Its frail body collapsed on the pebbled path. Overlapping light and shadow swayed to the melody of death.
Its lifeless eyes, like dried grape skins, watched the thing ahead draw in its long tail and slowly go limp. The sound of machinery came crashing toward it. Along with that pitiful yet alluring red, its body lost the warmth it had once held.
“How ridiculous.”
“Is this where it all ends for me?”
As its consciousness blurred, it moved its body. The pain that struck made it cry out, but to a human it was no more than a soft little “meow.” The smell of blood stirred its nerves. Before long, its consciousness sank into a field of white.
"Hey, do you want to keep living...? In a place where there are many others like you?"
“Do you mean... heaven?”
"Nope."
"It’s a world that has been abandoned."
