His Desperate Plea
I looked at the two of them, their movements so natural and at ease, and I felt a surge of madness as I clutched my head, desperate to leave.
I stormed toward the door in anger, only to be stopped by a sudden flash of light.
I sank to the floor in despair, listening to their conversation behind me.
I began to pound at my chest with my hands.
But I felt no pain.
I felt nothing at all—no sensation of a heartbeat, no awareness of its existence.
