More than just a word

Time Bomb

Run, because they don't take pity on anyone. Quick, they come after you. Don't look back, there is nothing there for you. The doors closed without giving mercy to the screams we gave when trying to escape. I can listen to them, they are a few meters away, where can we hide? I need to get you safe. I see you cry, terrified, I can't find words that can give enough encouragement to your broken soul. 

The snorts intensify, I grab air before looking for a weapon in my backpack, I watch you one last time, I kiss your forehead slowly, I turn my back, my eyes manage to see the horde of beings that are about to reach us, I press the bomb in my hands, and I run until I find them, I remove the safety and the impact begins. 

The explosion was enough to save you, I don't mind dying if with this I can get you a little more time.
