Personal Narrative On Death

Adrenaline pulsed through my veins like a race car; my knees started to buckle beneath me. My palms and face were sweat soaked with anticipation. My friend encouragingly nudged me forward. Fear trickled down my spine, sending me off the cliff of sanity.

I look up again and see some-thing falling from the building, as it comes closer; I see that it is a body. It hits a lamppost and explodes like a paintball. I am in completely shock and cannot move. Over the chaos, I can hear sirens coming this way.

I stumble out the front of the class towards the trampoline. My heart starts beating faster. My vision blurs. I can’t breathe.

I saw no one. Not a living person was near the cliff. No one could see me if I just walked through the barrier undetected. My gut told me to go back, and get my friends, that I shouldn’t go through the barbed wire gates without someone by my side. But my head was stronger, and I carelessly walked in. Behind the barbed wire gates was an area in the city I’d never seen or remembered the last time I lived there. It looked like one of those military sectors mixed with a secret science lab. The place was enclosed in gates all around. Most of the land was filled with white warehouses and small buildings. What is this place? What is this place? What is this place? Don’t trust this place. This place is dangerous. Stop walking. Stop being annoying and leave. They are after you.

Your legs still move, your mind still hurts, and you hear nearby cheers. Your stomach remembers the half sandwich you had for lunch. While gagging, you finally get inside your head and tell yourself to show this treacherous track who the sentient being is here. Your jaws clench, your teeth grit, and from the depths of Tartarus arise an inhuman fire that will not be extinguished. Your body is numb, your mind is aflame, and you are sprinting. Your teammates and coaches tell you to slow down, to pace yourself. You look at them once, and they immediately quiet. Nothing stops a man with the eye of the

I decided I would keep going. I opened a door and suddenly I was in a desert and the only structure in sight was an outhouse. I thought it would have a portal in it. As I approached, a man showed up and tried to convince me not to go through and to just give up and live a life on ignorance and peace. It just didn’t seem right to me, so I said no and opened the outhouse door. Sure enough, it was a portal. I followed a hallway which lead to a congregation of Tangents lead by Kaine. He said that they were ready to be human. My mind is spinning and I don’t know what to do.

I stood up and gazed at my gloomy, gray surroundings. I seemed to be in a cavern with a massive roof. Wobbling slightly, I started to assess my surroundings. I couldn’t find my knife, or anything else for that matter. My clothes were ripped and torn, and my arms and face were scratched from the fall. I had no idea where I was,

Slowly I attempted to focus above me, I detected footsteps all around s towards and away from me, the ceiling lights progressed past rapidly only letting me for second focus on them I saw them go, one, two, three.... I'm moving? I look around me and see two women in blue walking beside me speaking inaudible words, one looks down at me panicked and then looks away and says something. I look to the other side of me a man and woman in blue as well. I start to realize, the smell of anesthetic with in the air, the panicked woman next to me. It all felt uneasy and to familiar .... I'm on a trolley bed.... I'm in a hospital.

My legs kick in the air as consciousness take the last gasps to leave my body.

As they hover around me like surgeons performing an operation, I gaze around and see nothing. It is completely pitch black. I feel so helpless. I am strapped down to a chair with a bright light shining in what seems to be an underground facility. I respond quickly.

I opened my eyes, the vertigo slowly slipping away as I blinking myself into full consciousness. A bright surgical light blinded me from above.

“Stop let me go!” Whatever just grabbed me starts pulling me away from where I fell. I continue screaming. “Someone help me!” I know there is nobody there to help me. We stop. I look up and it’s still dark I don’t know where I am. I hear a noise. The same one from earlier. I begin crying

Jensen’s expression goes dark and I know I’ve crossed a line. My stupid mouth. I can’t deal with this. I turn and I run, dashing up the stair and out of the crumbled building. I don’t need this right now. We need to get out of here and I can’t have him fighting me the entire way. I hear someone call after me and I don’t even stop to listen. I don’t care. I need some time to be alone and breath.

And I turn down an alley and it’s the strangest feeling because I’ve lived in this town my whole life and never seen it. Where the hell am I?

Again, I looked at the row upon row of horrors before. I started to scream. But, no sound came out. Fanatical sobs began to rack my body. Doubling over, I began to pound my head against the floor. Embracing the future with an untouchable passion, I let go of my sanity.
