Breath With In


Chapter 2 - I Commited Suicide

9:00am news tomorrow. A hole appeared in the road today, and no one knows what it is or why it is in the road. Also, my mom made spaghetti but I didn't eat it because spaghetti is lame and reminds me of how everything is meaningless. I didn't go to school today because it was lame and I was sad, so I didn't go to school. My teachers probably think I'm dead or something, but joke's on them, I'm still here. For now.

...later that day

So I decided to get up at around 3pm, which was actually impressive because usually I just lay there until the crushing weight of existence forces me to get up. I watched some anime before getting bored (because let's face it, even anime can't fill the void in my soul) and decided to see what the whole thing was about (get it? because it's a hole? haha). I put on my black hoodie because that's what you do when you're sad and walked all the way to the street. As I approached, I saw the jerk who was with my old girlfriend, which just made my day even worse. He snarled at me like some kind of anime villain, and I looked down dramatically (because I was going through a depressing phase and also because eye contact is scary).

I continued down the street, took three lefts and a right (because why not), and ended up at a police barricade. The barricade was made of those yellow plastic things and some of that tape that says "Do Not Cross," which of course only made me want to cross it even more. A few officers were there, just standing around like NPCs in a video game, and I decided to ask them where the hole was (because I am only 152.3.1415926 centimeters tall and couldn't see above the barricades). They said that it was "over there," pointing dramatically into the distance as if I was too stupid to figure it out myself.

I tried to jump to get a better look, but jumping takes effort and effort is for people who care. Eventually, I caught a glimpse of the hole. It was really, really long feet across and took up the whole street [see what I did there ;) classic]. Since I was already feeling like an empty husk of a human, I knew that jumping into the hole was obviously the next logical step in my existential crisis.

I walked towards the hole. The wind picked up and blew through my hoodie in a way that was probably cinematic or something.

Sad music starts to play. Probably something with piano and violins. Maybe some depressing anime opening.

I started running towards the hole, because if you're gonna do something, you might as well be dramatic about it. My sneakers (which I hadn't tied properly because who even cares anymore) flapped against the pavement.

I jumped over the barrier, barely making it because I'm not exactly athletic.

I jumped into the hole.

And then I realized... I forgot to feed my cat. Oops.
