The dark soon turned to red. 

ELIMINATED flashed in bright characters all over the screen. I tried to push down the seething rage back down, but I found that I couldn't.

To be eliminated, PERMANENTLY from a game that I had spend my life and soul on for YEARS was simply unbearable.

I logged out of the game, knowing full well that I would never log in again. 

I stormed out of my room, and into the living room. My roommate, Zoe was lying on the couch watching TV, but I ignored her as I went to our mini kitchen area. I grabbed a bottle of beer, popped the cap with my teeth, and downed it all in a few gulps. 

"Lil?" I heard Zoe say from behind me. "Whats wrong?"

I glared at her, already apologizing in my head, but didn't stop the words from coming out. "You wouldn't get it." I said, with bitterness in my tone.

She sighed. "Is this about the Wars? Please tell me you didn't go... you said—"

"I HAD TO!" I roared. My anger had a quick fuse, and what was initially targeted at GtP and Daybreak now was targeted at my poor roommate. 

She gave me a pained expression, but something in it made me know that she understood. My rage calmed a bit, just enough to realize that I shouldn't have raised my voice. 

"I'm sorry.. it just—"

"I know.. just, try to cool off a bit, okay?"

"Okay..." I could feel the alcohol start to get to me so I gave her a quick hug and left. I didn't think she was too surprised, because my mood wasnt too stable. (just like irl… ha)

Closing the door quietly.

I hopped in my car, ignoring every red light in my body to not drink and drive. I took a swig of the beer. 

I tried to remember why I was in the car and driving but I couldn't remember. I just drove where my hands took me, everything done by instinct and not by action.

I saw the green light flash yellow and accelerated down the street. 

"Green for go, yellow means go faster, reds just a suggestion." I remembered something I heard some time ago with a laugh. As I passed the line, the light was red. I saw a flash of white light to my left, followed by a shrill noise.

I looked out of my window in horror as the truck loomed over my car. 

A searing pain running through my side. A flash of rainbows and white light blinding me. Intense heat burning in my thigh. It became hard to breathe. I saw everything and nothing at once. Felt everything, remembered everything at once, then nothing at all.
