Breathing

The name of the contest was 'Things That Affect You Daily'. I wanted to write something unique and a bit out of the box. I may have accomplish that...I won gold.

I open my eyes to the bright light shimmering through my window...
Squinting and squirmming I roll to my side and block it out.
Another Day.
Where did the night go?
My Dark Sanctuary of Solitude.
Gone...

Inhale...Exhale...
I Live...


Crumbled, wrinkled sheets fall to the ground.
Chipped polished, toenails meet the soft caress of the carpet.
The alarm is relentless...blairing its warning.
"Another Day"
I wince and it causes my heart to skip a beat.
One step closer to death...

Inhale...Exhale...
I Live...

Time.
Stumbling along to the sink.
Hard cold, marble crawling my pale skin.
Who is that girl?
Hmm...I don't know her.
Another Day...
Better get started.

Inhale...Exhale...
I Live...

The soap slips to the floor.
To much suge on my face.
Wouldn't want to get soap in my eyes.
The blairing alarm goes off again.
That shouldn't happen again.
Its not Another Day.

Inhale...
I Live...

The sound creats a resounding pulse in my head.
I must stop it...stop time...stop the alarm...
Where is the towel?
Just a step away...just a step...
Soft cold flesh met the slippery inanimate object...
And I am falling.
Falling to my release.
He's here...

Inhale...
I Live...

Like a bolt of lightening...
The pain traveled from my head to my whole body.
My breath is cut.
Oh, but that feels so good.
I can't breathe...
A scent of rust fills my nostrils.
My eyes darken.
He stands over me...
Beckoning...
Waiting...
Stealing my breath...
The Bliss...
The light...
Is Gone...
Inhale...
Exhale...
I Die..

We wake up every day and are one step closer to death. I suppose that one of these days we could just fall and die, never to be heard from again....
