Beautiful In Blue
Chapter One: Craig
2:00am
It's late. Too late for me to still be awake. As if I want to sleep anyway. It was pointless even trying to with all the yelling and screaming that was coming from the kitchen below.
I stared down at the sharp silver blade that sat in front of me on the window-sill, shining in the moon light. Maybe. Maybe it could take the pain away. The pain from the memories of what happened earlier that night.
I picked up the blade. It felt cold and weightless in my hand.
One quick flick and I watched as blood rose to the surface and started to spill over slowly.
Two. Three. Four. Five. Still nothing but pain.
Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten.
I just see red.
The beautiful red as I feel all pain leave me and a blissful emptiness fill me.
I shove the bloody blade into the pocket of my jeans, not wanting to leave it behind for my family to find. I pull on my blue jacket and matching blue chullo and climb out the window.
I drop down onto the snow covered ground and start walking to the one place in South Park that I actually like.
Stark's Pond.
