1 A New Life

Lights dim and dark, the only light was the light from under the door that's behind me. Vicious bangs knock at the door.

Loud wails of my angry father blocks out all sound around me. My whole body shaking. In my hand lay a dull rusty kitchen knife. I knew I'd get in trouble but the task was worth it. After school I had left to go to the abandoned house that was a couple blocks away from our school.

I came there hoping to kill myself there, but I decided against it. I wanted to die in my room. That way, the moment my father breaks down the door. He'll see my bloody corpse laying on the ground. I laugh at the image of him yelling with anger, the fact that I was dead and he can beat me no longer. I take the Knife to my throat, my hands shaking violently.

I take a deep breath and cut, I cut fast and deep. My body fell to the ground and the air around me becomes unbreathable, as if I'm in space. I smile, I close my eyes and let the sweet taste of death take me over. October 9th, the day I died and the day, I was reborn
