When I wake up, the first thing I see isn’t my ceiling.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivN9Xck1wm
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGGegEa0NM
No glow from my phone. No pile of empty chip packets.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEalCAv8Xk2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKQQqHowsY
Just a white canopy, silk sheets, and gold that’s way too shiny for my tax bracket.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5obUQOcXa
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ohdT4ltP
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q9fZzRDgg
And then—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZaklEym5z
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr307rdlXhX
it hits me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnarvSpCsV
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGC09o2Fj8
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIX4YJBHWT
Not like a gentle memory montage.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9bRXetTSZ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwqNltrFgH
More like a truck.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACFgYgSBtw

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQsB3SKFwA
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWv8jvCR4B
Somewhere out there, he’s about to die.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93H4BMqYLv
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFv4CRD0F7
For killing Clara.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5HFiIeu5f

And I… I remember why.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgCgmcozEQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMqjc1BTW2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnm63Lr240
I don’t even think.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJcMHYPbKy

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX01f9da7EI
but I don’t stop.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqv2pbpiPg
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLW2Eo3yb3

Because I can see it in my head —153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEdeWmZR3y
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw747zWoyV
that boy, the one with the ocean-blue eyes and the calm that makes you want to scream,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYfIuorD9l
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaNaNjIAom
being dragged toward a block of stone.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV1kOhBl5O
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigawZJzxht
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnPMGM15PJ
By the time I reach the courtyard, my lungs are on fire.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEQ9X937P7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrKhQhvWhA
He’s there. Kneeling. Rope cutting into his wrists.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwgd6vO3e3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2DAYLJbxG
The sword’s already raised.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hmvyFKPLq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhPAsFtirR
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xAvvJZzeY

Gasps. Murmurs. Someone drops a goblet.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5XEG6DKO2
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZBIjasGb5
And the boy — he just looks at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdf3p1ybRK
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKBR4h8yv1
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws1znmbbzv
Those same eyes. Blue and endless.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U6ScGSuqY

No confusion. No panic.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdZVL0nOXN

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoTlYSlcjS
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGZDFF34Mp
And standing there, heart about to burst,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9aJeVDcLu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeRyN3hcdL
I realize something terrifying.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNUTtBqBp3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEuUwvRtO5
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf6DjRW05i
Maybe I didn’t just play the game.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmBALDLGtH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ab7ba6vR
Maybe the game’s been playing me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTIzJjuB3s
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWfxXhDWND
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNbrU3j6T1
The silence that followed my scream was so sharp, I could hear my own heartbeat trying to crawl out of my chest.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6QzDMKfzF
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dG7albKyz
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2OHewixzh
Then—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ulYTJXNZb
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8UWlvES2s
a murmur.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZxqF3pU76
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76cuL0SzCO
Then another.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPyhHFZnWT
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfwhzvWwsD
And suddenly the whole courtyard buzzed like a hive of very judgmental bees.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HjIihxdY3
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY0KxSanqV
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQXaPJstyd

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LykktrVvC
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ37F0SK4Q
The guards hesitated, looked at one another — and then at me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYugsW8ZTN
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0QICLDm75
No one moved to grab me.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjEA3U720p
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V7yYRdl6X
Instead, one of them quietly cut the ropes binding him.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBmX5ZuZ2j
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKOCmZxyp0
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKMdDe5IHn
I just stood there.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkTRqhV1Ca

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkDjYLeCDh

The blood on his hands looked like ink on silk.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2rfVWDnvf
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPuKlghNJp
His calm didn’t waver.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMslNgG6T9
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSqA42fh7M
Not once.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOF6QD3U6K
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7fiOIcEEd
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKbhEqZVnY

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYbbbTtYOr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fs25mEbbJ
Not outrage. Not horror.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs3J1u0r28
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacicQlUye4
Just detached curiosity.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEYyr4Qb7T
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl36rIhBvs
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wxMhtBks2
I wanted to scream again, but all that came out was a small, cracked laugh.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvWKHCe59j
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN3xx5ah3m
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FA6OvWO3W

The boy’s eyes found mine then.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj0h7EUL0l
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQcpd003WK
Blue. Cold. Still.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ557wn4Oyg0

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtCHWHOx7u
And then he turned.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg6BPjhxjD
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerb10uUnsW
Walked away.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkk5aRmH7X

Free.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNTsBfLnTV
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtMVqfn8Fe

Leaving me there—153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgAkVi4Wlp

alone, surrounded by murmurs,153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgzJqb2iXQ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dC1AxnHuu
wondering what kind of nightmare lets you take the blame for a murder and still somehow feel like you’re the one being executed.1234 copyright protection149ＰＥＮＡＮＡajVTCt3o8d 尼
