121 Washing Up

How did I get here?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't seem to draw an answer. One day I had been happy, and then in just one night, everything was gone. But now that I was alive, I thought I wouldn't fight it because it was no use and I was tired...too tired...

"I just want to live..." My voice trailed off.

If I had to live, I just wanted to live in the way that everything was easy, quiet, and once night came in, I could sleep without having anything weighing on my shoulders. I wondered what did it take to steal the peace and restore the serenity? What did it take to escape the insanity and returned to just being a person?

I closed my eyes holding the bracelet inside my palm. I was crushing it as it embedded into my skin. It had been just that one time. One moment of ignorance and here I was, stuck in between.

Why did I let her chain me with this stupid bracelet?
