Jake looked at the red blood that covered his hands. The past days haven't been peaceful. He was committed to living a life free from dangers, yet here he was killing for the sake of the one he loved.
There was no time to reminisce. A few more seconds and the door before him would open as the enemies would rush in.
Jake's heart was beating non-stop. He was reaching his limit. If he did a few more, he would collapse and fall unconscious. But this was the path he chose. The moment he attacked those men that were tailing Kristine, he knew he had no choice but to finish the task.
"Now!" Jake thought as he jumped forward. His head moved through the door and a small part of his head emerged on the other side.
Oh boy... Poor Jake.
Anybody out there with similar heartaches like Jake? You were being lured like a moth to a flame and you literally went through the fire for that person and in the end...
Anyways, do leave a review. You can leave multiple reviews. If you don't know what to say, do what reader Valven does. It's random, abstract but extremely helpful to me. Thanks Valven for constantly reviewing this story!
Lastly, keep safe guys.
With the increase of cases here in PH, the gov. is actually looking for volunteers to help them on dedictated centers for COVID 19. My wife is considering volunterring and I am supportive. Its very flexible in terms of time. My wife can volunteer one day each week and could do more days. Honestly, I could maintain our current setup and I should be able to write more chapters and earn more (more chapters means more money for me) but it seems cruel to focus on me, when many are suffering. So if the chance presents itself, I want my wife to help out because that's about the greatest help we can offer to our country today. My sacrifice would be to take care of my baby which would lower my productivity at work and therefore loose the time to write more. (About a days worth at least) Its also a risky sacrifice. But come on. I get to sit happily and write while many others are suffering? It leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I guess I'm like Kid Seeker. I want to save the world. And this small but risky sacrifice is one of the ways I can help my fellow Filipinos.
Any readers from Italy? Feel free to drop your names on the comments so I can pray for you. Unlike popular opinion, I do believe in the power of prayer. I started writing in 2015. I used to be able to write two chapters every YEAR. So I had 6 by 2018. And each had a word count of 1800 words. But through prayers, (of my own and the missionaries I support) I managed to do more than 50 chapters that year. To me, that's a big miracle. The fact that I now have 170 strong chapters continues to amaze me. The prayers of a righteous man are powerful. (James 5:16) I got this far because of that. Though I don't see myself as righteous, I still want to pray for you especially on this time. You can DM me my Facebook page Rapture Tales.
