I stare, tears streaming down my cheeks as I see the soldier standing in front of me. I push past him slamming my door, and run away from my home, which will now stay empty, a piece of paper and a pen in my hand. The loving couple never to be seen again. That's what the people will say... I can't stay here, not without him. He was my light, my life,I simply can't go on without him. The people will talk, and I won't be around to hear about it. I know the soldiers say they will look. That's they've found people who before were missing in action much like my husband is. However, I can't wait that long, my opportunity is now, and I must take it.
I will deny the system that we have lived with for centuries and the controlling people who believe that they have everyone fooled. The people believe or government to be good, made with people who care about us, while us smarter people know better. I won't let myself play into their hands, and with a final act of defiance I will take my life. There is nothing more they can take from me. They forced my love into the army when we first tried to rebel. We were only left alive because they didn't see us as a threat, well I'll prove them wrong. I'll show them that we the people, are in fact something to be feared. We the people hold greater power than they realize. Before I go I write a letter, it will state all the wrongs the government has done against us, and I know it will open the eyes of the people.
Moving to the side of a deserted road,I sit on a curb, sobs racking through my body as I write messily. Folding the paper in fours I place it in a secret pocket of my jacket. My neighbor will know to look there, and she will be the one who retrieves my body add it begins to root, no one else will care to and she will deliver my message to the people.
I pull out my dagger, and hold it to my throat, unable to see through my tears. How dare they! I will be the reason for their fall, and I will watch it happen with a smile on my face from the heavens. They will pay, it's their own fault. They should have killed my husband and I quietly while they still had the chance, and now they will all suffer because of it! Stabbing myself I let out a strangled cry and fall to the ground. One last single tear cascading down to the floor.
