49

-one-

The number 49 never used to have any significance in my life. It was always just the number after 48 and before 50. But that was before it happened.

Now I realize how much the number 49 had effected my life.

The 49th day of the fight between my twin brother, Joseph, and me was the day it happened. I had not spoken to him for 49 days, but that was before it happened.

Now he's the only one I will speak to.

The day I received my 49th consecutive A on a test was the day it happened.

I haven't gotten an A since.

The 49th hour of owning my new iPhone was the hour it happened.

I will not use my phone again.

And worst of all, it was her 49th birthday when it happened.

She will never get to experience a full day of being 49.

I never thought a number could have such significance in one's life.

I have never been more wrong.
