(This is a flashback)

I run through the forest. Shit. Those cops were rough. I got a few bullets in me. One in my leg. One in my hip. One in my shoulder. I can barely see straight. I don't have my glasses on, but I don't think that would've helped. 

I fall to my knees. I can hear the dogs behind me. I can hear their blood curdling cries. I can't stop to catch my breath. I slowly stand up. I have to keep going. I have to keep trying. My legs feel weaker than sticks. I'm out of bullets. A dog ambushes me.

"Shit!" I yell.

Its jaws clamp down on my arm. I wince. I knock it off. I slam my gun into the dog's face. Blood splatters in my face. I draw back. I gasp in the air. I hear more clanging and more footsteps crunching in the ground.

I grip my side. I wince. There's nowhere to run. I'm too weak to run. 

"Hello little boy." I hear a voice. 

I turn. I see a deer walking forward. I draw back. Its eyes were yellow. Wait... this is not a deer. At least it's not in whole. I can see its bones. I can see its heart beating. It's body is almost as transparent as glass.  What is this creature? I draw back. I fall backwards. I slide away.

"W-w-hat are you?" I ask.

"I've come to offer you power in another life." It says.

"What?" I ask.

"Your time here is running out." It walks over to me. 

"I'm listening." I say.

"Good... then let us become one." It says.

"Then... how?" I ask.

It opens it's mouth and charges at me.
