A Deal With Death
As i sit in this hospital bed right now i start to get weary and i stand up to catch my bearings and i collapse. and as soon as i hit the ground i fall down the rabbit hole so to speak. i reach the end and fall out of a rain gutter, and i fall into this dark street.
As i look around there is nothing but these old rickety projects for houses built in this
"Jack The Ripper" looking area.
and i started walking and saw someone and with every step i took my breathe got a little colder. it wasn't concerning me until i started shaking i got so cold, and i realized i didn't know where the hell i was going i guess i had just been walking for 2 hours. and i stopped walking and realized i was in the same spot where i fell out of the rain gutter. now this bothered me,
But then i heard a very old man's soft voice calling my name, i didnt know the man but i recognized the voice.
so i started to run towards the echo of his voice and finally caught up with him but as soon as i went to touch him he collapsed into a lifeless corpse laying on his stomach wearing exactly what i was wearing and i turned him over and it was me.............
and then i woke up and i found out i was in a 2 and a half month coma and i just came out..
