3:30 PM
I'm walking to work from college today and it's raining.
They just passed floor 30 in The Tower. And people are celebrating even during this god-awful weather. How nice it must be to have time to celebrate and be happy with no worries in the world. I'm envious.
9:00 PM
I just finished work and I'm heading to my other job.
I wonder when will this all end. When can I smile again,
Maybe I should just end it-. *Notification* It's a text from mom.
Mom: Where are you Madaren
Madaren: Finishing up work mom don't worry about me and go sleep
Mom: I can't sleep knowing your outside it's dangerous.
Madaren: I promise I'm fine I'll be home soon
Mom: Just come home soon sweetie.
*I turn off my phone and put it in my pocket*
W-What was I thinking? I could never leave Mom behind, I should never think like that again.
*While I cross the bridge I stop and look out to the water*
Mom needs me and I need her. I won't ever think about jumping.
*An old man walks up right next to me and stares at the water*
Old man: Thinking about it?
Madaren: I would never.
Old man: Doesn't it feel good thinking about not having to suffer anymore?
Madaren: I won't do it.
Old man: Why? Does the idea of an afterlife scare you, Do you not want to be punished for ending your own life,
Or are you just simply scared of the pain you'll go through while dying?
All of an sudden I start hyperventilating.
Madaren: N-neither
Old man: Young one, What if death is like an eternal sleep. Peace for forever isn't that priceless. You wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore.
I don't know why but suddenly I have the urge to spill out everything against my own will.
Madaren: I would never think about suicide and I won't do it.
Old Man: WHY!?
Madaren: BECAUSE I WONT LEAVE MY MOTHER BEHIND.
I'm on my knees at this point, why do I feel like this. Did he use some skill on me like that B Ranked Skill Truthseeker or something.
Old man: Very well than.
All of a sudden a white flame engulfs me and I start burning uncontrollably.
Madaren: AHH!! WHAT DID YOU DO!?
Old Man: You'll thank me soon son.
Madaren: EHGHH SOMEONE HELP ME.
What does he mean by that. The pain is unbearable, this isn't the peaceful death I've been thinking about.
Wait, why am I getting flashbacks of mom and dad? I remember that day when mom and dad took me to that Hunter themed amusement park, I was so excited and i wanted to ride all of the Savion's themed rollercoasters.
Man I remember thinking I was his biggest fan.
The fire has calmed and it doesn't hurt anymore, or all of my nerves have been burnt off.
Madaren: w-will I be joining dad now?
Old man: He wouldn't want you to see you so early.
*the old man walks away*
Is this what liberation feels like?
While I slowly close my eyes I see a black and purple glowing screen appear in front of me.
