I gave it another shot. One moment, one second, that's all it takes.
For most people you're here one moment and gone the next. Just one second is all it can take for your life to cease.
That's all you need to die.
And am I ever sick of it.
I raised the knife, wanting to end my existence for...

Walking down a dark alleyway is no shock for me. I don't have a permanent place to sleep. I only eat because I steal, but right now it's getting harder and harder to do so. Curse the modern times.
Video cameras. Who would've thought?
Anyways, I was extremely hungry and I wanted to eat soon. I was...

I'm floating. There's nobody here but the dead. How do I know they're dead? I don't know, but the pale white souls drifting by me are all dead ones.
And somehow I can sense their presence.
I'm in the same vortex that I've been loads of times. Every single time I die I go here. I...

Another two weeks went by. I'd been at this camp for a month, now, and learned more here than I ever could've on my own. The daggers became natural. I got extremely proficient at magic. And I even won cake once…everyone was right. It did taste good.
Most times, though, Dani won the...

I woke up the next morning feeling very…peaceful. That sleep was the best I'd gotten in years. The bed really was comfortable, but some alarm clock on the bedside table was blaring at me and it wouldn't shut up until I got out of bed. Groaning, I gave it a death-look.
It didn't...

I'm in that dimension again. Who is it this time that's coming for me? Who is it that's died and coming to see me here?
She slowly comes towards me. She's small. She can only be ten, maybe eleven. Who is it? I know. It's Fiara. "Hello, Hope," she whispers in her small voice. She died of...

Three weeks passed before the surprise was revealed. Dani grew cold, angry, and we almost never saw her. She didn't go to class anymore. X couldn't do anything about it, so I suppose my statement is amended – you can skip here. We tried to get her to talk to us, to get her back out of her...

As I said, when I woke up – full of energy. It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do for you. Next time your mother tells you to have a good night's sleep and you'll feel better in the morning, believe her – Jonah was gone, undoubtedly taken by the Raze.
I also realized, with a...

True to my words, we had the funeral the next morning.
We didn't actually bury him in the ground, no, instead we gave him a magical funeral. Even X showed up.
We buried Dani, too. It just seemed right.
We set up grave markers for them, and we tried to dress somberly, but my hair...
