CHAPTER 138

- ASAMI -

I am gasping for air. My fingers feast on the swells on my neck as I struggle to make my way down the corridor.

My knees hurt. My whole body is trembling with the stings and ache caused by broken ceramic pieces dug into my skin. I’m bleeding. My lips part, releasing a sharp breath that morphs into a croak as I look over my shoulder.

Trails of blood paint the floor as I descend down the corridor. Trails of my blood.

I look back ahead of me. A loud hum leaves my mouth with each breath I take, hurting my lungs.

I need to get out of here. I need to get to a hospital quickly. My own body seems to be failing me and there’s nothing I can do about it. I have no strength in me at all to even stand properly. I’m barely maintaining a proper stamina while making my way forward.

A strained, prolonged gasp leaves my lips as I stand at the start of stairs.
