"No..." Liz muttered, her words echoing in the depths of her mind as she desperately tried to alter the past, to rewrite the course of events that had led her to this moment.
But her efforts were in vain, her attempts to change the unchangeable met with resistance from the relentless currents of time.
Her voice rose into a desperate plea, a cry of anguish and despair that reverberated through the corridors of her consciousness.
"Nooo!!! Please don't... don't do that!!!" she screamed, the words torn from her throat in a raw, guttural plea for mercy.
But her cries fell on deaf ears, drowned out by the relentless tide of fate as it swept her inexorably toward the inevitable.
Try as she might, Liz could not escape the grip of destiny, bound as she was by the unbreakable chains of time and circumstance.
