In this life, consider it a debt repaid. Finally, on a night one month later, Stellan died. When he went, his lips were still moving. I had to lean close to make out the word. It was Ansel's name. I stood in the doorway of the cell for a long time without speaking. Then, I had his body wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into the common burial ground. It was not an act of cruelty. He simply did not deserve more than that. Daphne died a few days later. She starved to death. From beginning to end, I never went to see her again.

His voice was low and clear as he announced, "He has been dead for over three days. The body shows clear signs of postmortem lividity and early bloating. The victim appears to have died from mechanical suffocation." Hearing the words "dead for over three days", Dad reeled. The color drained from his face instantly, leaving him as pale as a sheet of paper. When an officer pulled back the white cloth covering my face for identification, Dad finally got a clear look at my swollen, distorted features, mottled with dark purple spots. He could no longer explain it away as paint or a tantrum. The next second, he doubled over against the wall, dry-heaving violently as if he were going to throw up hi

Dead people don’t… I touched my chest… ba‑dump, ba‑dump… it was there—my heartbeat. So… why is my heart beating like a trapped rabbit if I’m dead? And if I was not, then what was this place? I couldn’t possibly be dead. Could I? [Player 09. Player 013. Reaper 077. Head to the Exit. Bus doors will be open for survived players after dawn.] An old man from seat number 09 stood and waited at the entrance of the door. He didn’t seem scared at all. As if he was used to all of this.

Now she was a pile of mangled flesh lying in the morgue. I turned and went back inside, locked the door, and slid down against it until I was sitting on the floor. My phone vibrated. "Backup slots are full. In the next cycle, death cannot be transferred." The next day, the sun came up, and the world went on as usual. Except for Unit 703. There was still no movement. I washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror. The scratch at the corner of my eye was still there. It was thin, narrow, and capped with a faint scab.

"Yes, they make such a great couple!" "Her boyfriend wasn't even hurt that badly. He's just a little shaken up. Yet, she's tending to him so carefully." "Exactly. And look at this patient here, Julian Marshall. He nearly died, but no one has come to visit him even once." The two nurses spoke casually, but every word felt like a stab to my chest.

Earis “I can't breathe… I can't breathe!” I screamed as Vanya held me in the back seat and Marble drove. Apparently, I had ingested something called a cell eater and it was slowly chewing through my cells. I was dying at a cellular level, and I felt each cell slowly disintegrate. “I should have known you were trying to do something stupid! Now I'm also dead because of you!” Marble barked as she pushed the gear harder. We've been on the road for hours. Marble had said we had to go to St. Calliope's college, if anyone could have something to extract the cell eater, it would be Iris De Compte.

"You died." Nickey's gun was already aimed at her head. "Trina killed you. We watched you bleed out." "You watched a clone bleed out. A convincing one, I'll admit. But still just meat and circuitry." His mother stepped over Chen's corpse without looking. "I've had twelve backup bodies for years. Kill one, another activates. I'm functionally immortal. Annoying, isn't it?" Forty-five seconds until detonation. "The children—"

It was William, the Alpha from the Ice Plains Pack, standing behind me. His voice was filled with sorrow, "When you sent him to the Ice Plains, I knew he died painfully. But I didn’t expect... A ten-year-old cub, betrayed by his pack, mauled by lone wolves, abandoned by his father... and forced to watch himself bleed to death." Andrew's final memories were of waiting for death. Even if I had reached him in time, I wouldn’t have been able to save him because the only crystal healing chamber had been taken over by Lucas.

If he kept this up, it would turn into stomach cancer. Charlie had to undergo surgery, and it took three hours before he was saved. "No more stimulation. They've been working too hard for too long, and their bodies have been subjected to long-term exhaustion. This must stop." We thanked the doctor and tended to them. This was bad. We were going to get a divorce, but now they were hospitalized, and I sighed. When I got into his ward, Christopher lightened up considerably. He held my hand as tightly as he could, in case I ran away again.

The light from outside streamed into the cellar, dispelling the darkness inside that space. I moved closer to look inside the cellar. My body was there. The cellar was a closed space, and the temperature inside was just right. Even though I had only been dead for three days, my body seemed like I had probably died for more than ten days.
