A few days after,

Envy consumed me,

I learned for the first time,

Of what it meant to fear.

On my way back,

From gathering materials for Father,

I discovered the predators,

Of both the dead and the living.

When they noticed me,

After gorging corpses from graves,

I felt compelled to run,

Out of pure fear.

I knew,

At that very moment,

They would eat me.

As they soared to hunt me,

I ran for my undead life.

No matter how fast,

I tried to escape,

They flew closer and closer.

I was about to die.

At the very last second,

I screamed for my father,

He came immediately,

And slaughtered our predators.

After hugging my father,

For saving my undead life,

I knew then,

Everyone has a fear.
