Chapter 1:

    Do you ever feel sad-the kind of deep, pit-of-you-stomach, bring-you-to-your-knees kind of sad? Where you feel trapped inside the pain but can't bear to let it go? Where you want to be alone, but not feel lonley? The kind of sad that is suffocating yet freeing, cold and never-ending? 

   Yeah I feel like that all the time.

   It all started two months ago. I hardly remember much of it, just fragments.

   The lights. The screaming. The grinding and squealing of metal colliding with metal.

   The smell of blood. Fire. Smoke.

   Fear. Desperation. Guilt.

   Guilt. Guiltguiltguiltguiltguilt.

   It eats you up and destroys any decency you might have had. It takes you by the hand and drags you into the never ending sadness.

  I used to be happy once.

  But now my mom and sister hate me, and my dad is in a coma.

   And it's all my fault.

   All my fault.

  All my fault.
