Listen to Easy Way Out by Gotye when reading this story
Arthur had forgotten exactly when, but at some point, his life had started going downhill. Nothing had really happened, there were no huge changes in everyday life, but one day, life just didn't seem worth living anymore.
He didn't know what had caused his thinking to go like this, only that living wasn't worth it anymore. He was miserable and frustrated at the same time and didn't know whether to throw something at the wall or cry.
His focus in school was slipping and so was his grades. He gave up on trying to listen to the teacher and doing his schoolwork.
His parents were concerned and told him to visit the therapist. He would go but would always end up ditching the session to hang around in some dark alley. His friends were also worried, always asking him what was wrong. And Arthur would always make some lame excuse and change the subject.
His favorite pastimes such as writing and reading were no longer enjoyable. He would just sit on his bed, staring at nothing, until the early hours of morning. He had insomnia and could no longer sleep. He could no longer function normally.
It was all getting too much for him.
Looking at the bottle of pills, he thought about what he was about to do. He no longer cared about anything, not even this. He emptied the bottle into his hands. Was this enough? Probably.
He raised his hand to his mouth and took one last look at the world before swallowing them.
