June 24th.

6/24.

The day was circled in bright red on the calendar hanging on the fridge, next to a slightly askew picture of a scribbled tree on a hill. A stereotypical child's drawing. One that you have probably drawn on the margin of your schoolwork while zoning out in class. You never work too hard on it, only a few lines here and there and youve moved onto the next empty space. Strange, for it to be hanging underneath a calendar, with no marks except for one big, bright red circle around June 24th.

A pair of hands gently grabbed the picture hanging on the frigde, and folded it along the creases, careful not to tear the unsaturated page. The hands were accompanied by a pair of feet, dressed in brown lace up boots. They walked across a hardwood floor, the sound only slightly disturbing the quiet- silent, air engulfing the apartment. The footsteps were muffled by the carpet as they entered the living room. Arms reached onto the couch to place the drawing inside of a backpack, right on top of other object shaped memories and necessities. The letters "JA" were printed sloppily on the back of the page. Eyes looked down at thise letter for a moment. The bag was zipped.

June 24th.

A decision.

June 24th.

A plan.

June 24th.

Two heart-wrenching words.

Footsteps back to the calendar. The fridge was opened, and on the bottom shelf, below the eggs, behind the leftover Mac and Cheese from two weeks ago, next to the black can of Monster Energy;

Blood. Two and a half liters of the stuff.

It took nearly two years, and extensive research, but it had been worth it. The same hands pulled the bottles out. They layed them on the small, mahogany table near the stove.

June 24th.

It was happening.

Hundreds of ideas and possibilities. One choice. One day that it could become a reality.

June 24th.

I am going to die.

June 24th.

But I'll be back.

June 24th.

That's today.
