On his fifth life, everything was silent, even himself. He was deaf and mute. Luckily, his diary was still there so that he can speak his thoughts. He never got to hear anything after a military jet passed above him, it made his eardrums not work anymore. He was born mute as well. This is the definition of what he called as silent and deadly, because you never know when someone talks or asks you something. All he wanted is to hear again and speak for the first time. But, he had no solution more, than to do game over.
Dear Diary,
Silence, once more, circled around me. I want to hear again, that's what I "speak" in my mind. I feel like nothing. I feel like an abnormality of the world. I felt that I shouldn't be here. And then I've thought to myself, "I'm just rubbish, so why be alive?" And there I have done the ritual... I found a rope, a long, long rope. I found a building, a tall, tall building. I climbed the building. I tied the rope as tight as I can. I tied the other end at my neck. I jumped as high as I could. And as you know it, SNAP! The rope snapped my head off, leaving my body and my head flying in the city. Life just gave me bad luck.
