Page 86 - Fallen Thoughts

The dream shifts again and I’m inside the lab. It’s just Lucas and I, the

conflict outside can’t be heard and it’s eerily quiet. I do everything in my limited

power to wake up from the nightmare, but just like every night I can’t.

“Hey Kim, if I don’t make it,” Lucas starts.

“Shut up, we’re not doing this, we get out together, we’re a team.” I

interrupt looking at him.

“Kim, the controller is broken. One of us has to stay to detonate the bomb.”

Lucas states grabbing my arm.

“You can’t absorb a bomb at close range let me stay…” I shout.
“Your shield isn’t strong enough to stop a bomb this size so that’s out of the

question.” Lucas fumes, “You are going to survive Kim, I wouldn't be able to live

with myself if it was you.”

“I won’t be able to live without you!” I scream with tears in eyes.
“Kim you have to…”

Chapter 4

I wake up sweating and on the floor instead of the couch where I fell

asleep. I lay my head in my hands trying to erase what had happened next.

Lucas set the bomb despite my pleads. I couldn’t even help myself from

stupidly teleporting out of there. Lucas died because I was weak.

Maybe my shield would’ve held, I’m stronger than I let on but then again the

knockback of my shield breaking would have disabled me for a few minutes and

we didn't have the time. Maybe we could have set it and I could have glitched us
