Tear me to pieces...

Eyes.

That's all I felt.

The long way home in the dark.

Everywhere I turned, I felt something, or someone, staring at me.

Following me.

Run.

My blood ran cold as I felt a wisp of wind rush past. I took off. The cold air pushed against me, slowing me down. The wind only seem to pick up as I neared my apartment complex.

There's someone out there, looking for their next victim.

I remembered what the radio said. My heart beat sped up. I'm so close to my building, please!

I stopped.

Someone was standing in the lobby, hunched over a figure.

The figure was all bloodied.

I gasped, stepping backwards, into the street.

Somehow, the figure noticed me. It turned sharp on its heel, cutting down the door with some bladed weapon.

I couldn't get a word out before it was holding me. It gripped at my neck tightly as it brought me up off my feet. I gasped for air.

But it didn't work.

Slowly, everything faded to black.

I woke with agonizing pain in my abdomen, it was a burning sensation. My eyes flew open as I felt the scrapping of metal on my arms. I screamed out as best I could, but everything faded out again.

Even the pain.

It was gone.

I let my eyes fall close, just for a moment. When I opened them again, I was in a bright room. I glanced around, nothing looking familiar.

"Hello?" I mumbled, hoping for an answer.

"Welcome to Heaven," a figure dressed in white said.

Wait...heaven?

Am I...
