"Here"
My wife's hand reached to the ground where I'm laying, while I'm acting like I got hurt by the punch she has given me...I know that I have the talent for acting
"Your not gonna tell me that hurt wouldn't you?"
My wife said, hinting that she already discovered my cover...I guess I'm not that good with acting...well I still have singing
"I mean your fat how do you think I would take your punch, it would crush me"
I said to my wife teasing her a little, and of course, she got angry and firmly wrap her fist ready to punch me once again
But for some reason she stopped when her fist is already in the sky, she unwrapped her hand and pinch the side of her belly
"Gary, I'm not really fat, right? I know your just teasing me"
She worriedly asked...I tried to hold my laughter...pffft-she's asking me about...hepfft-
Calm down...you can do this, answer her...
"Honey don't be shamed by the size of your bod..pff- body"
I said trying to hold my laughter...I can't believe we're being lovey-dovey in this place where we can die any moment...I guess I could now say that our love is stronger than death
"Gary!!"
She yelled..my wife looked to the sky biting her lower lips...the action she always does when she's trying to think about a solution but this time she must be thinking of an insult for a comeback
"Well... you're fatter than me!"
She yelled..what a childish comeback..she's thinking hard for a couple of seconds but only thought of this...well I won't blame her..but I.....but i- damn I can't think of anything to back my words... it's just not her fault that she couldn't think of any better insult...
"Yes honey were both chubby"
I said, which my wife replied stomping her feet
"No!, it's not what you're supposed to say"
I hold my mouth as the sight I was seeing is just too cute...
"Don't worry I like you fat"
"Gary!"
She shouted my name and at this moment what I'm holding back suddenly burst
"Kuhahah!, sorry-pfffthahahha!"

RANG
RING
The sound of bells coming from the clock that was located at the top of our head
It's so loud that I couldn't even hear my voice let alone my wife's
"Honey"
I tried to tell aloud but I don't know if I said anything as I couldn't hear anything except the bell in my head that was ringing loudly
My wife must also know that I couldn't hear her, and unlike me, she actually thought of a decent idea
She gripped both my shoulders and lean forward so that our nose will meet...this was a bad time to kiss, I wanted to say but before I could peck her lips
She opened her mouth and yelled in front of me that I could smell her breathe....its smelled gross
"K...ah....f.."
That is the only word I could hear..she bit her lips before trying to yell about something once again
Ting
The sound of the bell ringing suddenly stopped but my wife didn't, she yelled at the top of her lungs
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Sending a loud and painful sound down my earlobe
"Ho-
I tried to yell to her as she did to me..she didn't tell me anything it was just a plain shout..so I tried to get revenge on her but a voice coming from the sky stop me from doing so
"Hehehe...I know that all of you is gonna ask why did our clock suddenly rang..well too bad I couldn't hear you...just joking..anyway I would tell you the reason why"
"Unlike someone who wouldn't even say a simple rule and just let half of the souls vanish"
"I told them the rule I just don't repeat it...and what happened to your mood..you sound a little husky"
"Shut up! unlike you, I need to take care of a blue dwarf.."
"Blue dwarf...oh him..that makes sense."
"Sigh...Ahem, the thing why your clock rang is because it's now time for the second part of the test....surprise! there are two tests on this floor ...Ahem, your test wouldn't change but the difficulty will rise. and that's all you need to know ..then good luck"
1:59(Ting)
1:58(Ting)
What the voice said is right...it did get harder
The unmovable clock floating in me and my wife's head began to create a loud sound by every second that passed...but unlike the first ring which we couldn't hear each other's voice
This sound is much louder but for some reason, it didn't affect our hearing...I couldn't hear the sound but I can feel it vibrating every step that I take
Kwaarg
Awoo
Swooosh
Multiple sounds could be heard ..and I'm pretty sure it's near us cause I could feel my wife's hand trembling
"Honey is there any light?"
I asked which she nod her head answering no...she then said with her hand gripping mine
"Its monsters..ga..gary we need to run!-wait no duck"
She yelled as she push me away just in time for a light to not hit my head
The light bore through the ground creating a small hole before fading...she said there isn't any light
"Gary..run now !"
She yelled as she ran toward the west...
I hurriedly stood up and tried to follow her..when I felt something hit my foot
"urrrggg!"
I resist the pain coming from my feet..it hurt so much and just keep becoming worse every step I take...
I followed my wife into the forest...I'm not that far so I could see her swift movement sliding down a branch and jumping up a stone it's like she knows this place
"Urrrk"
Thirteen seconds before the depressing moment
