The Killer

The pain is seeping in.
And I can’t breathe.
There’s an unknown weight
Sitting on top of me.

I kick and claw
Trying to push it off of me
But it just presses down harder
I look up and see a face
A repulsive, disgusting face.

I claw at it, and scream
No one’s there now…

Black takes over my vision.
My lungs collapse.

My body stops hurting.
I stop breathing.

I open my eyes,
And look down.

Too high!
Can’t feel the ground
Floating.
Can’t feel my feet.
Falling
Can’t see the ground.
Faster!
It’s there, and getting closer.

There’s nothing to grab to stop myself.
I feel my body crash into it
The air leave me again
The face returns
I scream and I claw
My breathe leaves my lungs
I can’t feel my body
My eyes shut
My world goes black
The pain seeps in from everywhere suddenly.
I scream in pain,
My body writhing.

I open my eyes,
There’s the face
Only now there’s a hand
He’s holding something
Something that I know will help
Something that I need
That I want
It can help me he says
His voice screeching out into the silence
I just have to want it bad enough
His voice shrieks out
I want it
I need it
It can help me

He leans down and pushes it into my mouth
I gulp it down greedily, like it were the last bit of water on earth

I feel the pain leave me instantly
I feel my body being lifted again

Too high!
Can’t feel the ground!

He’s doing this on purpose.
He’s killing me.

I scream as I fall back to the ground.
I feel my body collide with the earth beneath me again.
The air leaves my lungs,
And my world goes black
The silence takes over
My breathing gets shallower
The pain is taking over.

I let it have me
I let it feed off of me
I let it kill me.
