9:00pm (Bedtime)

As I Got Ready To Bed, Wearing My White And Frilly Nightgown.

I Left My Bathroom And Tuck Myself To Bed.

I Saw Myself With A Young Undefined Person, With My Parents.

So Is This Before They Died?

"Augh!" I Clenched My Head, As I Tried To Remember.

I Screamed In Pain, As Pictures Began Flowing In Front Of Me.

What Are These!?!

Who Is That Person Next To Me!?!

I Fell To The Ground.

Where I Used To Stand And My Eyes Shut.

Then When I Open My Silver Eyes, Slowly.

I Found Myself In My Room Standing At The Full Moon Leaking Though A Window.

Then, When I Looked Down....

My Eyes Widen, Tears Fell From My Cheeks.

When I Tried To Wipe Them Away More Fell And My Face With Smeared With Crimson.

My Hands Drew To Cover My Mouth....

My Hands Were Covered With Blood.

This Wasn't My Blood...

I Never Wanted To Remember This...

That Person Was Dead....

He Was Surrounded With Blood..

My Heartbeat Grew Rapidly.

My Hands Were Tembling, Fuzzy.

No....

No No No No..

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!

My Shaking Hands Began To Cover My Head.

I Trembled, And Collapsed To My Knees.

I Killed Him!!!

I Was The One Who Murdered...

Alex....

My Brother....

I Cried...

I Began To Burn Up.

A Bloodcurdling Scream Echoed In The Halls.

I Was Trying To Breathing.

It Hurts..

My Lungs...

Hurt...

I Began To Cough Up Splurges Of Blood Splattered Out Of My Mouth.

My Own Body Betrayed Me...

It Felt Like It Was Eating Itself Off My Flesh And Bone.

I Woke Up Alive Covered In Blood.

I Never Wanted To Live Like This.

It's True.
