Hi everyone! So this is a short draft I wrote, as a little something while I'm working on my bigger project. I'll probably release small things like this in the future, just to keep my imagination going. Hope you like it, and let me know if you want me to continue it! I might have few ideas…


I fell onto my knees, clutching my head tightly in my hands. Hot, white and excruciating it echoed through me, as if I were being stabbed from the inside over and again. I felt something warm and wet trickle down my spine, pulsating in time with my racing heartbeat.

And then it was gone.

I gaspingly filled my lungs with air, realising I had been holding my breath. The ground swam before me as I tried to stand up, but my body wouldn't obey me. I couldn't move. Every limb felt numb and heavy as cement. I realised I was shaking uncontrollably.

Then I saw him. Deep in my conscience, a picture formed in front of my unseeing eyes. A teenager. Brown hair. Brown eyes. A twisted, gleeful smile.

It was then I realised with a growing sense of dread, how terribly, terribly wrong I'd been.

"Goodbye, Chase," my former friend whispered in my mind, his voice filled with pure hatred.

It engulfed me again, only this time the agony was far, far worse. Everything around me exploded in red, spinning faster and faster, dragging me down into the deep, no matter how much I tried to fight it. My insides burned as I writhed and racked, now suddenly on the ground, the gravel rasping against my cheek. Cold and smooth it was, stinging against my feverish skin. My breath rattled in my throat as I struggled hard to breathe, to force away the darkness creeping into the corners of my blurred vision.

You have to fight it…

A warm, fuzzy feeling clouded everything into nothing. Except the pain. It kept increasing by the second.

Pain. Everywhere.

Nothing. But. Pain.

In the end, it was too much. I couldn't fight it any longer. Anything but this pain. Anything but this unbearable pain.

As from afar, a blood-curdling scream rang through my ears: a desperate, chilling, agonised cry. The last thing I would ever hear.

Just as darkness fell, I realised the person screaming was me.
