Shadow of a doubt

  Dante opened his eyes with fear still in them. He had just died at the hands of the strange creature once again. Covering his face, he sat vertical on the ground before thoughts began to race through his mind. It was obvious he had gotten into a habit of dying, if there was such a thing actually existed.

  The one question in his mind though that stood out was how he was supposed to break the loop he was stuck in. At this point, it was as if he had tried every possible option.

  Dante could tell that his best option for getting out of his current predicament was somehow related to the god-like being. If the creature always led him to the being, it was clear that he was the one in charge.

  "Let's try again," Dante motivated himself.

  Sure his current situation was not so encouraging; however, he knew that no good would come from giving up. Walking towards the split up building, Dante could see the creature waiting for him.
