Acanthus_
Chest soaked in blood as I exhale, I look at the night sky for the last time in this Life. Appreciating its beauty as much as I can. The cloudless sky, the beautiful full moon hanging, and the stars twinkling...
Twinkling?
No. Stars don't twinkle... Who once told me about it again? Father? A one-time fling? Ah, I forgot.
It all seems so far now.
I close my eyes. Trying to remember. Trying so hard to distract myself from these suffocating feelings I held within.
“Your stupid...”
“What?”
“Their dying.”
“Who...?”
“The stars.”
With heavy eyelids, I try to open my eyes again but a futile attempt. I could even hardly feel my body...
Well, thinking back about it, at least, I was able to express myself every so often in this Life, thus exempting me from tons of regrets... That at least, I did my best in this Life.
But guess my best wasn't good enough.
And with no more life force to support my existence in this world, only then did I snuff my breath, leaving.
