  I`ve never killed a person before.

  It`s disgusting

  The way the screaming grates your ears.

  The sight of a corpse burning

  The flesh peeling, the smell&

  "Blurgh"

  I couldn`t stop vomiting

  I am a murderer now,

  I want to say I care,

  That I feel guilty,

  But I don`t, I don`t feel anything

  I`m lost, I`ve been lost for a long time

  The only thing I can feel is my want, to survive and for answers.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  ***

  Grrrr`, a hideous beast growl menacingly at me

  It looks like some sort of cross between a bear and lion with horns

  It`s been two weeks since I entered this forest,

  Its atmosphere filled with gloom

  The trees tauntingly waving their branches at me,

  As if to mock my stupidity for entering their forest.

  The place where I was held captive was situated right on the outskirts of this forest,

  The other side a cliff drop to hell.

  Right now, I`m beginning to think I should`ve taken the cliff&

  I don`t think I can go on any longer the creatures of the forest constantly stalk me,

  Waiting till I sleep or lose focus, to jump at me,

  I haven`t slept in days, I`ve been eating poisonous berries and mushrooms to survive

  Worst of all the buzzing,

  It won`t stop.

  "Kill me already!" I yell

  "You`ve been digging at my skin any moment you get, why don`t you just eat me and get it over with!"

  

  "Come on get it over with" I say as my legs give out and I slump to the ground

  My skin crawls as it approaches it face looks ready to devour me

  But its eyes...

  The buzzing stops.

  "You`re trying to help me!?"

  It growls at me more menacingly it lashes out at me again pulling flesh of my arm

  Agh! I think it`s trying to pull me up

  "I can`t go on any longer I`m poisoned already"

  I.. I.., before I could finish, I start sputtering blood

  Is this it?

  My head getting lighter, my mind fuzzy

  Last thing I saw were massive jaws about to maul me as my eyes shut.
