Falling

{ARMANDO}

**

I hate the forest.

The chirping sound of the birds makes me cringe as I imagine they are free. Unlike me, something keeps pulling me down. I tried to find out what it is so that I can be free and then I gave up.

I let the rope go.

And now, here I am, almost suffocating because I am falling and to make it worse, I have given up the idea of even trying to breathe because I am hundred percent sure it won't work.

***

The surrounding changes, there is no sound from the birds. I look around and I realize when I said I hated the forest and the chirping sound of the birds I made a mistake. Where I am right now, is the worst place ever.

No.

I am not on Mars.

Well, Mars has no problem. I heard people can survive there. I remember there is this one person who was left behind by his crew, and then he managed to survive by growing his food. He used his shit as fertilizer.

"Armando, hey, hey."
