I laid frozen on the cold dead ground as my body completely shut down. Shivers flew down my spine as fear captured my mind and imprisoned it. My shaky hand gripped onto the anchor pendant plastered around my neck as I repeatedly muttered those same words like a psychopath.

“Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome”

Tears ran down my face as they drained my eyes of life and set fire to the remains, leaving behind an empty and forgotten void.

Only mere moments later I found myself enhanced by a large dark figure. It’s shadow towered over my lifeless frame and surprisingly brought a sense of comfort as it delicately wiped my last few tears.

It was death.

Relieving me of the cruelty this world forced upon me. I felt a flame lit within me as relief flooded my mind and all my past worries had disappeared in a blink of an eye.

I am finally at peace.
