Silent Night
The lights in the room where turned off with only the light of the moon piercing through the glass window as it lit up the wooden desk mounted to the floor and solid wall. I pulled a chair made of the same material as the desk towards the source of light ,the friction between the chair and the floor made a screeching sound that I was numb to but would irritated another. I placed the chair infront of the desk and sat down, infront of me was a blank page and a pen illuminated by the white light from the moon. I took a deep breath,closing my eyes. Listening to the sounds of the night wind ruffling trees outside,I started reflecting on life events that led me here. When I opened my eyes, there was a liquid droplet that stained the page, it was a tear. I took the pen and jotted on the page.
"To that one soul reading this ,I know you're tired, you're fed up. You're so close to breaking. But there's strength within you ,even when you're weak. Keep fighting . I just wish someone had told me this sooner"
On the far left of the paper,concealed by the darkness was an unidentified object ,it was made of steel and had a weight to it. I reached for it and pulled it to the light,shedding one last tear I put the pen and paper aside and held the object beneath my chin. The last thing I heard was a loud bang...then there was nothing,no pen,no moonlight,no paper,no sound of the wind ruffling trees...just darkness and silence, nullity.
