It was so loud, very loud, but not as painful as I thought.

Maybe because I saw it coming? Seeing it in slowmotion, but I just stared at it, not moving any muscle of my body. I could have run away, but I just let it hit me.

Why? Was it really the time?

It felt liken, if someone poked with his finger in my chest. Not hard nor agressive. More kind of soft, but with a small needle on the top of the finger. It was just a light poke.
Even, when no one ever poked my chest, yet I could remember a feeling I have never felt.

Everything I heard, sounded like I would wear earphones, but without any music. It was just so quiet, yet so loud at the same time. It felt like something liquid was coming out of my ears, but at the same time, they felt closed by earphones.

My mouth felt dry, like really dry, it never felt that dry. How could it be so dry when I can taste the blood in my mouth?

What is my brain doing to me right now? Why do I feel such strange things in this moment?

I saw the glass around me shattring and flying around me. They looked like diamonds, the way they were glittering and shining, and just flew down like autumn leaves.

I loved autumn just, because of the falling leaves. Leaves falling down from the tree's in other colors than green. I loved the red ones the most. I've always watched them falling and as a kid I even collected some. They were so beautiful with the blood red shine on them.

The flying glass shards, which were just like diamonds, were also bathed in red.

Autumn in the middle of summer. Autumn in a tower with around 80 floors. And I was in the 56th floor. Falling. Falling with blood-red bathed glass shards and they looked so beautiful.
