I step closer to the edge, the wind flying through my mint green hair. The bustling city making loud noises to echo through the streets and artificial light to leave a soft glow over the city, blocking the stars. Blocking my only escape.


I drag my feet closer to the edge of apartment building. Looking down I see the black abyss of the alleyway I walked through moments ago. No one would care if I jumped, I have no one after all. I look up to the polluted sky and sigh.


I feel fear tugging on my heart as I look back down at the black abyss.


I shouldn't jump.


I step back and walk slowly backwards, not once looking away from the edge.


As I open the door and turn back towards the edge I feel regret washing over me.


And as I walk down the dark stairs, I feel like a coward.


I'm so craven.
