Preface
I'd never given much thought as to how I would leave this world --- though I'd had reason enough in the last few months --- but even if I had, I would have never imagined it like this.
I stared down, across the long darkened room, into the gleaning eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me. It had appeared that his eyes had a tint of red in them.
Surely, it was a good, decent way to leave this world. If it was for the one I loved, then I would have gone through any death. I know that I wouldn't have died in vain.
That should be worth something.
I know that if I hadn't gone to Lexington, I wouldn't have even been in this position right now.
But that's okay.
Out of all this pain I'm feeling, my heart still aches with love. I could never ever regret the decision that I've made.
When life gives you an opportunity that nobody else in this world can have, you should take it. But don't grieve over it when it doesn't turn out to be the 'something' you've always dreamed of.
The hunter twisted his mouth into a friendly smile as he began to walk towards me. But I knew better. He was ready to take my life away as quickly as it came.
And I was willing to let him do so.
