Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to care, if I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to keep.

Wrong prayer.

If I die now, father in Heaven please accept my sou-

No, no, no, lord, please, no, I don't wanna die, at least not just yet.

A shot rings out, and I crank an eye open. I don't feel any pain, still, I open my second eye and pat my body down checking for a wound or even blood. Relief pours through me when I don't find any, but as I look up, shock spirals through me...
