What if I told you I didn't want to live anymore?

My heart was pounding as I tried to get into my twin brother's room.

What if I told you I've tried to kill myself, and failed?

I couldn't get in, he locked his door.

What if I told you I've tried, and succeeded?

I finally broke down the door, but I was too late.

Yet, somehow, I didn't die, but at the same time I did?

He kicked the stool, and it hit the wall, the noose around his neck tightened instantly as he did so.

It was time I disappeared for good. Everyone would have a better life without me.

I tried to save him, but I couldn't. I couldn't get the noose off of him without hurting him anymore than what he did. The blood dripping from his wrists, his body hanging limply, his feet inches away from the floor. I was too late. It was my fault. I could've saved him, if I came earlier.

No one would miss me. Me, my family, and everyone I ever knew, would finally have a better life.

I am Onyx, and I killed my twin brother. I knew that my time for disappearing was soon, so I had to make a plan...to run away and never come back.
