My cheeks were damp with tears, and I even felt a sensation of anguish due to how harsh and ragged my breathing was.

My throat croaked and saliva fell out of my mouth.

What was he going to say to me No way, it couldnt be that I would spend the rest of my life in bed Imagining the ill-omen, I responded briefly, narrowing my eyes.

When I was approached, a flat, large face, with two fish-like eyes glistened.

Unfortunately, youre already dead.
