"You're always just fine. You're always just okay. When are you ever going to be good? When are you going to be happy?" I sat in silence, letting the words echo through my skull. After a few seconds, I stood up and said "I don't even deserve to be fine." I reached my hand up and placed my hand on his cheek, caressing it as if I was there to protect him. I reached my other hand up, placing it on his other cheek. I watch as his face freezes into a silent scream as it chars and burns. I drop his lifeless body, letting the smell of burnt meat linger in the air before I turn around and leave the place for the last time.

My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you. A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart. That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide. "Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?" My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already. He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me. My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now. But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily. "There you are."
