Hello guys! It's been a long ass time, but I'm back with more angst! :X This is the result of EOCTs, AP tests, and Finals, all in the same week. I hate the term, but FML.

This is just sorta a teaser. I'm still working the plot out, but I should update tomorrow or Wednesday.

This wasn't what dying was supposed to be like.

No, this certainly wasn't.

Where were the blue skies and paradise? All there was were bleak landscapes, blood and pain. So much pain it could destroy an army of the bravest men and strongest pain. Was everyone's death this painful? This couldn't be fair. What had he done to piss off the gods?

He was supposed to be peaceful, dammit. These were his last breathes and the last thoughts he could ever think, so why couldn't he control them? He wanted to be at the beach, or in the sun, or just anywhere away from the place he was now. He wanted to get away from the blood and rain and dirt and bullet casings.

He closed his eyes and the system of small failures that was his life passed slowly. It would have to do. It wasn't much better, but it wasn't worse.
