Monday 3:00 P.M
Eastern Lily High School
Player: Celeste

Celeste had just been leaving school when she felt pain in her arm.

She looked at her arm and saw blood pouring out.

She couldn't think of where it came from

Not even a moment later, a sound pierced the air, and sunk into Celeste's stomach.

Celeste fell forwards, landing on her front.

She had barely realized what's going on when she realized she was dying.

She panicked for a few seconds before calming down.

Why did she care that she was dying?

Why did it matter?

She didn't mean anything anyways.

Her death wouldn't affect anyone.

It wouldn't affect her mother, who was searching for love in men.

It wouldn't affect her father, who was rotting in jail alone.

It wouldn't affect her classmates, the ones who turned their backs to her, acting like she herself had done what her father did.

Celeste felt calm.

For once since what her father did came to the surface, she felt happy.

Celeste would smile to herself right now if she was physically capable, but her body was currently shutting down.

Celeste saw a bright light behind her eyelids, and any other sound that she had heard ceased to exist.

I am saved.
