Reasons To Stay Alive Book 소설 & 이야기

"To choose their people's survival over their own. To accept death so others might live. That's what makes it meaningful. What makes it powerful enough to breach dimensions." She looked around the room, her ancient eyes cataloging each face. "So here's your fifth option, children. Someone volunteers. Everyone else escapes to the old world. You build a new society far from humanity's reach. Free. Safe. Forever beyond their weapons and their fear." "But one person stays behind to die," Stephen said.

Being alive is the best. No matter how painful, how hopeless life may feel—if there’s a chance to stay alive, then stay alive. Raina said, “Right.” The words lingered, hard to fully grasp in the moment. After a pause, she added quietly, “There was a time when things were really bad for me too. I didn’t think I could go on. I wanted to die every day… But, like you said—if you can live, then live.” ***

“But I do. I see you. And I want you to stay alive. Not because of him. Because you’re not done yet.” “Stay alive for what?” I asked, voice sharp. “What the hell am I supposed to do now? What am I even good for?” He leaned closer. “For yourself.” I closed my eyes. I didn’t believe him. Not really. He moved slowly, lying back against the pillows. “Come here.” I swallowed, nodded, and slid under the covers. His arm came around my waist instinctively. My cheek pressed into his chest. The steady thud of his heart grounded me more than I expected.

The only difference was that she has a reason to live while he doesn't have. She took her drink and also sipped from it. "I have a fucked up story but it's a secret. I want everything to end but, I can't" "Why?" He asked. "Huh?" She asked as if she didn't hear him. "Why can't you end everything? I could just drink poison and die. It'll be over" he said. "I have to think of the ones I'm leaving behind. Will they be okay without me? Don't you have people that love you? They can be your reason to stay alive" Michelle asked him. He smirked and gulped everything in his glass at one go.

"Please be patient, we did vote but the final decision is not up to us. This time we had two votes for, one against, and three people want to go but with some conditions. These conditions are: our voting system will still be in place, it's our safeguard in case things go sour. We need you to craft some tools for us and teach us some of your surviving skills. We also need you to promise to get us to a town as soon as you can and, finally, there will be a period of one week. If by the end of that period we decide to part from you, we'll be moving to your vicinity" "And what happens if, let's say, one day you decide to vote to exile me?" "That's not going to happen without a good reason" "I don

Damn, I'm jealous of my life, I don't want to die, I have dreams, ambitions, desires, and a love that I want to stay with. I frowned before pulling myself together. I know it's downright disgusting what I decided but I am a person without morals, so no one blames me for thinking of myself first. The world may crumble, and the others may well all die but I have to stay alive, for my parents who were so cowardly murdered, for me who wants to live and enjoy all that life has to offer but especially for him.

he growled, “why the fuck she’s still alive.” I clenched my jaw. I didn’t have a neat answer for him, not one that made sense outside of my own head. There were a dozen reasons, maybe more. The easiest one was simply because I let her live. But there was more. There was something under all that dirt and wildness that didn’t scream ‘enemy.’

“Where are you going?” “You don’t want me here, so I’ll leave on my own.” “I told you, I won’t send you away.” “Should I stay here and watch you choose her over me, then?” She jerks her arm out of my hold. “Do you know what kept me alive when Theodore locked me up? You. The thought of you. I had to see you again, so I had to survive. Do you know how many shifters he killed because they went against him or tried to escape?”

Raven stated. "It's just like the reason why we're still here with you. Even if there's a lot of reasons to leave you, we only need one reason to always stay by your side. You need us. You need us to feel like you're still alive, that you're worthy of love, that you're capable of love and being loved. We don't know how much you despise this cruel and selfish world. All we know is you are our precious friend. No one, not even you, can change it. If you don't have a reason to exist in this dreadful world, we'll give you one. You are not alone as you once were. You've already got us. Live not only for yourself, but also for us. Live for the sake of everyone. Live in order for us all to be happy
