Prologue

I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!

Those words echoed my mind as I slowly clawed myself up up the hill, IT was getting closer by the second. My legs ceased to work as I tried to escape ITs grasp. Making crawling to be my only option. My fingernails began to tear off as I dug them into the ground to lift my body up the hill. The pain was soon replaced with fear as I felt the heat from IT getting hotter and hotter. The words came back into my mind as I tried to escape-

I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die, I don’t want die!

Streams of tears and mucus-covered my face as I continued to scale the never-ending hill. If anybody were to see this they could automatically assume that I was a monster of some sort. The projectiles coming from IT came back stronger than ever as one of them managed to tear a deep cut in the side of my hip the other managed to hit directly atop my left leg causing it to tear off my body. Screaming in agony as feeling the pain of losing my limb, it echoed throughout the once lush forest. The only thing managing to keep me conscious was my perk. IT could have finished me off ages ago, but now noticing how small and pathetic I was it decided to take it sweet time and enjoy toying with me until the very end. This time instead of in my mind the word burst out of my mouth followed by long stutters from the crying.

“I-i-i don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t w-w-w-w-want die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I d-d-don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want d-d-d-die!”

The sight was truly pathetic as I continued my way up the hill screaming aloud those words. But deep down I knew that clawing my way up this hill was just stalling the inevitable. All my nails were now freshly torn off, now replaced by dirt and blood. My leg is still gushing out puddles of blood showing no signs of stopping. The heat coming from IT was now unbearable to the point where my skin was now filled with burns from head to toe. IT was now too close for comfort, finally accepting my fate I turned my body around to find the thing that was going to kill me. IT stood there towering above all the trees, two wings extended from its back, and many other features my blurry vision wasn’t able to see. The words “I don’t want to die” now seemed meaningless in my mind as it was now replaced with a new phrase.

I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live, I don’t want to live!
