In Which He Was In The Form

In the hush that followed, the only sounds that could be heard were John's rapid heartbeat and his shallow breaths. 

"I will never be anything other than a handicap in this life. It is an inevitability that I shall be in need of aid from another individual. It's embarrassing that I am the person that I am." He mumbled something along the lines of, "How much longer am I going to have to put up with this?"

Because he had a dull and monotonous existence, he never had anything spectacular happen to him, and there were never any surprises or twists in the road that he did not see coming.

It had occurred in such a way that his complete body appeared to be laying there on the ground where it had fallen, giving the appearance that it was a lifeless relic. This was how it had happened.
