Chapter 70 - [Bonus ]70. The Gate Of Regrets (1/2)

As the seconds passed nothing seemed to calm down.

The metal walls started to shake in and out as if the building was like the inside of a whale.

Mack, with his two hand covering his face was unable to see it, but even if was, his mental state would not allow him to.

Because when engrossed in a feeling humans could became blind to all around them.

And Mack was puting out all his accumulated rage. All that rage that was kept being hidden under his facade of a strong and untouchable man.

Mack was indeed strong, but even the strongest man would have soft spots, had regrets, had rage, fear and love.

Thats the cruelty of mankind, every single human could achieve enormous accomplishments, but in the process of doing it they would have to sacrifice a part of them. They would have to die..

And today was Mack day to die.

To be able to continue forward, he would need to let his old self die.

”NOOO!”

Screamed Mack, remembering someone stabbing his father, he avoided that memory like he avoided himself from connecting with others.

Essence exploded in a strong momentum all around Mack as he screamed.

The building he was inside shook and a wall by his side bended and was ripped of the building flyng miles away.

~ to live you must die ~

Said a voice inside Mack head, and for a glimpse of time Mack was able to regain consciousness, but was only a glimpse.

”NEVER! I WILL NEVER LET THEM DIE!”

Screamed Mack remembering of his father and the few friends he had in life. He would prefer to truly die than let those memories and their sacrifice be forgotten.

A man, is his own memories, is his own regrets, is his own passions.

That was what make them stronger.

That was what make them move foward. That was what make them never stop.

~ stop struggling and embrace my calling ~

”NEVER”

Screamed Mack admist tears that rolled from his closed eyes, closed so tight that seemed as if Mack would lose himself if he opened them.

Opening his eyes he would accept the true of this cruel world but also lose his himself.

And lose his hopes.

Hia.life seemed to flash before his eyes as every single moment that he already lived was replayed in his mind.

Shame, awkward, joy, tears, rage, lust...

His face now was a reflect of his memories as they replayed in his own mind.

Mack was trapped.

Trapped in a cage inside his own mind, a cage made of hia worst memories.
