The time has comeA Story by AFX787359Uh...yeah...something I came up with while bored in math classIt was 3:00 in the afternoon; I glanced out of my window one more time, soaking in all the sight of the sun setting and all the other beauties of nature. This was it. I would follow through with it this time - no questions asked! Closing my eyes for a second, I evened out my breathing and calmed my nerves as though I were merely absorbing the beauty of a waterfall. I opened up my laptop one more time and opened the file - the note that I had written over three weeks ago. I had never gotten the nerves to commit the act until now, but that had all changed as though the clocks had stopped and began to turn counterclockwise. It was time; I could feel it as strongly within myself as I could the pulse on my jugular. To whoever reads this, if anyone does: I have left. There is nothing to worry about. I don’t believe in heaven or hell; I only know that my body will decompose and all its nutrients will return to its root - Mother Earth. I have no regrets whatsoever about what I have done; I am tired of being a burden for everyone around me. I am not worth the time and energy that people seem to spend on me - rather, they pretend to, anyway. Yes, I know of everyone’s exasperation/irritation with me. And mostly, however, I
have disappointed myself too many times. It is done. I thank Mother Earth for bringing me up on her back and giving me sustenance all through my life. Good Bye, for good! I closed the file and shut down my laptop with a stolidity that could rival the strength of the world's most ruthless emperor. Even Ivan the Great would have been jealous Finally, with a smile as grim as the black of night, I raised the object in my hand up to my throat, and with a quick swipe of the blade, I exited this world, giving Mother Earth back what she had given me... © 2011 AFX787359Author's Note
