I have no time. No I have all the time in the world. But at the same time, I have a second to make a decision. To end everything or be a coward. Now that I come to think of it, both decisions are bad. If I end my life, then I'd be selfish. If I decide to live, I'd be a coward. But I have to make a decision. But I don't know what to do. I don't know what I want. They'll be coming after you by now, Tal. You better hurry up. Tell me. Surrender to them, or die in defiance. But if I die I'll lose everything. If you die, you save your nation. But what's left of my nation? There's so much left for your nation. If you die, you can save it. So do it. Save your nation. I sigh and close my eyes, letting the wind whip through my hair. All I can do is stand here, at the literal-precipice of my life. I can step off of this precipice, end it all, or an just walk away, leave it, never come near it again. But still let it haunt my memories for the rest if my life. I can't move forward, I can't move backwards. It's a checkmate for me. It's a checkmate for Nathalia. I can take any other move. Goodbye world. the waves crash against razor sharp rocks, roaring and gnashing their dog-like teeth. Nathalia Sonesta Arceneaux, stop where you are. It's too late they've come.
For a second I am weightless, and the wind blows in My hair, and my head throbs. It hits a hard surface, and black is all I see. Rising, rising, i feel I'm rising.
