《Partners In Death》A Dramatic End to A Boring Life.

Advertisement

POV: Isozaki Izumi

After the meeting, everyone in Miscul started heading home, including me.

I was shocked to learn that the person I admired the most is going to retire, whenever I'm in a bad mood, I always use that road, Blickroad.

Blickroad is a road that is not used much by people, it is empty most of the time.

Except for the cars that rarely come through here, I have never seen anybody using this road.

It had forest on one side, and a riverbank on the other side, which was next to a garbage dump, the road extended alongside the river.

Since it was far from the city lights and it wasn't used much, it was dim, which made it possible for the stars to show off their brightness, the stars light reflected on the water which made the landscape look pricelessly beautiful.

And a scene like that made all my worries seem small.

I would go through that road while humming and singing as loud as I can.

That day was no exception, I went there and as soon as I walked away from city noises, I started singing, "I heard that you walked out again~ I heard that you cried~ come this way let me be your friend~ my heart's open wide~ we can live here~ we can die~"

Perhaps I was so into the song that I wasn't able to notice it.

Out of nowhere, a truck started screeching, it seemed like one of the tires went flat and it went out of control.

To my luck, it headed straight to me, I could see everything as if it was in slow motion.

I tried to avoid it when I noticed it, but it was already too late.

The truck hit my left side and I flew all the way to the riverbank, the truck then hit a garbage dump in front of it.

The pain was unbearable, I couldn't feel my left arm and my left leg and it seemed like my right foot got twisted when I tried to avoid the truck, I couldn't do anything but scream in pain as loudly as I can.

I couldn't possibly swim back to the roadside in that state, I was hoping someone in the truck will notice me and come save me eventually but even that slight hope was doomed when the truck suddenly exploded.

And like my luck couldn't get any worse, a piece of the exploded truck flew right at me, unable to avoid it, it hit me in the stomach and tore my ribs apart.

I started coughing blood and my screams got louder, as I started panicking more by the helpless situation I was into.

The water got deeper and I was unable to stay floating on the surface, as I started drowning I had no power at all to resist the water.

Then a white light shined so brightly, was it the stars? It seemed so beautiful, but it started to fade into black as I started losing my conscious.

I knew right then, that this will be the day I die.

This is how my life will end.

Ironically, even though it was a boring life that I haven't accomplished anything in, didn't have any attachments to, in that situation, all I could think of was, "I don't want to die"

Was it my human nature?

Or was it just unsightly resistance to the cruel fate I came across?

I was shocked by my own thoughts, and tears of regrets, which I never thought I would ever shed, started overflowing and mixing with the water.

On that day, the beautiful scenery I had always seen, just seemed like a scene from hell.

And on that hellish night, I died.
