Ideal TimeLine, 

December 21st, after the accident

Everyone was talking about the end of the world, yesterday, and as much as I would have wanted it otherwise, the end of time did not happen today. At least, not yet, but it's 11h50 and nothing happened so far. Maybe was it because of that, that despite my depressed and exhausted state, I was still up? I doubted it. Yesterday, on this Friday of December, school was finally over for the semester and they had organized a few activities to celebrate, in which, obviously, I had not taken part, but I was thankful to enjoy the day, at least a little, even if it was only a temporary win, and I was dreading the upcoming two weeks on my own, with this little voice in my head that'd never shut up.

23h55... still nothing. Should I expect something? My friends all had bided each other farewell, laughing, even if their energy did let see an ounce of doubt floating in their minds. and if? It was only superstitions... anyways, what were the chances that not even one year had been skipped or lost or got ahead since the Mayans' era. It was only a theory, but what could confirm that they didn't run out of big stones? Or was it depending on the different time zones around the world? There were too many imponderables, too many inconsistencies for it to happen tonight.

23h57.... Maybe that only meant that the end of a world; mine, as it happened. It would be so easy I only asked myself one question; why didn't I already do it? There was nothing left for me here. The only person that ever loved me left me and I would lose nothing. I did not believe in god, nor any form of superior forces, because those so-called benevolent beings could not be so cruel, otherwise none of this would have happened. Wouldit be best if I ended it?

23h59... Counting seconds before the bells of midnight helped a little to think about something else than my pain and grief. I shouldn't think about that. I have mom, and my friends, didn't I ? Friends that would barely notice me being gone, and mom that would have a lot less trouble without me as a burden in her life. It's been six months since I stopped living and started surviving. Why was he gone, leaving me alone in this world that I could not understand? I was different, even more abnormal than one could believe, now more than ever before, something only one person in my entire existence had understood.

Midnight... there! The moment, the day, the end of the world had passed, without anyone seeing it. What now? What would happen? Maybe something escaped and would cause destruction in an imminent future? Maybe... no. nothing happened. It was but one of many other deceptions in my life, then, another shadow pulling me, forcing me to go on even if I had nothing to look forward to.

One passed midnight... it's over... but wha....

A small light, brighter than the stars in the sky seemed to call to me. It wasn't there before, that I was certain of. Like a swaying fire, the light flickered, lightened, from a side to the other. Like it was... alive. And... becoming bigger? It must've been an illusion, so far away but closer... to me?

I bit my lips, the light becoming stronger than the sun, and I couldn't bear to see it. It was so close now, the sky was barely visible, then the roofs of nearby buildings, then the window frame, until nothing existed around me aside this warm saving light. Was it the end?

Was the end of the world finally here?


August 10th, 2012

September 28th, 2011. We were outside, sitting at a picnic table in what seems to be the school yard. Many birch trees were around us, hardly maintained, they had branches till the ground, making them look like giant bushes, but still offered us a partial shadow against the high and strong noon sun. it was the hottest day since fall at started. Hence why my friends thought of eating outside. The boy in front of me, though, was not part of my friend group. In fact, I barely knew him at all.
