "sor-y—moth-"

No air
