In An Attempt To Gain Power

Dead!

I sprinted through the halls, the shrill bell ringing behind me. My hair flowed in the wind as my feet pounded against the ground. The day had just ended and I was not willing to stay in the hell hole called "school".
I was desperate to escape the cunning teachers and snobby kids, I didn't have many friends either so there was nothing holding me there.

Home, was the only thought that raced through my mind.

My name is Alicia Rosewood, I'm a freelance artist that doesn't get good grades or earns money, and if I do get an income it's only 20 dollars at most . Today wasn't the right day to bring my sketchbook to school, as it got soaked in rain that poured down in the afternoon, but I didn't have another choice, for I was in a rush to go home and then hurry to the event I wanted to attend.

However, while I was making my way across the usually desolate road, I was in too much of a hurry to look both sides before crossing as there usually weren't any vehicles in this part of town anyway.

And...

I tripped. In the middle of the street.

In the corner of my eyes I saw a truck hurling full speed towards me. The bright headlights blinding me.

I panicked. I attempted to scramble to my feet. My heart racing, sweat on my palms that were slightly bleeding against the rough concrete

The driver obviously couldn't see my pathetic figure sprawled on the road. He didn't even attempt to brake as he continued drive the truck onward as if there was nothing going on.

I was a hair's width away from the roaring beast that has killed thousands and forcefully removed their souls from this Earth. I wasn't going to become a victim, I swore it on my life, although I'm not sure if that counts.

Not today truck-sama! You will never take me alive! Oh wait-

Despite the overwhelming power of the truck, I managed to escape onto the other side of the road. Gasping for air, I had made it to the correct side of the road. It was a surprisingly life-threatening journey for such a simple task. Thus, I deemed the situation important enough to go to the nearest store and buy some ice-cream to congratulate this achievement after putting a bandaid on my bleeding knees.

I would be glad about this survival but...

I...

Choked on the ice-cream I bought to congratulate my miraculous survival. How clumsy do you need to be to that!?

How ironic. I choked on my survival celebration.

I suppose I was destined to die today,with no way to escape.

My consciousness faded away and the world became dark and cold. It was a truly terrifying feeling as the unknown took place.

I guess that this is the end...
Goodbye dear ice-cream... I'll forever remember you as you killed me with your sweet creamy taste...

I'm also an amateur at writing so don't expect long chapters or writing of high quality. Also don't expect consistent updates as I tend to be very forgetful. but I'll try my best! :)

Ps. I'm trying to do a thing were all the chapter titles are song names. At the beginning of each chapter I'll link the song. I'll try to include songs from different genres and such. (I'll only use songs that I know so the genres and stuff might be a bit biased.) If you have any song recommendations I'll gladly try and use them
