Chapter 5
Slowly we were all killing ourselves. I guess I was crazy saying we would never do that. Now I guess we will. Half the town had already ended their life one way or another. Joe Hill Conley was the next to go. He had taken the route of using sleeping pills. The same way Therese and Mary had. He too joined everyone else that had gone to that little world none of us still living had heard of or been to. Only four families were pretty much left in our town. Our whole town looked abandoned with no one in it. Of course by now almost ninety percent of the town was gone. Only my family and The Kingways were left by the next two weeks. It was like our whole town was on a suicide spree. It came to the time where I had no more choice. I guess this was going to have to be my way of remembering the suicides and making everyone else remember them too. I was soon going to join that little world that no one knew of. After I am gone only the Kingways would be left. Before I knew it the knife went straight through my heart and all I saw was black. * * * (Cecilia Kingway's point of view)
I think that our whole town is insane. I mean my family is the only one that's left. We're planning on getting new neighbors this summer. If we don't then we'll have to move. No one ever found out what had made Cecilia Lisbon take any attempts at suicide. My sisters don't even know. I'm the only one. Cecilia had a journal that she kept totally private. Inside of it there was only one entry. It was of why she had wanted to kill herself. This is what the actual entry had written in it: Journal, I want to end my life soon! No one around here even cares. I hate this house my sisters only care about themselves and my parents want us to be perfect. I can't take it anymore I have to end my life. My parents want to hold a party. Then would be the best time. At least that's what I figure. I will never write in you again. -Cecilia Lisbon
If I told anyone about it she would force me to kill myself. I don't know why those men across the street were so in love with the Lisbon daughters. I personally find them evil. The threatened to make my sisters kill themselves also. The weird thing is our family is almost exactly like theirs. I want to know that if we commit suicide will we end up like them? I hope not! For all I know they could have taken over our family already. Right now all I am hoping for is new neighbors. Right now this town is full of ghosts walking around and roaming the streets. I guess that this is now a way for us to always remember the suicides. These past events have ruined my life. I don't think anyone would want to move to this town anymore though. Even if we move somewhere else, my family looks a lot like the Lisbons did, they might be scared of us and you never know. They could commit suicide too now. I'm just afraid of the Lisbons, I'm also starting to get afraid of my family and town. All the souls of people are walking around. I'm starting to think that they all want us to commit suicide, but mainly the Lisbon girls. There was just a sound downstairs journal. I'm going to go see what it was. Oh journal they're getting to us. My sister Mary has just killed herself. I'm scared journal. They're laughing at us now, what if I'm the only person in this town still living in the end? I'm having too many fears. I'll write back later. If I'm still alive.
