Birthday Wish

It's my birthday today.

And you know what my birthday wish is?

To die.

I was in my bed lying down, staring at the ceiling and smiling at the thought of me dying until I heard Dad call my name.

I immediately went downstairs and hugged him.

"Hi Dad!"

"Happy birthday baby girl." I saw him holding a box of cake and a paper bag. He kissed me on the forehead.

Mom and Dad opened the box of cake and brought the cake out of it. They inserted the birthday candles on the top of the cake. They lit fire on those.

"Make a wish, baby girl." Mom whispered.

I closed my eyes, "I wish to die."

Then I blew the candles.

Mom and Dad were staring at me. "What was your wish, baby girl?" Mom asked me.

"To die, Mom. Wouldn't that be great?" I was all smiles.

"Ok then." Dad said and took something from the paper bag I saw him holding a while ago.

It's a gun.

And I swear to God,

My eyes twinkled at the sight.

"Are you sure baby girl?" Daddy asked while he loads the gun.

"Yes Daddy!" Then he pulled the trigger.

I felt the bullet kissed my forehead.

Just where Dad did a while ago.
