L'appel du Vide is a French word that describes the feeling of wanting to jump of a high place but not actually do it. Although there is no word in English to describe this feeling, the English translation of L'appel du Vide is Call of the Void

The story is about a girl who experiences these “call of the void” but unlike the real “call of the void” where you don’t do the things you think of, the story is forced into a direction where the intrusive thoughts become reality.

L'appel du Vide

When can I get my next high? I craved for something more exciting. Something that could give me a permanent high. The thrill of something. I haven't gotten a high in awhile. I feel like it's taking a toll on my health. 


I went to Macy's house. The thought of a giant fat rat to scurry across the cold hardwood floor made it impossible for me to leave the house. Unfortunately, there were no mice during the day.


I decided to sleep over at Macy's house. Around midnight, I snuck out of her bedroom to search for mice that were out roaming in the kitchen. I patiently sat in the dark without making a noise all night. Quietly waiting for a mouse to run under me. 


Unfortunately, no mouse came into the kitchen. I asked Macy if the mice were gone and she told me her parents had called for an exterminator a week ago. That meant the there were no more mice in Macy's home. That also meant I couldn't get another high at Macy's house. A part of me wished to become an exterminator.


That day, I left Macy's house kinda early. The craving to find another animal became impossible to ignore. It was starting to get painful. I need my next high but where?
