A/N: I have absolutely no clue as to what possessed me to write this. Please, if you could... don't flame me without a good reason. Okay? okay. I'm gonna go over.. there.. now. Bye! -scurries off-
Disclaimer: I do not own South Park.. or anything else related in this. I only own my mind. ..but you can have it if you want it. lol.
My room was pitch black. I was accustomed to this though, so I could see almost perfectly in the dark. A quick glance at the watch Stan gave me a few weeks ago told me it was almost 2am.
I still couldn't sleep. It's been like this for a few days now.
So, for lack of anything better to do, I sat there contemplating my life thus far. I snorted. What life? I've had approximately 742 of them and frankly, they've all been pretty shitty. Every fucking last one of 'em…
I paused before a dark thought crossed my mind. It was so sudden and so… I don't even know if I should call it brilliant or stupid, but either way, I classified it as a simple and remarkable idea. It made so much sense. So much sense I wondered…
Why hadn't I thought of this before…?
I needed to show them I didn't want this. I needed to show that this was it, that I had finally had enough. I needed to show that you do not under any circumstances fuck me over this many times.
I, Kenneth Riley McCormick, was going to hope for a permanent end… by committing suicide.
Sure, I had committed suicide in the past, but this was different. This was of my own free will. I chose it this time, and not because someone else put the idea in my head.
The only flaw in this perfect plan was how. I could off myself in so many ways that if the situation was different, I would have laughed it was so fucking funny.
OD, alcohol poisoning, shooting, jumping off from somewhere high up, car crash, drowning, hanging, suffocation, breathing in toxic fumes, poisoning in general…
A thoughtful look overcame my features as I thought of one more to add to the list.
…Bleeding to death.
I could slit my wrists and bleed to death. Somehow, this one appealed to me the most. It was a quiet, albeit messy, way but at least I could do it easily without preparation.
…And I could also do it right now.
I get up and press my ear to the door, relieved that no one was awake. Wearing my hood for most of my life has given me abnormal hearing and I could easily pick up the sound of footsteps from downstairs.
I silently opened my bedroom door and crept across the hall to Kevin's. I don't need to be quiet; my family sleeps like the dead. Sometimes I wish they were…
But hey, it's always good to be careful in these situations, lest someone tries to stop you. Not that my family would or anything. I'm just saying.
I reached into a box in my brother's dresser and moved a few things around. Finally, I came across a razor blade that was attached to a wooden handle to create a crude weapon.
Well… it's pretty simple… But at least it's effective. I looked the blade over again. …Too bad the blade is too flimsy to do much. But it doesn't matter, it was easy to hold, looked clean, and after a quick test across my thumb, I surmised it was sharp.
Closing the box and the drawer, I snuck back into my own room and closed the door.
I quickly wrote a note in chicken scratch explaining what I was doing and shit like that, though I doubted my family would give a damn. I was just one less mouth to feed if I was dead, after all.
As I sit with my back against the wall, I have second thoughts. Mostly they're thoughts about my friends. They're fleeting, and quickly dismissed with a shake of my head.
They'll understand… I reason, not fully believing myself. I pause again before proceeding to give myself a deep laceration for every flaw I possessed.
I smoke… I drink… The list seemed endless.
My weakened grip makes one last cut on my body before I drop the weapon next to me tiredly. I live…
I smile softly. It's a content one. I slide down the wall my eyes closing for maybe the last time… My last coherent thought is Not anymore… before darkness consumes me.
And then… nothing.

Walking towards the gates of hell with a smile on my face, I breathe in the acrid scents of smoke, sulfur and brimstone.
"Home sweet home…" I say to no one imparticular.
I strike up a conversation with some of the newbies and get checked in, hopefully for the last time.
No, not hopefully for the last time, for the last time.
I make my way through the crowded streets of hell, greeting some of the friends I've made down here. But I should be going; I've got somewhere to be.
I tell them this and they understand completely, some even telling me to say "hello" to Lucifer (Satan) or Damien for them when I visit.
The castle is roughly four stories in height, and the doors tower above my by an easy ten feet. I ring the doorbell and don't even bat an eye at the horrible scream it emits.
I've come to think of the screaming doorbell as horribly cliché, but I won't tell that to Damien of course. Ah, speak of the devil, (I chuckle mentally at this) here he is now.
"Hey Damien," I greet the anti-Christ with a grin. We've become best friends and all since I'm on good terms with his dad and die a lot anyways.
"Kenny?" he questions with general surprise. "As much as I like you being here… what are you doing here? You aren't due until Friday when you get hit by the school bus…"
He leads me inside and I tell him everything.
"Kenny…" his voice is laced with pity. "You aren't due here… for a long time."
He pulls me into a hug as I black out.
I'm not aware of what time it is, nor do I care, as I wake up.
In my room.
…In my bed.
And all I can do now… is cry. Because I was so sure about it… and I wanted it so bad. But I can't ever attain it. It figures. I never get what I want.
…Fucking irony.
Very unoriginal... angsty... oh well. It sucks.. but not as bad as I thought it would.
..Do I get cookies for trying? -hint, hint-
