What is Life?
Chapter 1: Marco Bodt
Marco Bodt lived an average life; parents who loved him, friends who were always there for him, and was
even a straight A student.
Even though he had all these things in his life, he still felt emptiness inside, like something was missing from
him; almost like he was living an insignificant life.
Girls wouldn't stare as he walked by nor was he ever the center of attention, not that that's what he wanted.
His grades started to drop due to lack of sleep; staring at the ceiling until his alarm clock would go off,
mocking him as he suffered another sleepless night.
Marco began falling asleep in classes, which was the only time he could feel the sweet oasis of dreaming, but
it caused concern from his English teacher.
When asked, Marco would just give an awkward laugh and apologize for sleeping in class, ignoring the
problem at hand.
Weeks went by, and the only people who seemed to his change in behavior had been his new English teacher;
as he began staying home, not going out with his friends, just reading alone in his room to try to drown out
the searing pain he felt in his chest, laughing at the his desperation for someone to notice that he wasn't okay.
But no one came. Not in time at least…
