…
Something happens. My body finally pulls from that spear and… and… I cough. Blood sprays onto the ground. I work tirelessly.
I have to. It's either work or die. And I'd rather not… It'd be far too bad… I don't want to leave her behind. I don't… I really don't…
She saved me. And that- that-
I grit my teeth. More blood piles in my mouth and like bile, it vomits from my mouth. A hand strays across my back. It rubs softly.
"Are- are?"
She can't even finish her sentence. My entire stomach is gone. From my heart to my belly button. It's entirely gone. It's all gone. Ruptured and jagged.
I should be dead. I shouldn't be alive.
Not with this injury.
I want to breathe.
I can't breathe.
