บท 100: Bloody punishment

I was surrounded by the rubble, covered by nothing but the burning remains of what used to be a building. Yet, at the same time, I wasn't.

There was a strange dissonance between what my body was in reality and what my perception told me. Despite being buried alive in the still-burning embers and half-burnt wood, I could see the outside as clearly as if I was standing on solid ground instead. 

I spotted a first figure appearing in the darkening sky. The smoke only augmented the natural process of the light of the day fading away, only making me wonder how the heck could I notice the man's presence!

Soon, the entire sky crowded as disciples quickly surrounded the figure that was the first to arrive. 

'I wasted enough of my time,' a thought coursed through my mind. Once again, there was a dissonance between what I was thinking and what was my body thinking.
