Bab 354: Unseen Memories [4]

[Trigger warning. The following chap has some stuff about self-harm and suicide so just be mindful]

"AHH—!"

A piercing screech tried to leave his mouth. But he quickly bit his tongue to stop it.

Even if he was an idiot, even he knew that making so much sound would only attract more beasts to his location.

"Mmph…agh…"

Muffled noises intermittently left his mouth as he tried to cope with the pain coming from his left leg.

It was burning but also cold. With his body stuck in such a tight space, his leg kept bumping against the rocks, making the pain even worse.

"Haa…agh…"

Before he even realized it, tears began to spill from his eyes.

'It hurts. It hurts so much. Why…why is this happening…I just want to live…why…'

His thoughts were incoherent. The dizziness in his head was only getting worse as his blood loss intensified.

He remembered scenes from a few movies he watched.
