Unwanted Omega
I carried them without complaint, but tonight the burden pressed differently, almost suffocating.

“Bloody hell!” I growled, clutching the wound. The sting was actually nothing, just that I got surprised.. but the blood—it fell too freely, splattering against white like roses blooming in winter. “A mere thorn and I am now dripping blood again…”
