I know I’m dead. I know it before the dreams even start. Dreams, memories, whatever they are. It’s all one big darkness until that moment. No other world for me. Or maybe I am in the other world and this is my punishment, for hurting so many people with my dangerous magic. It’s only fair that it was also my undoing in the end. The first face that I see is my aunt’s. She’s telling me something. I know that because I can see that she’s opening her mouth, but I don’t hear a word that’s coming out of it. She seems upset with me. I don’t know why. I never know why. She suddenly disappears and I’m left alone again. This time, other faces start circling around me. My friends. Marcus in the front. I can even see Katie somewhere in the background. And Jake. I can’t hear what they’re saying either
