บท 164: Fragments of Memories (1)

The words faded. Now, only darkness remained. Cold, freezing darkness.

Suspended in nothingness, I drifted. My consciousness didn't fade – was this what death was like? Had Samantha been like this ever since she died too?

How long would it take for me to disappear completely?

I waited – there was nothing I could do.

My memories slowly began to scatter. How had I gotten here again? Oh, right. Alina killed me.

She killed me with a smile on her lips, and the glitter of revenge and satisfaction in her eyes.

I wanted to get angry, but I couldn't focus on that memory for long enough. The flames of anger that appeared quickly turned into cinders. I forgot – what was I thinking about again?

Oh, right. The blade she thrust into my chest. I felt the pain of death again. If I had a body, I would have shuddered. 

Why was it so cold?
