Anesthesia Alternate Ending

Improved Essays
Anaesthesia tumbled down a couple hundred feet under Night’s Bridge—rocks, gravel and other miscellaneous rubble splattering in all directions as she flailed her limbs violently in the air. After what felt like an eternity of rolling in the darkness, she finally skidded to a halt at the bottom of the pit and opened her dreary eyes, only to see horizon of stark nothingness. After a moment's pause, she shoved her hands in her pockets, fished out a candle and a lighter and ignited a flame, brightening her vision in the pitch black night. [PrPP]

He exited the building through the back door and wandered around the vacant area, unsure where to dispose the body. Finally, he settled on a small patch of grass right by the facade of the building. Using only his feet, Mr. Croup dug a hole into the ground and threw the corpse in the hole.
