“Please, just let me go.”
“If you leave, what happens to Lydia?”
“You only remember Lydia as your sister–what about me?”
He said nothing.
Desperate, I sank to my knees before him.
“I’ve never begged you before, but I’m asking you now–please, just let me go! Give me a chance to live.”
“A chance to live? What about our sister? Our father? Tell me, where are they?”

Clutching my chest, I struggled to breathe.

Calmly, I said to Noel, “Alright, I’ll go back with you.”
He paused for a moment, then said nothing.
I stood up, mechanically putting one foot in front of the other, walking ahead of him.
As the train rushed past in front of me, I charged forward without hesitation.
There was no fear, only despair.
