Hello. Mom, Dad, Brother, Friends.

I am only writing this so you won't worry. I am writing this so you won't think somebody took me or I ran away. I don't want you thinking that when I am gone I am still alive somewhere because I won't be.

I don't know what's happening with the world. Everybody's dying. First, it was Marco. While somewhat annoying and obnoxious, he was a nice guy. Then there were others. There was Jake. He was tall and strong-looking. He was Marco's best friend. They were total opposites. It was funny to see them together. They are both gone now. Jake "disappeared". I have to wonder. Maybe he saw it coming. Maybe he ended it before it really got bad. He is fortunate. I have to see the destruction for myself to know there is no point in living on this godforsaken planet.

Two girls named Rachel and Cassie disappeared also. God, why?! Cassie was the nicest person in the school. Rachel didn't take crap from anybody. But what did it get them? Gone, disappeared. Their families too. What did they do? They didn't do anything! I am going end it all before who or whatever comes for me like it did my classmates.

So Mom, Dad, my little brother. Please be strong. When you find this, please know you have to go on with your lives. Mom, you are such a wonderful doctor. Dad, you are a wonderful English professor. Please don't stop because of me. I am not worth the tears. My friends, if you are still there, please listen. If you feel like your dreams are still worth pursuing then pursue them. You don't have to choose my path.

Now I am going to the woods with Dad's revolver. There is a little meadow I know of. It's really beautiful. I will spend my last conscious moments there. If I can't live in a beautiful place, I will die in a beautiful place. I hope to see you all in heaven someday.

Signed,

Your daughter, sister, friend.
