Inferno-Kat 2
“The thought circled his mind as Hades continued to struggle against the rope choking him. The more he struggled, the tighter the noose became. But he couldn’t stop and let death take him.
He’d been a fighter for too long to let go so easily.
His head pounded like a drum, especially behind his bulging eyes, as his air supply dwindled.
Thankfully he had a solid neck, but it wasn’t thick enough to keep the heavy rope from squeezing him like a vise. He had maybe another minute before he passed out ...and died.
He shouldn’t have let Kat make the deal. He knew the cowardly Dwellers wouldn’t keep their word. The sound of the raging fire behind him confirmed all his fears. He was going to die, so were the villagers, and so would Kat. He knew she wouldn’t allow them to take her to Baruch now. She would fight them the whole way and be shot down in the end.
Would they meet again in the afterlife? He certainly hoped so. There were many things he still needed to tell her.
Consumed by his maudlin thoughts, Hades almost missed the shape running through the town square.MoreLess
