Pain.

Guilt.

Regret.

I should have held on, Robert yelled at himself as he fled from the dam.

But you couldn't have, he reasoned. You had no strength left.

I had the strength, just not the determination.

Robert ran as fast as he could, with his head down, despite the serious stomach cramps he had. No way did he ever want to go near that dam again, unless to end it all there...

He quietly considered the offer he gave himself, and decided to make a choice later. Tilting his head up, he saw his getaway place, where no one ever bothered him. A mountain. Skillfully, he climbed his way up, avoiding the various rocks and weeds in his path. Finally, with no breath left, Robert made it to the top.

It was a nice view. One could see practically the whole town of San Jose from up there. It was the perfect place to pray, reflect on life, and be at peace with the world. Quietly, Robert began to replay what had happened and what to do next.
She's gone, forever. Nothing will bring her back, Robert thought to himself.

Ongoingly, he fought with himself, over and over, telling himself that it was his fault and telling himself that it wasn't.
Finally, he came up with a decision. To end it all there.
He brought out his iPod Touch and started typing into the Notes app. [Now this, dear reader, is when he decided he would suicide. Right now, he was typing his suicide note. This may be sad and all now, but it gets better. Be patient, fellow reader.]

After Robert had finished his note, he went home, plugged in his iPod Touch to charge it, and left for the dam. When his parents came home, they would know where he had gone.
Reaching the dam with few breathes left, Robert leaned over the ledge. Silently, he threw over a piece of crumpled up paper over the side.

Long drop. Won't matter much once I'm down. It'll be over in a second.

As he was about to jump, someone knocked him on the head with a heavy object, knocking him out cold. In the world of the unconscious, he saw himself being transported to another world. Robert didn't know it yet, but he was now in the country of Pyrrhia.
