Suicide of the Mobians (DISCONTINUED)

Shadow

Rain poured down the window pane as the storm grew outside and i watched it beat down on the earth harder and harder until the earth began to give way to the beating it was being given, it reminded me so much of myself because this world had done nothing for me except torture and slowly destroy me until all that was left was this shell of sorrow.

i sighed as a memory of Maria came drifting through my still mind. I swear I can still feel her and i wonder if she could still be here, but a part of me knows she is never coming back.

I clutched the gun that i held in my hand and again tried to take my life through a gun, but my fear catches me and i throw the gun at the wall with a yell of defiance.

I put my face in my hands and slowly sank to the floor as despair weakened me to the point I could die from sheer will alone.

Maria dances in my vision and i can't bear it anymore i put my hands around my throat and squeeze as hard as i can, but just as black dots spin in my vision my instincts kick in and i release my throat and gasp for air

And then an idea struck me. And before I truly decided I acted.I grabbed a pencil and paper, I wrote the last words that anybody would see.

I've gone to be with her

With all my dying love,

Shadow.

I folded it up and placed it on the empty table, for anybody that would care to look. I walked down the hall to the closet to get the rope.

There wasn't many places I could place the rope except for the overhead beams in the dining room. As I walked down through the hall to the dining room the only sounds I heard where my footsteps and the rage of the storm outside.

I tied a noose with the rope and then tied the noose to the beam I had to stand on a chair to reach it though.

My heart was pounding in my head with fear and anticipation as I finished tying the noose.

As I stood on a chair and tightened the noose around my neck there was a knock on the door. "Hey Shadow you in there?" i didn't answer. Instead, I stepped off the chair and let the rope catch me.

My breath left me in a rush, and a horrible feeling appeared, fear. It coursed through my veins and all I could do was die.

I felt my body go numb as I struggled to breathe and black dots danced in my vision and it kept getting darker and darker as the dots begain to grow. The door swung open and Sonic was standing in the doorway.

"Hey Shadow where- Shadow!" horror crept over Sonic's face as he rushed forward. Just as the black dots consumed my vision and pain filled existence came to an end.

My eyes opened and saw a bright field of flowers. With the sun warming my black fur, I saw a familiar figure picking flowers with the warm breeze blowing through her hair.

"Maria!" I shouted over the distance, it had to be her it couldn't be anyone else. As hope grew in my chest, the girl turned and it was her. My Maria, with the same familiar face, same familiar smile.

Her eyes widened in shock and tears filled her eyes. And I swear she whispered my name. "Shadow!" She dropped the flowers she had been picking and ran to me. minutes passed as the hugging and tears diminished.

"Shadow I missed you so much, I thought I would never see you again." I swallowed my tears and pride and told what I should have said long ago. " I know I missed you to but . . . I - l wanted to tell you that I love you and that I always have. I never want to leave you again Maria.

She smiled and placed her hand on my cheek. "Shadow you didn't have to tell me, I always knew, and loved you right back for it."
