The Day

Chapter 1 - The Day

S

It's a cloudless, windy day.

Today is the day. The day that will change my life. The day that will set me free. The day I will let go of everything.

I'm walking, with no particular destination in mind, just like the rest of my life. Moving with no purpose. The air is humid due to the rain we got yesterday all day.

It smells dirty and sweet, like gym socks and fruit passion body spray. The people all around me look busy, mad, annoyed and in a hurry to get somewhere.

I, on the other hand have all the time in the world. I have no specific place to be at. No one waiting for me at home. Not one soul would give a damn if I never made it back to my apartment. That was okay though, it didn't bother me.

It didn't bother me at all because I like it like this. I did not want to stay up at night having my imagination run wild, imagining horrendous things happening to loved ones whenever they were home a tad late.

I couldn't bear feeling worried at all times when I wasn't with them. Or not knowing whether they were safe, or if they were coming home soon.

I did not want anyone to lose sleep over me or worry and I sure as hell did not want to worry about anyone, much less lose precious hours of oblivious bliss.

I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't hear my phone ringing "Second Heartbeat". Until someone waving a hand in front of my face said and I quote "Aye! Earth to person in a navy hoodie. Your pocket is screaming very viciously. I suggest you check it, because it might get angry and consume you and everyone else here."

I turn and look at the guy walking besides me wondering what is wrong with him. Ignoring him I get my phone out and read the reminder that I had setup yesterday.

Oh, it was time.

"Miss, you should look both ways before crossing."

I have no idea that they're talking to me, until I hear them yell, "Girl in the navy hoodie!"

What? Choosing to ignore him, I keep walking straight.

"Shoot! Watch out, get out of the road. You're going to get hit!"

The next thing I hear is an ear-piercing screech and people shouting over multiple horns. "Get out of the way!", "Move!", and "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

In a matter of seconds I have two dominant thoughts. The first; will this be how I die? The second being; this is so not how I want to kick the bucket.
