Speaking of Tetsu, I think
his dead body is watching.
Or maybe it’s just me wishing
for Tetsu to save me or for
anyone to save me.
“Help!” I scream,
“Somebody help!”
To silence my voice,
Ronin uses both of
his hands to wrap
around my throat,
giving it a tight
squeeze.
Air to my lungs is limited
as Ronin has his way with
my body by force.
I put my hands on Ronin’s
face, managing to scratch
his right cheek before
giving up.
My hands fall back to
my sides,
vision from my eyes is
slowly fading.
There’s no oxygen and
just crazy Ronin trying to
end my life.
He’s winning.
Like a miracle, Ronin
removes his hands from
my neck.
I begin coughing and
gasping for air, yet I’m
interrupted by Ronin.
He uses a blade to slice
my throat.
Terrible pain that my mind
can’t comprehend is what
befalls me as cold liquid
oozes out uncontrollably.
Ronin moves down to
my neck, and my eyes
roll back.
Death overtakes my
will to live, and darkness
welcomes me with open
arms.
