In My Desperate Time

I'm afraid of death.

But what I fear more is something bad happens to Frances.

"No. Frances, you can't be the hostage. Serena, it was me and Linda that made the plan and Mike died because of us. Frances had nothing to do with this. Please let him go."

Serena looks at us indifferently and says in disdain, "What a poor couple! Don't worry. You both will pay for it. Neither of you can leave."

What to do now?

Even if I die for this, Frances will still be in danger. My death will be pointless.

I begin to panic, and all I can think about is how to survive from this terrible situation.

Serena looks at Frances and me and she is getting angrier.

"You have no idea how important Mike is to me. If it wasn't for him, I would have died ten years ago. He gave me a second chance, but you took him from me. I loved him, and I loved him so much that I couldn't live without him. Anyone who was related to his death must pay, and they must all die! Jane, Frances, and Linda! Even Hilda, I will dig her out of her grave and will not leave her in one piece!"

"Mike loved her, and if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have died! You, all of you deserve to die!"
