66 Hunger

When is this going to end?

This, constant state of pain. I pass out for an amount of time I cannot perceive only to wake up for more time that eludes me all the same.

The sizzling of my flesh has stopped, but the burning pain has not, it became worse. Healing spells did not lessen the anguish I feel nor did it give me my sight back. It was useless.

But I am able to live with it, for better or for worse. What I could not, is the new conundrum I am facing.

Hunger,

Eating away at my scattering life force by the second.

Weakly placing a hand on my abdomen, I pressed as hard as I could to numb the gnawing sensation.

It was like a cavity had been gouged out of my stomach, an emptiness I could not explain.

No amount of whining or twisting and turning could help me quell that famished feeling.

'Enough already… just p-please…enough'

I was ready to surrender to death, whomever that may be in this world, but not like this. It's too much pain, too much suffering.
