But actual death? She hadn't truly wanted it. Her mother was supposed to come home and find her lifeless body, right on the brink of death --- but not beyond saving. She swallowed one pill after another, picturing the horrified look that her mother would have when she found her lying on the bathroom floor.
This was meant to be a statement about her misery. I cry for help that her friends and family wouldn't ignore. She would be rushed to the hospital, her stomach would be pumped, and she wouldn't be ignored anymore.
But her mom didn't come home that night.
Cass waited as her life slipped away, praying for her mother to walk in. Only when she found she no longer had the strength to reach for the phone to call for help did she realize what an awful mistake she had made.
Her sole stood up, stepping out of her body and looking down on the grotesque body laying there on the floor for a moment before everything went black.
When Cass awoke, she was was in pain. She tried to move, or even determine where the pain was coming from, but she could do neither. At first their was only darkness and pain, but after a while, she became aware of herself and what she was. Though she could not see, she could sense what and where she was, she could feel the other shrubs around her, and when their thorns became tangled with hers, it hurt.
There were others here, too. Moving, gasping, and crying out. Running through the thorns, chased by snarling animals. The pain was nearly unbearable. Cass could feel her branches breaking and bleeding as the animals crashed over them.
What is this? Why is this happening?
Cass had no way to tell how much time passed as she sat their in pain, unable to move as she was perpetually trampled over and over again. Was it days? Weeks? Years? This place was timeless.
After a while her memories came back to her, and she realized exactly where she was --- this was Hell.
