Josh

I'm trembling. The note in my hands. I can't breathe. I can't believe it. I can't even cry. I sit there, on my knees, not breathing. Not crying. My brain can't even process it.

But I finally am forced to breathe and the tears come pouring. More than they ever have before in my entire life. I know that there is no stoping them either. They're going to keep coming until my body can't produce any more. Here I am, a grown man, on my knees, holding a piece of paper, crying, screaming.

Screaming that I could have done better and I could have been here more. Noises just flood out of my mouth. I don't even think about if anyone will hear me or not.

If I would have came just a little earlier maybe this wouldn't have happened. I could have stopped it all. I wouldn't be crying, at least not this much.

This is when I realize, it's really over. There's no way to reverse this. I start losing my grasp on the world. The room spins. It gets faster and faster. It gets so fast and I get so dizzy. I feel like I'm physically moving.

Blackness.
