When I wake up, the first thing I see isn’t my ceiling.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DpbDA9m2R

No glow from my phone. No pile of empty chip packets.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwrLVzGRa9
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4sAlZ2Whv
Just a white canopy, silk sheets, and gold that’s way too shiny for my tax bracket.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2U4gWMb0s
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHv1MRgxYY
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9fSwZkbzU

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnsQ2j5TRh
it hits me.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJbhsie9r2
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssOGh6hrrz
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXHruMos78
Not like a gentle memory montage.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwaO0VmB0B
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQK4xzrMyk
More like a truck.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG6dmMIeew

Somewhere out there, he’s about to die.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ4lxc6E4X
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp73Ipa2piG
For killing Clara.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHdWmEv2eH

Servants gasp, guards yell, someone calls me Your Grace —190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxY3pZXWTR
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDBUNs7aXc
but I don’t stop.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvxO0nBh10
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSTTt8YzbX

Because I can see it in my head —190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG7noVb64P
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzCGpYYpx1
that boy, the one with the ocean-blue eyes and the calm that makes you want to scream,190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBLAyfiUwG
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgiMrGguZP
being dragged toward a block of stone.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqun1Ar8t0
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZntZOZFC7
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNyLfsW7b
By the time I reach the courtyard, my lungs are on fire.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEu7Ad3KIg
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlvX93U8rP
He’s there. Kneeling. Rope cutting into his wrists.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleZdFHIVFd
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr3ggQbrJO
The sword’s already raised.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVwC7tGW0c
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHNjX1cEob

Gasps. Murmurs. Someone drops a goblet.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpyXE2oZz9
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKJ0HjzvKF
And the boy — he just looks at me.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2N3omEvuh
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tf5zzMzrK
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu3CBdelGP

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iGazQYBIh
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnxbuCpGUc
And standing there, heart about to burst,190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfp61d1QJa
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWJox1hrQ7
I realize something terrifying.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTydwKkP43h
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSekpaDwXu
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNXRj7HhHF
Maybe I didn’t just play the game.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGeRSPTwpt

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EMwRYjVIt
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrXw8fZJy3
The silence that followed my scream was so sharp, I could hear my own heartbeat trying to crawl out of my chest.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjYMo1ZSQT
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5LvTxFMyb
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGbJOEccvc
Then—190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyoxNfmi4Q
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA3dilwH4H
a murmur.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrULV8YFkaS
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcYgk99YNh
Then another.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3rNGI9hnK
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpzWIu8018
And suddenly the whole courtyard buzzed like a hive of very judgmental bees.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkVqBEvUh3
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCykYScqSbX
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8At6OXz1AI

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH0LEqQrgM
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hK2FYEagG
The guards hesitated, looked at one another — and then at me.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK6ztOeRA1
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ELv0eTFG
No one moved to grab me.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aj6KPkYi5

190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqpV6nnSFj
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfx1dwtgdn

Not once.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbrkV0ROx8
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74K4uqfAt7
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0CNDABw7E

alone, surrounded by murmurs,190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEktvMIvpVy
