She stifled a scream as the arrow pierced through her skin. She knew this one had hit its mark.
Liza crumpled against the wall, feeling its cold seep into her skin, and with her last short breaths, she remembered.
She remembered being a child.
She remembered being young and carefree.
She remembered her first love and all the loves that had come after.
She remembered the people she'd walked over, and the people who had walked over her.
She remembered the pain of both.
She remembered all the things she'd love to live again, and all the things she wished that she'd chosen differently.
She remembered everything she'd sacrificed to come to this moment.
She just remembered.
At the last moment, her vision sizzled -- as it sizzled every time -- and the words flashed before her eyes.
TRY AGAIN OR END GAME
She always chose "Try again."
