What is the point of anything... Am I the only actual person... Kill, everyone and then yourself... Everyone keeps staring... Unpleasant thoughts, and a shattered mind... Pain. That's what you feel, you can act like its fine. But it's still lingering... 'cry.' 'hide.' 'kill.'

Why is it so cold already? I grab both sides of my arms and rub them up and down. "Why is it this cold inside a damn pet store?" I ask aloud.

Alice just shrugs.

All a sudden, my head aches.

It feels like my brain just cracked open.

My ears start ringing.

I rub my head hoping it stops, but it doesn't. I get up and look at Alice "I'm going for a walk." I say trying to distract myself from my own head.

She just stares at me... Blankly. I slowly open the door and walk out watching her as she stared back.

Outside was like a desert, just cracked concrete put into this dead empty place, but it was just as cold, my head was still aching and there was the low ringing in my ears. So, I started walking.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Nothing changed I walked around the barren, nothing that's this one building and my headache was still there, but the ringing had gotten better.

I collapse down on the front of the door holding my head with my hands. I reach for Cactus in my pocket, trying to cling to any form of comfort i could get.

He wasn't there.

I start to panic, I couldn't breathe.

It's not enough air, I just kept breathing out faster than I could breathe in.

I rush to open the door "Where's Cactus?" I yell in a barely understandable blurt.

Alice turns her head to face me "Maybe he left. Just like you did."

The ringing comes back, a wave of nausea hits me, and my knees hit the floor as I bend down expecting to vomit. But nothing came out.

"Why did you leave them." Her voice piercing through the ringin.

"Who?" I yell. Wanting the sounds to go away

"You know who. They could have cared. They could have died trying to look for you." she yells back.

It was like my head was about to crack open and leak out of itself.

I open my eyes, but everything was waving around "You act like your so much better. Like you don't need anyone. Like they abandoned you. But you abandoned them. You're acting the same as you think they would."

Every word she said got louder. Everything was so painful.

I couldn't see, Cactus was missing, all these headaches, all this stress. All throughout her talking everything kept getting worse, until she said one last and clear thing.

"You're the one causing your own pain." And then it was over.

No more pain, no more ringing, just black. A grunting sound, and a blow of warm air in my face.
