Epilogue

I sit here.
Night and day.
Just here.
Amongst the others.
Its just a long pointless space.
Of nothing.
The others, clawing at me.
I feel nothing.
Emotionless.
Cold.

Chapter 20

I just lay there, in the sheets, gazing up to the ceiling.
I knew I would die soon, I could feel it in my body, my life would be over, the light at the end of the tunnel.
Ha.
There wasn't a single whisper in my room.
Not a single movement, just peace.
Me.
Something moved in the shadows.
I didn't even bother looking.
A hysterical madness bubbled inside me, the world started slipping away.
Something moved again, I felt something on my chest.
The world slid away, out of my grasp, like when you try to hold a handful of sand on the beach.
The grains slipped away.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
Then the blackness came.
A huge, wave of peace.
At last I would be at rest.
