Friday night.
The sky is so clear, exposing the twinkling stars above and all the leaves sparkles as if they were showered with droplets of crystals. No corners weren't lit by the brightness of the moon.
Aside from beautiful surroundings, a man stood still for hours.
He quietly listens to the hustling of the wind brushing the leaves and trunks from the plants.
With a gun in his right hand and a gold necklace in his left, wrapped so tight, he slowly look at the bright round moon above..
"Hmmmpp, if I do this... Would I stop feeling empty?" He said to himself.
Suddenly...Bllllgggghh!!
Warm liquids splashed to the grass and the leaves around. The man's vision were blurry from the tears and blood."So this is what it feels like. There is no turning back anymore, is there?" He asked himself.
"Hmmmppp..I really am such a fool. Nothing has changed even after doing this alright."That moment, He lost control of his body. The man doesn't feel anything at all even when he dropped so hard to the ground.
The once was green grass covering the ground were now tainted with the man's blood. Suddenly, a girl came rushing towards him.
He couldn't see the face of the girl clearly.
After seeing the man looking at her, eyes opened wide, she looked around, from left to right screaming as loud as she could, crying for help hoping that someone would aid them.
Helpless, she kneeled before the man's eyes not knowing what to do."Such a soft voice", the man whispered but the girl couldn't hear his words.
"Please bear with me! Don't leave me like this !!! Pleaasee! We've been through a lot! Why would you have to be like this?!!", the girl, who was really trying to speak clearly, asked him.
The man looked at her and smiled as wide as he could. In his mind he wanted to thank the girl for letting him hear such a fine and comforting voice of hers.
Slowly, he lost his vision but can still hear everything around him.
Suddenly, he heard a man asking the girl what just happened. Then he heard sirens, and horns everywhere. He also heard beeping sounds.
For him, everything was happening so fast he can't comprehend what was going on.
"Am I dreaming?, If I was please make it stop" he thought to himself.
He wanted to get up but and look around but he doesn't know how. As if his whole body were stripped from him.
Then he heard a man shouted beside him. "Clear!"
Suddenly, a white light flashed before him. Then it slowly faded into big spots of light. After that he felt excrutiating pain. Something he has never felt before. He tried to figure out where it was coming from but he can't. With all his might, he focused all his strength controlling his arms and striking the spots of lights before him.
He then heard the sound of metals clashing people screaming.
He was also confused when everthing became calm in an instant. He doesn't feel any pain anymore and also couldn't see the lights before him. It all faded into the darkness.
The darkest he have seen before envelopes his whole surrounding."Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp"
A calming and continuos beeping sound from a machine is all that he can hear.
