The space between the concrete was just wide enough to see the tops of the buildings, and then the sky. Were there clouds at night? Shivering, she let go into the swirl. The curlique slide into nothingness. It was painless. There is this one store, this one shitty parking lot, in the middle of nowhere cracked pavement, going on forever. The sky there. The sky there is endless. At night, you will fall, it seems so easy to trip on a pebble in the parking lot and then the sky will just suck you up. Into nothing. If you stare at it long enough, you might freak out a little. That sky, that endless sky. It was all she could think about. And then, how bad, how bad would it really be to just be swept away by that sky. To not have to go back. That was all she could think, sitting there, freezing. How bad could that have possibly been? Footsteps echoed nearby and she turned her head. It was Nicolette. It was Nicolette and they were sitting on the concrete, they were the concrete. They were the sky. Everything blurred freezing, cold swept up away inside of them. They didn't exist anymore. They were the surroundings. They were the frozen wind. They were the concrete building. They were the endless sky. Who were they? She couldn't tell didn't want to be able to tell. She was fine with everything just being the way it was. There was no more differences between anything. The only smudged lights she could see anymore were the purple and red. The colors burned themselves into her brain. She couldn't remember. She couldn't think. So she let go.
