I Died

‎I died.

‎Yes, you read that right.

‎I died on December 25th, 2025.

‎Is it an irony that it happened on the day celebrating the birth of Jesus?

‎It was not a peaceful passing, it was a harrowing and agonizing ordeal.

‎I was fading, lost in a blur of pain.

‎Everything felt heavy, and the air was thick with a metallic scent.

‎The crimson blood that dripped out of my right eye.

‎Ohh, it has been removed, now a hole.

‎I was still alive then.

‎A knife still stuck to my chest.

‎I struggled for every breath, but the air felt out of reach.

‎My vision slowly darkened as my eyes shut for the last time, my hands placed on my mother's necklace on my chest.

‎I had no tears left to shed.

‎A heavy fog settled over everything.

‎I couldn't see my killer anymore.

‎The world around me vanished into a blur.

‎Fragments of my memories flashed before me.

‎Death is close.

‎Death is here.

‎The muffled voices nearby eventually faded into silence.

‎I felt myself being moved, though I could no longer tell where I was being taken.

‎I felt my mother's necklace break loose.

‎Then, everything stopped.

‎I died on December 25th, 2025.
