Better Off Dead Novels & Stories

She dead Anderson, however, was still alive, but only barely and only for a little while. He was struggling to breath since one of the sheriff’s bullet went into his throat. With all his strength, he pushed play on the recorder before darkness slowly took over. It was not the outcome Anderson had been hoping for, but for some reason, he was more than content. He had died once again, but he had the widest smile.

“Did any of them say ‘I’m glad I’m dead because death is better than slavery’? Did any of them say ‘I died for decency and it’s better than being alive’?

I nodded, feeling my throat close up. "And then what happened?" Zomb asked. "They wanted me to try to kill hostages, missing men and women. The thing was they were from our city, they were from MAIN CITY." my voice broke then, and I looked to the ground, as shame filled me. "That's why they changed you to dead. You were too soft, and had heart." Zomb replied, but she didn't say it like it was a bad thing. She said it like she was relieved at the thought that I still clung to my humanity.

I pulled up the video from that online post and showed it to her. Sophia's face turned pale, and she was left speechless. Eventually, she lowered her head and turned to leave, but then she stopped at the door. "Would you believe me if I told you that I never understood how much you meant to me until I lost you?" "It doesn't matter anymore, Sophia. Whatever I felt for you is already gone." Just after I closed the door, the noise came from outside my bedroom. Samantha Carter poked her head out, hair tousled and eyes sleepy. "I can smell the food," she murmured.

she pulls my head back up "I'm-I'm not sad," I tell her surprised by my mind and feelings, "At all," I add "Well you never actually feel pain," she says "That's a condition, Mika.

She questioned as shock crossed her face, "I knew you were special," she whispers

Only the mess and my battered body remained. As I curled on the icy floor, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Sofia. "Ella, see that? Vincenzo believes me in the end. So what if I lost the baby? I still have him and the entire Camorra family behind me. And you? You're nothing but a cast-off no one wants. A bitch like you deserves to die!" I picked up the phone and typed three words. "As you wish." The moment it was sent, I deleted all our chats and that number I'd had for eight years.

Whatever warmth had been left in his eyes was now completely gone. "Let's just pretend we never had a son like you, you ungrateful bastard. "My only son is already dead. You killed him." He waved his hand wearily, as if every last bit of strength had been drained out of him. "Get him out of here." "No—!!!" Roger's scream was dragged out into the rain until it faded completely.

"What's wrong with my legs? Why can't I feel them yet? Are the doctors at this hospital useless? Can't they even handle a minor injury like this?" "Um…" "Stop hesitating and spit it out!" A bad feeling crept up Leonard's spine. His eyes locked onto Luca as if ready to tear him apart. Luca trembled uncontrollably. With no other choice left, he steeled himself and revealed the doctor's diagnosis. "Mr. Falkner, the doctor says the tissue in your legs has been dead for a long time. It's beyond repair. There would be no way to save them."

"Congratulations, Lucian. You have completed the mission. I will soon depart. Before I go, I have a few gifts for you." One video after another played before my eyes.
