Aokigahara

Chirp~ Chirp~ Chirp~ goes the birds. Waking up, I feel a sharp pain in my heart. It hurts as if a thousand needles are pierced through me. My neck feels like I'm suffocating. Somehow, I feel empty, hopeless and lonely inside. It hurts. It hurts. Where am I? Who am I? My phone. Where's my phone? Shit. I can't find it. I better get out of here before it gets dark. Rubbing my fingers against my arm, I noticed that my skin is icy cold. Still suspicious on how I ended up here, I still attempt to escape this forest. Still, my hearts hurts. Ignoring it, I run as fast as my legs would take me. I need a break. Oh, I see a tent. I walk up to the man in the tent asking for the way out of here. However, he ignored me like I wasn't even there. How rude. So, I left. As I try to find my way out, I noticed that I came right back to where I started. With a deep sigh, I gave up. Suddenly, I looked behind and in front of me. I noticed a trail of dead, black plants. Scared, I inhaled and exhaled rapidly. A bunny out of nowhere hopped around me. Its' cuteness calmed me down. You'll be my friend right? I gently petted it only to see its' life being sucked right out. Terrified by myself, I screamed. I yelled. I hollered. I shouted till my lungs felt like it was about to burst. No one heard. Dropping right next to the tree, my heat began to race. Everything started hurting. I fell to the ground. Eyes opened wide, I see a dead body hanging from a tree, with a knife stabbed in the heart. Memories came rushing back. I scream. That dead body was me. Everything finally made sense. I killed myself here. When I was alive, nothing was going right. I was hopeless and decided to end it all. So, I came here. This....this is the suicide forest. Going crazy, I hear a voice, calling out to me. Saying, Rei. Rei. Rei. Repeating my name over and over again. Getting closer and closer. I feel a tap and see everyone that has taken their life here, surrounding me. They say, "Welcome."
