11
My body felt like it was being ripped apart. My arms, legs, and head were pulled in different directions, and I thought they would pop.
All around me was a rushing sound, like a furious waterfall.
The darkness swarmed around me, pushing down on every square inch of my body.
My eyes couldn't adjust. I couldn't see.
I couldn't breathe.
I inhaled shadows, and they swarmed through me.
I didn't know what the hell was happening to me.
I was either dying or I was…
Nope. I was probably dying.
I wanted to scream, but the shadows filled my mouth and I couldn't speak.
Slowly, I suffocated, and the shadows swarmed my body like a feeding frenzy.
I closed my eyes.
Damn glyph traps.
I hoped Darius wasn't suffering the same fate.
My chest swelled as I took what felt like my last breath.
