First, only, and last time

-In 1345, I was from a noble family, I then lived a calm and a problem-free life, being in my twenties, I had reached my majority for that era.
Yet I had neither job nor wife.
Nor was I rich heir of anything, though still living with my parents.
But this situation did not bother me, I always preferred the company of books to those of people.

At that time I would never have thought that my life could change to this point.
I'll spare you the unnecessary details and frills of the basic life of a noble mortal being.

A year later, the black plague arrived, there were billions of deaths, my parents counted in the corpses that were borrowed to be burned.
I therefore found myself truly alone for the first time in this short mortal existence.
Because I still had no job, no wife, no close family.
To be honest , I had never needed these people, my parents, but that did not prevent the fact that it was a real blow to me, loosing the only ones you ever had even if you never needed them was still hard to endure,

I didn't know how to overcome this.

To that day, my life became a chain of ransoms and unfortunate events.

Letting the domain die on my shoulders, the people that worked there, my days were nothing but made of useless wandering, crisis and tears.
What could I have done to avoid this ?
I couldn't let all the people that lived under my roof die just because I couldn't mourn or accept what life decided to do to me.
Days and Days passed and alcohol was still my best friend, the only savior you would say.

One night , I was wandering the streets infested by the smell of death and sickness that had reigned in the atmosphere for weeks- I can't tell you exactly how long it as been since-

I felt, in my wandering and my despair that the end was not far for me.
I had lost all hope of finding a normal life, a life, quite simply.

And thinking about it now, It was entirely the contrary.

I thought about all this leaning against the wall of a dark alley where hardly anyone would look for me, who could after all?
I was alone in the world.

I was ready to get carried away here and now, but fate decided otherwise.
