My Entry :
The blinding sunlight inflicted searing pain all over my body. I moved away from the window into the shade of the castle wall. It's hard to die when you are a vampire. That story about a wooden stake that you hear, yeah not true! That does not happen.
Garlic just induces nausea in us and make us vomit out all the blood that we drank. Nothing can kill us but I got to find a way. They call me the suicidal vamp but they do not know what I do.

When he looked at her kneeling on the floor, he knew the end had come. I finally got to where he was. She looked at him like she'd never looked before. He took her head and kissed her. He said in his ear, "You know what's going to happen now, you must stay calm. This won't hurt you. I'm right here beside you. he snarled as he felt the needle go back into his flesh. The hands caressed again.
The night before, the pain had become intense and neither he nor anyone in the house had been able to sleep. They knew he was suffering. She had been suffering for weeks, but everyone knew she was waiting for her.
One last dose had been given half an hour ago. His still, wet eyes were already giving one last sign of life. At last the dog had died, after receiving the last caress of his.

Where am I?
What just happened?
He turned around and saw her beloved wife sitting on the road crowded with few other people.
"Suzy dear...", He called out to her but she did not respond.
He walk towards her and saw her crying.
"Why are you crying?" He asked.
As he walk closer, he saw a body lying on the road full of blood. It was him!
He fall down on his knee, looking at his wife with full of regret. They was actually fighting just right before his death.

This is my entry.
Year 2040 the last war contaminated the waters. The human population decreased to such a point that we must fight to survive. We had to look for food and water in the streets, but nobody gets anything to put in their mouths. The world became a sewer. The days go by and strange things begin to happen, people are no longer heard in the streets, there is tranquility, even silence. It had not happened for years. I grabbed my radioactive mask and decided to take a look. On the streets, I only see heaps of earth around me later I see a green corpse, and its eyes are shattered.
I try to leave there, but I heard voices behind me, I raised my hands saying that I was not armed, I see that my arms, now were green, like the one of the corpse. One approached me, "he said." It's too late, and that's when I felt something stinging in my chest."It's hard to die".

But do not believe that you desire I managed to evade the moment given had to die the man l touched deliver his soul and was soulless but still living so it became a zombie who was unhappy for eternity because many times he wanted to take his own life and could never end only on a mountain.
But in the part where he is still alive he accumulated wealth but until he felt that none of that made him happy.

Johnbull placed the rope on his neck while standing on the center table in his small self contain apartment. "Is this how my life has gotten worthless that I can't even keep a security job?

"Those that are killing themselves are really trying o! No way! I won't die like this." He exclaimed and started losing the rope from his neck. "I can't die this way! I must fight on!" He exclaimed finally.

IT'S HARD TO DIE
My face got pasted upon the sands of the arena. It had the vile stench of blood, sweat and human excrement and the temperature mirrored the heat from the sun.
I lay in the sand expecting my life to end as the blood lusting Krulls butchered my teammates. I was once the king of a nation. Not here. Here, I was a mere gladiator, an outsider awaiting death in the colloseum.
But then, it is hard to die when your daughter is being held hostage, serving as the enemy king's handmaid and your wife sold to a faraway kingdom. I promised Mira I would take care of our little girl and I would find her so we could be a family again.
And so, i got up from the god-forsaken ground and tightened my grip on my sword and gave a loud battle cry before I charged the mad Krulls.
