My name is Rosanna. I screwed up my life. And this is how.
I was just walking around after school. You know, it's was freezing and misty outside and I loved that type of weather. So what better way not to spend it looking for junk to salvage?
I broke into a fence with pliers and pushed myself through the hole I made. I sat near the shore of the freezing cold water looking through a pile of stuff. I cut my hand on something sharp and recoiled my hand quickly. I started to bleed and suspected it was glass but wrapped it in my jacket. I pulled the thing I cut my hand on out. It was some weird blue-y glass that had so much luster that it was almost white. I put it down by my shoe and looked to see if I could find any more.
After about ten minutes I had found 13 more pieces. Some where bent in places that made me wonder if they formed a shape. I put them in my pocket, careful not to injure myself again. I went home.
I stayed in my room for several hours trying to glue it back together. Although it was missing one piece in the middle side, it formed a cube. How peculiar. I said to myself. That's when it started to glow. It go so bright I was almost blinded. I felt the strange urge to just... Touch.... It. I reached out my hand and placed it on the top with my palm stretching all the way across. I felt a strange tingle going up my arm. Then the light disappeared.
