131Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ1V9Afza9
131Please respect copyright.PENANAS0KMTcZuwF
So I did and they listened with bated breath. They hung on my every word like I was really someone special. Ha, I guess I am. But I did leave out what happened with Anton and kept to the story I told Sever.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAiSJNmzHi2o

After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I starting to get nervous again, say something.

How am I floating in this void? My eyes are gone yet I can see it coming. My heart has been ripped out but I can still feel beating. My arms and legs…I can’t feel them.
