The man’s shirt was torn, stained with the same red clay from the mountain road. “You should have stayed in exile, Zander,” Michael said, his voice echoing through the dark. “Did you really think I wouldn’t notice my own son’s shadow?” Michael raised a heavy, ornate cane—the one with the concealed blade—and brought it down.

His gaze, once empty, now held a startling clarity as he looked directly at me. "Jenna, you are breathtaking today." "You can see me?" I whispered in disbelief. "Release her, Carrick.

I was surprised to see Gray on the couch. On the flatscreen was the same violent video game she habitually played. As was customary during her gaming sessions, she had on light-up blue headphones. She was also wearing a white Scopescape hoodie as well as black sweatpants, so none of her tattoos were fully visible at the moment. I caught her eye and she removed her headset.

James suddenly grabbed her throat with shocking force. "You want to betray me too! You want to abandon me too!" Michelle struggled desperately, finding it harder and harder to breathe as everything began to blur. Survival instinct kicked in as she grabbed a sculpture from the table and smashed it against James's head. James grunted and collapsed to the floor. Michelle clutched her throat, coughing violently. Looking at James lying on the ground, there wasn't a trace of concern in her eyes—only disgust and contempt. "Look at yourself. Without your parents' protection, you're nothing but trash!

"Can I take off this blindfold, please?" "Yes, you can," Shadrach nodded, taking the blindfold off. Wynter adjusted her eyes to the brightness. Slowly, she removed the blindfold, and her eyes widened in awe. She was right; they were in a garden, but not the one everyone could expect. The indoor garden was a magical oasis.

"Please, just open your eyes." Jung-Ho lightly pats Sook-Ja's cheek. The young girl, whose lifeless body is next to him, and he is kneeling. He is to blame for her current state. While returning from work, she was involved in an accident. He cries out, "Open your eyes," as his own eyes begin to blur. His skull is bruised, and tears are running down his face. He moves his fingers lightly to stroke the side of her cheek. When his hand accidentally bumps against a brand-new wound, he struggles to contain his sobs. It aches worse than anything I've ever experienced, which makes the suffering unbearable. The car is on fire and the flames are rising high into the sky.

Absolutely unhinged. “AAAAHHHH—IT’S GONNA EAT ME—I KNEW THIS WAS HOW I’D GO—” I freeze. Parker’s eyebrows shoot up so high they almost leave his face. Is that—? Yes. That’s Michael. Screaming. Like. A. Girl. We round the bend in the cave, and there they are. Michael, backed up against a rock like he’s about to faint, eyes huge, hands up like the light is going to punch him in the jaw.
