Vera Claythorne Alternate Ending
Breathing was difficult. It was harder when you had just killed someone; Vera Claythorne knew better than most. With the ocean wind biting her gun hand, her thoughts frantically scrambled for leverage in her brain.
Did I actually kill a person directly? Vera thought. Her brain transported her back to her past. Her indirect murder was flashing back.
Cyril, I couldn't save you. I can't say I'm sorry, because I just killed a man.
She dropped the gun. It was a weapon that symbolized murder and hate. Vera was supposed to be a level-headed person, but her fear dominated her.

"One little Indian boy," Vera started. She padded heavily up the porch steps in a drunken manner.
"Left all alone," she recalled. She touched the doorknob where corpses did many times before. The condition of the door knob was still nearly perfect.
The elegant house, which once inhabited ten, only had one occupant left. The lone girl entered the once joyful place with a sigh. The stillness of the air became mobile as Vera exhaled thoughtfully.
"Now that I killed the murderer, what do I do?" Vera asked herself. She decided to rest for the night and recover from all the hours she had lost. On her way to her bedroom, she past her acquaintances' corpses. However, she did not feel anything but indifference towards the dead men and women.
She paused in front of her room. It seemed to bring back horrible memories of terror and restless nights.
"This room is haunted. I will relocated somewhere else," Vera declared. "No one would care, because I'm the only survivor."
She decided to quickly go in and collect her belongings. Then she would move to a more sane, secure, and clean room.

    For some reason, I was speechless. All I had ever wanted, August, June, Rosaleen, all of my mothers, they were pulled out from under my feet. I wanted to protest T. Ray, to tell him that my mother would have wanted it this way, but I had done enough. I followed him out of that big pink house that had taken me in and wondered what T. Ray would do to me. I was sure he would half kill me, and there wasn’t a thing worse than being half killed.…

    Karin didn’t know if her legs could hold her, therefore, she slowly pulled herself along the rubble on her stomach toward the direction of the street. Even the most microscopic of movements hurt as she sluggishly moved herself out of the building. As she got closer to the street Karin could begin to see more people; she almost called out to them until she realized that they were unmoving, dead. They were scattered everywhere among the street, some half-concealed under objects and some laying in the middle of the street. Those that were outside were intensely burned beyond recognition, almost disintegrated; the smell of the bodies was sickening and…
