BANG

The crack of a gunshot.

I should know.

I've been training to be Dauntless.

A bullet soars towards me.

Right at me.

It'll hit me right between the eyes.

My life starts to flash before me.

A Candor compound.

My mother.

Truth serum.

So much truth serum.

I was always a good liar.

Slicing my hand.

My blood on the coals.

Jumping down.

After her.

Hating her.

A Stiff.

In Dauntless.

She deserved death.

So. Many. Times.

But he was always there to back her up.

Anger.

That's all I feel as the bullet nears.

Then I feel a push.

The impact of the ground.

Life.

I'm still alive.

Thanks to her.

A Stiff.

No.

A Dauntless.
