My life becomes a mixture of loneliness and sorrow. Nothing makes me happy anymore. I used to think about dying, but now that I am dead, I realize that death traps you more than life ever could.

While living, you can go anywhere. You can run away from your problems, you can start a new beginning. Nothing is irreversible and you can start a new life at any time.

But death. Death is the opposite. You're stuck in hell, your memories swirling and swirling, making you sick to your stomach. I always feel sick. I feel like my feet don't touch the ground, that God is trying to take me to Heaven but then he realizes that I'm a monster. He realizes that I'm evil.

Lydia came by again a couple days ago. Mother didn't even open the door, just yelled for her to leave. 

I wanted to run outside to look into her eyes, to hear her southern accent before it faded completely. I felt guilty thinking these thoughts. I'm supposed to want Violet, not some girl who came into my life for only a couple months. 

This is all I think about. I lie in bed hour after hour, wondering how I could truly be dead. My mind can't seem to grasp the fact that this home is my hell. I am living...I am dying (?) in hell. I'm emptying myself in hell. Hell is sucking the life from me. If only I could find something to pleasure me and to occupy my thoughts throughout these long days. 

I used to anticipate Violet's visits in my dreams, but now they're only nightmares. She curses me, wishes me to go away. Forever. She never wants me to see her again. I never want to see me again. Every time I look in the mirror I see the bullet holes that took my life.

Days pass. Months pass. Mother moves out. Lydia stops coming by. And I am still dead.
