Escape

[Mature Content: Contains scenes of violence]

A piece of paper landed on my desk, while I was thinking of all those possible ideas I could die or kill myself. I ignored it and threw the paper away not even lifting my head to see who was the sender. Probably another note with some creative comment critically appreciating my looks. Oh well. Again someone threw a paper my way, this time I noticed 'please' was scribbled on the outside of it, curiosity got into me and I opened it.

"I know how your parents died.."

********
Life is a prison, death is my escape.

That was the line she swore on. She despised every moment she lived, every breath she inhaled. Her life that used to be a daydream has turned into a nightmare after her parents death.

She wanted to die but also wanted to bring her
parents' murder to justice.

She kept digging but it was a dead end.

Until one day, things changed. A boy's mysterious appearance, and a note she found which read:

"I know how your parents died."
