She was alone that day. She lived on the sixteenth floor. Just a floor below the terrace, which didn't have any elevated edges. It was dark outside even if the day had just begun. 'It is going to rain soon', she thought. She was wearing a baby pink coloured cropped hoodie and gray coloured sweats. Even when she wore such pretty colours, she felt plain. She felt so lifeless. She wanted to end it all. As she let her emotions take over her, tears rolled down her cheeks. She picked her cup of coffee and walked up to the terrace. She sat down on the floor with her back being supported by the wall behind her. She drank the coffee in silence and after finishing it, she got up and took a step forward like a ballet girl does.

She danced in silence as the cold Breeze blew her out of her face, making her look beautiful. It started raining. It started slowly but picked up speed real fast. She kept dancing as the tears rolled down her cheeks with the droplets of rain. The clouds cried too, to make her feel like she wasn't the only one dancing. She spun towards the edge. Then she took a step, then a spin, then a step, then a spin. She danced on the edge, not fearing the fall. As she reached the corner of the building with a spin, she lifted her left feet, hung her arms loose in the air and let herself fall forward. That's how she ended the mess which she called her life.
