~ON HOLD CURRENTLY FOR EDITING~ Pain ripped through my system, igniting my nerve endings, alighting my blood. I felt as if the life were being torn out of me with hot spikes. I let loose a blood curdling scream as I arched my back in agony. Why was this happening? The pain was excruciating. Unbearable. Endless. There was nothing but the pain, it was my whole life. Pain, in every anatomical appendage of my body. It felt like being burned alive. I let loose another scream. A pure cry of primal rage and agony. It went on, and on. I sobbed. I shuddered. I begged for mercy. I cradled myself, but all in vain. The pain was fire, and I was kindling. I was consumed.
