- "Thomas! Thomas! Come downstairs! Your father and I have something
- to discuss with you!"
-
- Thomas sat on his bed cross-legged, staring at the glistening surface
- of the scissors. See how they shine and gleam in the light? See how they
- sparkle? Thomas inserted one scissor into each of his nostrils. Hehe! They
- tickle! And the blade is so cold! Well, nevermind about that. Thomas pushed
- the scissors up into his nose. He felt something pop and felt the warm blood
- start to drip, then gush, from his nose. He pushed up some more, but the
- septum dividing his nostrils got in the way. Impatiently, he closed the
- scissors, cutting it apart, then pushed up some more. The scissors started to
- slip because of the blood covering them, but he still pushed them up. He felt
- them stop against something hard. Hmm... must be a bone. He slammed the
- scissors against it a few times, then pulled it out of his nose and smashed
- them up with all his might. He felt the bone crack and give way right before
- he felt a sharp pain in his head, then a peculiar tingling feeling spreading
- throughout his body. He let go of the scissors and they dropped from his nose,
- which was now nearly obliterated from his face. There was a spreading red mark
- where his nose used to be. He felt no pain now, he felt very light, like a
- feather. He felt himself floating... he wasn't aware of the blood pouring from
- his face, or of the small trickle of blood starting to come from his ears
- either. He just felt the immense ecstasy of floating on nothing, of peace and
- warmth and light, all mixed into one. He rolled around on the air he was
- floating on and a sharp knock on his head brought him back to reality. He
- wasn't floating, he was on his bed, and he had just fallen off. He staggered
- to his feet, wondering what had happened. His head hurt, but his nose was
- killing him, so he walked to the mirror, and looked into it. He stared at
- himself, and screamed.

- Vanessa stared down the barrel of the gun. She didn't think it looked
- particularly dangerous, just kind of ominous. She didn't even know what kind
- of gun it was, she had just stolen it out of her father's desk when he was out.
- She opened the chamber and noted with satisfaction that all six bullets were
- there. Six were plenty, six were more than enough. She carefully closed the
- chamber of the gun and put it to her left ankle and pulled the trigger. The
- bullet came out of the gun with infinite slowness, it seemed to Vanessa. She
- could just pull away, and it would all be ok. But she couldn't pull away. She
- looked away from her ankle for a second, then looked back at it, and saw the
- hole in the carpet. At first she thought she had somehow missed, but then she
- looked at her ankle, with the neat little hole popped right through it. Right
- through it. The blood started to drip down to her sneakers.
-
- She pointed the gun at her right ankle and repeated the previous
- procedure. And she still felt no pain. No pain at all. She stood up, took a
- step, and collapsed. Her torn-up ankles couldn't support her. No problem.
- She sat up, and stuck the barrel of the gun into her left elbow. She stared at
- it for a moment before pulling the trigger. It was loud. For some reason, she
- hadn't noticed the loudness with the ankles, but now she did. And this time,
- there was pain. Oh, so much pain, hurts, hurts, hurts, so much pain, waves
- of pain. Her whole elbow was ripped apart and blood was spattered everywhere.
- She stuck the barrel into her right elbow, and pulled the trigger without
- hesitation. This time there was no pain, and no noise either. Unfortunately,
- there was no color either, as everything had turned sort of a light-grayish
- white shade. Never mind.
-
- Vanessa looked down at herself and thought. Then she knew. She
- inserted the barrel of the pistol into her navel and pulled the trigger. Her
- whole body jerked backwards and she was thrown back a few feet. She looked
- down and saw just a large hole in the middle of her stomach. Vanessa felt
- blood starting to drip down her legs and felt along her back. There was a hole
- there, too. She turned around and saw that the bullet had gone right through
- her into the dresser.
-
- She heard feet running up the stairs. "Vanessa! Vanessa! What was
- that noise! Vanessa! Are you all right?!" Her mother had come home. This
- would speed things up a bit. Her mother walked in the door and staggered back
- a step. She fell to the floor and stared at Vanessa, nearly hyperventilating.
- "Oh my god, Vanessa! Vanessa, my baby, what happened to you?" Vanessa smiled
- sweetly at her mother, inserted the barrel of the gun into her left ear, and
- pulled the trigger. She heard her mother screaming in the background, but
- right before she heard the screams, she thought, "What about my right ear?"
- And then there was the noise again, only much, much, much louder than before.
- Too loud. It felt like her head was exploding. She was vaguely aware of a
- throbbing pain in her head, but wasn't concerned about that right now. She was
- aware of a bright light, however, a very bright light. And she looked towards
- it, then tried to look away, for it was blinding her. She couldn't move her
- head. Then she closed her eyes, and felt the light burning against her
- eyelids, and then her eyelids were on fire, and burned away. She screamed for
- the first time since the whole thing had started. Then her whole body was on
- fire, and she heard her mother's screams grow dimmer and dimmer until they
- ceased.

- Bradley ran down the hallway as fast as he could and leaped with all
- his might through the thick stained glass window. He heard it shatter, and
- had a feeling like thorns scratching him all over his body. Opening his eyes,
- he saw the ground coming closer at an incredible rate. He tried to maneuver
- himself to land on his feet, but ended up landing headfirst. He covered his
- head with his arms, and literally heard each bone shatter into several pieces.
- His arms were bloody with pieces of bone sticking through the skin in many
- places.
-
- Then Bradley stood up. He walked to the intersection and jumped in
- front of an oncoming vehicle. The screech of brakes was deafening as the
- driver tried desperately to stop his car, but hit Bradley head-on anyways,
- throwing him into the air. The car spun out of control, smashing into a nearby
- store and exploding, killing the driver and two others.
-
- Bradley started to stand up but noticed that he was missing a leg. He
- tried to crawl but his arms felt like rubber, and looked like rubber too, bent
- and twisted like a pretzel. Bradley looked up just in time to see the truck
- surging forward. One of the big wheels ran right over his head. The skull
- crunched like a potato chip under the huge wheel. He felt his blood, under
- immense pressure, force holes through his arteries and skin, to squirt in all
- directions. Then this tremendous pressure, it seemed, lifted from him, and
- then there was nothing.
-
- ...and then there was nothing.
