Amber Moore: A Short Story
If Amber Moore compared everything she knew about dying to this, it would definitely be a joke.
Comparing this to everything she had seen in mystery films on tv, had learned while reading articles upon articles online about gruesome murders for class essays, and unknowingly listened to as background noise on radio podcasts from large, well-known cities to small, unknown towns with populations of under a thousand, this was nothing,

Amber could only remember one other time where she felt her heart pounding this loudly, and sadly, it was with the same person. The "Thump thump, thump thump, thump thump" that drowned her eardrums the last time was because of up innocent. It muffled the overwhelming feeling of budding love with someone she definitely knew she wanted to stay with, and that was why she was in this
