Chapter 37: The End Is Near

Cole is sure he is close to dying. His lungs don't work right anymore. He's okay with it though. At least it means the Boogeyman will be taking him away soon. That will be good.

Chris is finally silent. Cole hears him sniffling every once in a while. But they don't talk, not like he did with Gavin. And that's okay too. Cole is tired of all of it anyway.

His body feels like someone is sitting on him. And his mind plays that trick from time to time. It's Emmy, first. Smiling down at him. Then Gavin. But Gavin is smiling too and he shouldn't be. So Cole knows he's in a happy place. Even Sam shows up once. But she doesn't sit on him. Just looks at him all dark and scary, even more so than when she was alive. Because he knows she's dead. Anyway, she doesn't stay long. He misses her when she goes.
