Fire Series: 4 - Before the Final Onslaught
This can no longer be a reverie. The entertainment came to an end when my real self assumed the position of my dream self. I still did not know where I was but the pain and the anxiety have definitely become real. Most of all, I was gripped by our divine instinct to fear for our lives.
Moments passed and my dream costume inevitably got beaten down by the hail storm’s tremendous wrath; my body obtained bruises due to its lessened power. I was wounded and I was aching everywhere. Eventually, I realized that the armor had started using my own life force and will as its energy. This made me heal much slower than earlier. By this time, it was only as strong as I was mentally.
Blood dripped from the injuries I sustained while trying to shield myself. I looked around me and chaos was all I saw. Ice relentlessly rocketed down from the heavens by the thousands, creating small craters as they fiercely kissed the earth. It was as if God blew on the clouds to freeze the moisture and the angels sent every icicle hurtling downwards. And while all of these were happening so fast it also seemed like I was witnessing the storm in awesome slow-motion.
I ran with every ounce of my anguish. Ultimately, I stopped caring and just let the frozen cannonballs hit me freely. Even in this fictitious place, life is unable to favor me… so it may as well end here. I wanted to cry out loud but was only capable of silent sobs; was desperate to scream but as always was simply limited to absorbing the hurt inside, never even able to implode. With a cloudy eyesight, I looked back. The faces of those who were ever significant in my past flashed before me. Much of the sudden remembrances tasted bitter. I knew that no one was going to aid me.
An earsplitting roar of thunder signaled the final stages of this apocalypse.

Ah the Fire Series is back! It’s not the same as the one on Friendster, is it? Where do you get the inspiration for this, Mon?
