"Today's going to be the day that I die," or "What if I die today?"
At least one of those questions is always in the back of my head.
They're like shadows. I usually pay no attention to them, but I know that they're always there.
Ever since I started thinking about these questions years ago, I've shut myself in my apartment, never leaving, and never letting anyone enter. I've even stocked up on preserved foods and took self-defense classes online.
Thinking about these questions is only natural, as everyone in my family has died under mysterious circumstances year after year in a row. Scarily enough, on the same day too.
And now, since my only sibling has died the year before this, I can only assume that it's my turn now. It could happen any minute from now, or in the next 364 days. And I'm terrified of the day that I won't be here anymore.
