I just finished my first round of editing this story! It's a little long so I'll be posting it in bits. Check back tomorrow for the next part if you're interested!
I woke up and everything was cruelly normal. I looked
out my window from my bed and saw an overcast day. No rain would come, yet the
sun was refusing to shine. It was hiding safely behind the clouds, like a child
covering its eyes so it wouldn’t have to see the events that were to unfold
today. I knew a single beam of light could have weakened my resolve. With the
slightest bit of natural light, my fate could have been different. I was
searching for signs that I was wrong and none of them showed. The universe
wanted me gone, I was worthless, a waste of space, so by the end of the day I
was to be gone. The world was silent as death. As my death. Not a soul dared
make a sound, for fear it would change what had to happen. Fate kept a close
eye on me and would not be happy should its plan be changed. Out the window not
even the wind was blowing, not a thing moved. All was waiting for me to take
the first step. I had a little stare down with the morning and decided I would
make the first move. It was 8:59 am.
