What do you do when the world is against you? Do you fight back, refuse to bow to the masses, soldier on through the darkest of times? Or do you cower in fear of every little thing, convincing yourself that nothing and no one can or will help you; that you're just another statistic waiting to fall beneath the unforgiving axe of fate?

Goldengrape cowers under the shadow of the blade. Every day it inches closer, and every day he hides from it in vain. But his time is coming, and he cannot run forever. It would take a miracle to save him now.

A continuation/remake of this prompt-a-day short.
