I Am Dead

I was hurt, bleeding like hell and every cell of my body was aching. Fatigue was getting the better of me and I was losing conciousness with every step I took. I had been stabbed on my left arm and there was plenty of bruises all over my body. I was finding it very difficult to run but I had no choice other than to run as my life was at stake. I was being chased by a gang of ruffians armed with dangerous weapons. I had no clue what so ever about where I was and where I was running to. I knew I can't run much longer as I was bleeding profusely and was running out of energy. I had to escape from these barbarians somehow. As I was planning a way to escape, I came across a big bungalow with a very large courtyard. I thought of giving those ruffians a slip by hiding inside that bungalow oblivious to the fact that the bungalow was those ruffian's hideout! I increased my pace and ran faster to evade the run pursuit. As I neared the bungalow, the courtyard seemed like what appeared to be a maze. With no second thoughts I entered it. Soon after I entered the maze, I found out that it was constructed with walls well over twenty feet in height on all sides. There were two paths, one led straight into the heart of the maze and the other, as far as I can see, traced a path along the circumference of the maze. I took the latter path.

I walked for about a minute or so and came across a six foot wall that marked the end of the path. I was walking slowly in order to catch my breath. I reached that six foot wall and was feeling confident that I was safe but horror struck once again as I found two of the five men who were chasing me on the other side of the wall. Both of them seemed unarmed and I was thinking of fighting my way past them but my body just wouldn't cooperate and I immediately thought of retreat. As I turned to retrace my path, I saw the remaining three ruffians charging towards me with spears in their hands. I knew I had to fight my way out of this mess. Fighting two men instead of three would definitely give me more chances of survival. Thinking so, I jumped over the six foot wall and ran towards the two thugs. They saw me and took out their clubs from behind a bush. One stood where he was and the other approached me with his club in hand, aimed for my head and gave a huge swing. I evaded his attack and directed a powerful kick towards his groin region. It connected and he was down on his knees the next second. I took his club and clobbered him. It was one down and four to go. Seeing his patner being assaulted, the secong thug came to save him. He went down in a similar fashion to his patner. By this time, the remaining three ruffians had jumped over the wall and were running towards me to maul me. Then suddenly, there came a voice "STOP" from behind me. I turned around and saw the head of the gang standing a few feet away pointing a gun at me. Before I could do anything, he triggered the gun shot and the bullet made a bore into my forehead. I fell on the ground and the message GAME OVER flashed all over the screen! I was in no mood to start it all over again as I had already been at it for hours. I decided to watch a movie instead.
