This is the end.
These are the only words passing through my head, flying by like a face on a passing train.
I'm slipping in and out of consciousness. Sounds muddle together in an incomprehensible mess as though I'm underwater.
Which, I suppose, I am.
It's hell.
What else is there to say of the calamitous pain building in my head? My mind is a pressure gauge, ready to crack at any given moment. The needle is tipping ever so slightly past its capacity; pipes filling so densely that all that's left to do is pray that it doesn't burst.
This is the end.
These are the only words left in my brain; a weak echo left over from previous consciousness.
If not now, then when? Tomorrow? The day after? Perhaps it's best if I just let go.
It would be so simple to just let go.
How do I let go?
But what of my parents? I wouldn't get to say a final goodbye; there's so much I need to thank them for.
It's Isaac I worry about most. My parents have each other. Kaitlyn has her fair share of other friends. Without me, who has he got?
But no.
I don't have the energy for this.
I can't keep fighting the inevitable.
I'm letting go.
A blanket of darkness closes over my mind.
This is the end.
