BEING LATE
I was too late . When I arrived , He was almost dead , and I was too late ; he was coughing blood I was too late . I hoped I had a time machine . I was too late . The love of my life was dying in front of me . I was too late . I wanted to become a god and return to a few seconds earlier . I was too late . I didn ’ t want to accept reality . I didn ’ t know why this was happening to me . I cursed the world , hated everything , everyone . I hoped for the worst for everyone but then realized that this would not change anything , so I started praying . PAAAAF . Alchung killed William . I couldn ’ t believe what I had seen . I cursed God , cursed humanity , and then ended this cruel life . Before ending this cruel life , I killed the demon .
