Stop.  Just stop.  Don't move.  Don't look.  Don't blink.  Don't breathe.
Don't think.
Run.
Run faster.  Faster.  Faster than your body will let you.  Let the wind tear past your face.  Let the dirt and rocks tear past your shins.  Ignore it.  Ignore the wind, the rocks, the dirt.  Ignore the blood.  Ignore everything.  Don't turn.  Don't slow.  Don't do anything.  Just run.
Stop thinking.  Erase your mind.  Just keep running.  Keep running until you can't run anymore.  Keep running until your body falls apart.  Keep running until you're too exhausted to even make the slightest movement.  And even then, keep running.
Look at the cliff in front of you.  Don't turn.  Don't slow.  Don't stop.  Go.  Jump.  Further.  Further!  Reach further! Now fall.  Don't think anymore, your thoughts are pointless.  Don't dream anymore, your dreams are worthless.  Don't remember anything, your memories are meaningless.  Just close your eyes and fall.  Don't even bother looking at anything anymore, it's all completely useless.  
Fall into this wretched hole that you dug yourself.
Know your sin.
Don't reach it.  Don't open it.  Don't hear it.  Don't touch it.  Don't cross it.  Don't protect it.  Don't mend it.  Don't build it.  Don't see it.  Don't record it.  Don't remember it.  Don't seek it.  Don't speak it.  Don't take it.  Don't think it.  Don't understand.
KNOW YOUR SIN.
Just fall endlessly now.  Don't bother struggling against your fate.  Just disappear in that pathetic state.  Disappear and be swallowed up into the darkest recesses of your own self.
Now tell me, is that all?
What a pathetic worm you are, writhe in your misfortune if you even can!  Show me your despair!  Show me your hopelessness!  Your sorrow, your regrets, your disdain, your anguish, your pain, show them all to me! Hate me.  Despise me.  Abhor me.  Loathe me.  Detest me.  Begrudge me.  Spit upon me.
CURSE MY NAME.
Even so, know that you forged this prison in which you are now trapped.  Rot in this hell for all eternity!
If you have even a sliver of your soul remaining in that corpse, then try to resist! If you have even a fragment of your memory in that shell, then show me your strength! If your heart can even manage to beat one more time, come at me and challenge this infinite nightmare!
Come at me if you can, but by now my words probably don't even reach you anymore.
Ridiculous, just fall then.  fall fall fall fall fall fall fall fall fall FALL FALL FALL FALL FALL FALL FALL FALL FAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Look below you.  See the ground rushing up to meet you.  Don't move.  Don't blink.  Don't flinch.  Don't guard.  Don't brace yourself.  Don't do anything.  Let the earth and rocks tear apart your flesh.  Let them crush your bones.  Embrace that horrid pain through every stretch of your being.  Now get up.  Ignore the ground.  Ignore your blood.  Ignore everything behind you.  Ignore everything before you.  Brush yourself off.  Prepare yourself.  Stop.

Nice story. It was very nicely paced I felt as though I was jumping from word to word in an ever faster anticipation. I am sorry to say I just noticed your post and it was pointed out to me by someone else. I enjoyed the sketch as well.
