I was 7 at the time. My mom was sitting on the bench, her eyes following me and my brother's every movement. Jonah, my brother with 5 years age difference was helping me swinging back and forth on the swing by pushing it with the strongest force a 12 year old boy could. My eyes were trained on the ground, catching a glimpse of an innocent cat crossing the road. Unbeknownst to the felined cat, a truck was speeding up towards it. In panicky state, I yelled at Jonah to stop pushing the swing I was on. Once the swing stopped, I ran towards the cat, not caring if I would get hit in the process. I could hear my mom and Jonah's shout as I scooped the cat into my embrace. The truck's lamp illuminated its light in my eyes, blinding my eyesight. The next thing I saw was the limp body of my mom, a gush of blood oozing out of her body. From that moment I knew, I was somehow the cause of my mom's death.
" Why are you crying? Are you hurt? " asked a little boy, pure confusion was painting his eyes, clueless to the fact that his questions had snapped me out of the trance. I shook my head in response.
" No, just a little something got into my eyes." I brushed off the remaining tears on my face with my sleeves before proceeding to ask the little boy,
" What's your name?"
" Georgie. "
" Well, Georgie. Sometimes life gets so hard that you would want to end it."
Georgie cocked his head slightly to the left. " How?"
I shook my head at that. " You are not old enough to know."
We sat in a complete silence after that until I decided to put a stop to it. " Hey, I got to get going. Stick close to your parents, okay?"
The little boy nodded, raising his hand to wave me a goodbye before running to his parents. I walked away from the park, feet were heading towards the infamous Han River.
The water looked very soothing and calm. I wondered what kind of creatures lived in there. They must had been really happy to live inside such a godsend. I slowly stepped inside the water, not caring how chilling it was.
I continued to walk until the water reached my neck. In a matter of second, I would already be on my way to mom.
" Goodbye, world. " I breathed out before diving my head into the water. The water started to fill up my lung. Like any normal human, my legs started to kick around, probably trying to help me to float back up. The last thing I thought before grim reaper reaped my soul from my body was how enthralled my dad would feel now that he doesn't have to see the killer oh his wife's face ever again.
-THE END-
