Confusion..
I was really happy... till the time came. I was really sad... till i never lived again. I look through the thin window pane, the rain trickling down to what seemed endlessly, as though that of the tears on my cheek. I hear children laughing, cheerful chirping of the birds as the Sun slowly made its way up to the horizon. I close my eyes, and there it was...the boys of my dreams, tall, stooping figure, and he turned around and flashed a smile in my direction. My heart momentarily stopped. But just as he appeared, he vanished, out of sight. I let out a loud wail, unconsciously, and before long, i was fast asleep by the windowsill. I slept fitfully, tossing and turning, moaning several times in my sleep. I awoke with a start, only to realise that my only exit out...was closed.
It was midnight. Owls hooted and bats flew around aimlessly. In the semi-darkness i stumbled my way up the stairs, all the way from the first story to the 13th.
I stepped closer to the edge. I told myself, "Ariel, you loser, this was what you were waiting for, go ahead!!!" I slipped my eyes shut and i spread out my arms and...and...
Jumped.
The last thing i heard was a scream. A scream that signified that i would be non-existent in this world, for now, and forever. That scream...that scream signified that i had the gift of voice. The gift.. that had been wasted away. It was gone. And i was, too.
