The first snowflake of winter fell out of the sky this morning, no one else seemed to notice though. Who would be up at one in the morning right?

The tiny flake was the first out of many, and the wind blew it on to my dirt window pane, and several other snowflakes followed afterwards too. My apartment walls are so very thin and moldy that I can feel the bone chilling breeze emit off of my walls, but most importantly I can watch these tiny snowflakes fall down one by one.

Most people seem to hate the winter. Maybe because it's so cold and there's nothing to do, plus most people only love winter because of Christmas, Hanukkah, or another different holiday. People like me, I love winter because it's so cold and easy to breathe in. The snow is almost always a nice visit, and if not I reassure myself that snow will always return. Two years, ten, even twenty years it will return. Isn't that strange?

The snow is beginning to freeze on the corners of my window panes, but despite the comfort of the cold and the snow... I feel so lonely. Mrs. Harvey is downstairs, and I'm back to my lonesome apartment like before. God... I feel so dark and cold. My hands are numb, my eyes are heavy, and it feels like my body will shut down any day now. 

I don't feel afraid, though quite the opposite.

I am ready for my death, and it will come sooner or late.

Ah... I can hear the town clock chime within the distance, but that only reminds me of how tired I am. I guess I'll sign off with this.

Goodnight.


Signed,

Bonnie Gray
