I feel like nothing. Like I'm not really here. This is a dream.

My dad yells but I can't hear him. I only see his mouth moving. Pointing at what I did. Tears are welling up in his eyes. My hands are dripping with blood.

Everything is moving so fast, next thing I know in at the hospital. My moms crying hysterically and I'm emotionless. It's all so surreal. My white t-shirt is now stained red. My blue jeans are now marked with blood.

In a blink I'm at the school. I don't know how I got here but I'm here. It's empty and hollow like me. I think I walked her but I'm not sure. I try the front door and it opens.

The lights are off, the only thing guiding my way is the moonlight peering through the windows. The only reason I came to the school is because I knew the principal kept a gallon of gasoline in his office. He was always paranoid that his car would run out at school. Hopefully his door is unlocked, he usually doesn't lock it. I open it and begin to search his office. It's hidden in a drawer near his desk. The red container smells of gasoline.I make my way to the stairway. It's a long walk to the top but I have all the time.

I fiddle with the lion matches in my pocket. I took them from my dads glove compartment he only smoked when he was stressed, and he was stressed all the time so he kept matches in his car.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" A voice screams inside my head. It's pounding and I'm almost to the top.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT."

"It was an accident." I hear myself say out loud. I push open the door to the rooftop.

"YOU CAUSED THIS!"

"STOP STOP STOP!" I scream. No one can hear me anyway. I unscrew the cap to the container and begin pouring the gas along the door and then down a line towards the edge. I pour it all over myself and sit on the ledge. My feet dangling down. I can see the whole empty parking lot. I grab a flask from my jacket pocket and take a big gulp of whatever my dad kept in his car. It tastes like vodka.

I watch the flame that could end it all burn the match. I blow it out and toss it off the roof. Maybe I'll let one of these fall on me.
