As the blade withdrew from John's chest, a rush of agony overtook him. He collapsed to the ground in a violent, uncontrolled descent. Blood gushed from the wound, staining his clothing and the ground beneath him. Each heartbeat sent fresh waves of pain radiating through his body.

Pain shot through him, a primal scream caught in his throat. Instinctively, his hands flew to the gaping wound, warm blood staining his fingers red. Each breath was a shallow gasp, ragged and torn from his lungs. Agony etched itself across his face as he wore and expression of pure suffering.
