Everything's Not Lost

Chapter 1

Violet's POV
So there I was, lying there on the cold, cold, snowy ground with no feeling whatsoever of the frozen ice.

It was 7 o'clock in the morning, and I went outside to get some fresh air. You know how whenever it snows, children tend to make snow angels? Well, I had my legs and arms sprawled out and I had them moving up and down to make a form of an angel. Don't call me childish, because a "regular" adult like me always needs to relive instances of childhood that are memorable.

Yet, my mind was focused on my past life. My life, as I'm about to admit to you, is very depressing.

For one thing, I'm what you call an orphan of some sort such as grandparent less. When I was very young, at the age of 7, a drunk driver collided into my granddad's Toyota Tacoma(a type of truck.) He died in the hospital after the doctors did everything they could to save him.

It was rather horrible. I remember my grandmom started to drink alot soon after he died, because she couldn't control her dreadful grief of his death. Then, one day, a year later, I recollect she got so drunk that she could hardly walk. Well, we had a pool, and she slipped on the pavement into the pool right after banging her head at the edge.

No one was there outside when it happened, so I figured it out two hours later when I went to go looking for her. I remember seeing her form in the flowing water, with surrounding blood, drifting on the surface.

I couldn't stop crying when I realized that she was dead. I didn't even attend the funeral for I was so depressed. Yet later, I regret not going.

Therefore, to this day, I always visit my grandparents' grave in the town's cememetary. So, I always bring roses and flowers, such as Chrysanthemums, and I switch them out whenever the petals wilt and are of no use anymore. Chrysanthemums were my grandmom's favorite kind of flowers. So, I got them as a gift for her to see in heaven.

To this day, I still live with my parents. Yes, I know, I'm 29, and still single. Hands up to being single, yayyy(Not really)

So, I got up and walked over to my parents' house with long striding steps.

Ten minutes later, I was on my way to work at Acme Headquarters. Basically what it is, is a business where software engineers, such as myself, work.

I turned on the radio to find myself to listening to none other than I Lived by OneRepublic. To enlighten my mood, I sang along to the lyrics with booming happiness

After the song ended, I arrived at my destination, work.
