Snippet #2455158

Seung took a deep breath as she felt her thoughts being read like a book. She imagined the hat girl tearing her head open and clawing at her mind. Her fear of persecution and being watched surfaced, and the hat girl read her fear of losing control of herself and becoming violent and destructive. She was struck back when she felt the ethereal claws run into her face, hearing a scream in the background. She tried to calm down when she hit the ground, but the ceiling turned to snakes. She saw a snake drop the floor next to her. She leaped up and onto a narrow ledge, away from the snake.

The hat girl appeared as a shadow next to Ann, gently dragging her claws against Ann's skin. "The world has been moving on without you. You're gone, but they don't care. You didn't change anything, and they don't care. All you've done for people is take up space," She said with conviction and calm.

Seung closed her eyes as the snake slithered closer. They were gone when she opened them. Impalement, She heard a woman sing. Seung leaped down off the ledge gracefully, as she did in dance. She started to get nauseous at the idea of having her head impaled by a dagger. She stared at the higher part of the wall, where she saw a kitten's foot. "Blood. All in a good game is blood. I don't want to play in the damn game."
