Not Looking For Little Red Riding Hood

[Legione Sumus]

Peter was walking to his car when something changed. He froze, his chest suddenly in incredible pain. He fell to his knees, finding himself unable to stand. He couldn’t be having a heart attack. He took care of himself - saw the doctors frequently to make sure he was in good health. He exercised. His doctor said his heart was still strong.

But the pain was there. A hand went to his chest, gripping and hoping for relief. But it was in vain he tell, the rest of the way to the ground, flipping over on his back to stare at the sky. He was aware that there were people nearby coming - maybe to see if he was okay. He didn’t know. It didn’t matter. He knew this was the end, and as he knew it, he only regretted that he hadn’t gotten to Elyse on time. That there was a chance she would escape. With that, he held on as long as he could before eventually succumbing.
