I'm fatalistic. I've always had a feeling the end would come soon. After seeing death happen before my very eyes, I've started prepping. I started by hoarding water bottles under my bed, and taking karate classes. There's no way that I would go down without a fight.

Of course, I never intended to die. I mean, really die. I guess I thought I'd be that one guy who could survive almost any catastrophe.  I figured I was invincible. But in the end, what did me in was a car accident. No end of the world, just the end of my world. If I could've done it all over again, I would've confessed to my best friend, Marco. But he's probably still confined in his room, waiting for a new heart. He doesn't even know I'm dead.

The part that sucked was the fact that I died for a stupid reason. Most people could've easily avoided it. Sometimes, you can drive away without a scratch. Or you could do what I did. You could spot a dead cat in the road and avoid it by swerving out of the way into another lane, colliding with another car. And If you hit your head the way I did, you die.

If it wasn't for my love of cats, I could've just hit it drove away unscathed. I mean, it was already dead, right? I could've moved on. I could've still been alive.
