"The end comes in many shapes and forms. It doesn't just happen to one singular person, but affects them all on a mass scale. One purchase of a pie, can lead to another's death.

Knowing them, it would be encouraged to do what I was about to do. But so what? They won. Like always, they won. But this time ... I would win too.
Space grew closer and closer, the sun was far away, but her glare was reaching way far out ... catch me! Catch me before I fall! Ha Ha! Like the good old days, ain't that right Rudy?
A pudgy grinning face, shining with sweat, deep bags under his eyes; it was right before him. The past was right before him...
