Saw Rebirth

So, it's all come down to this...

Somewhere, somehow,

something went wrong.

My life wasn't supposed to turn out this way.

Now, I can't help but wonder...

"...am I too late?"

SAW Rebirth

"Inertia", the word defined my life.

I'd somehow worked my way so far into a rut that I felt there was no way out.

Or at least no way out that didn't require me to do something.

And when it came to taking action,

well, there was always tomorrow.

I knew there was more to life.

I was just too lazy to grab it.

I mean, consider Paul, a bore for sure,

but he had it all - wife, kids, the works.

I've told him once, that I'll never fear him someday too.

Nothing's wrong, John.

I just need more from you.

A commitment... she wanted a commitment that I just wouldn't - couldn't - make.

And so she left.

For years, nothing changed.

I just played the role I'd been assigned,

went through the motions...

My experience with Jill clinched it - life was empty.

Then...

"I got sick."

It hit me suddenly, but hard.

Every night I'd come home and puke my guts out.

Every day I'd wake up feeling just a little bit weaker.

It's really quite serious although it's not far advanced...

You've got a particularly virulent strain of cancer...

We're talking about a question of "when" not "if" I'm afraid.

I, but...

I'm truly sorry, we'll do all we can to make you as comfortable as possible.

So that was it, I'd squandered my life and now I was about to lose it.

I bet the doc was a real shoulder to cry on, huh?

Cold-hearted bastards, the lot of them.

What are you talking about?

They're all screwing around on their wives.

I sure won't be that way when I'm a doctor.

The orderly had issues of his own.

Now that on my own life was slipping away,

I paid closer attention to the lives of others.

Like this one - a scam artist.
