A 17 year old boy.
A 5 year old baby sister.
A plastic doll, wrapped in a baby blue blanket.
A fun day on the beach.
And a horrible mistake that changed everything...
The cold wind howled around him, and would soon turn his gloveless hands numb, not that he would notice or worry about it. He walked in a daze, not caring that taking a stroll on the beach on a cold October morning, might not be the wisest thing to do. In his left hand he held the doll, which was quietly dangling from side to side, as he step by step neared his destination, a place that he had visited constantly in the past couple of days.
He stopped and lifted his lifeless hazel eyes to look at the moss covered boulder near the seashore.
He had reached his destination.
The place, where the meaning of his life had ceased to exists.

[mon-a-chop-sis]
What am I to this world but a plastic bottle in the ocean? Thrown aside to get lost in the waves. An empty reminder of what once was forever stuck as a shell of what could have been.
Maybe I could be something to her.
Am I worthy to breathe the very oxygen that fills her lungs? Worthy enough to share my days beneath the sun and under the moonlight by her side?
Or am I just a plastic bottle reflecting the sun light long enough to trick foolish eyes that I am a diamond?
