Goodbye, Valerie. You had a good run.

Elstaer

I have no idea what to say.
            
            I think you have heard everything already
            "its going to be fine"
            "ily"
            "believe in yourself"
            
            ...
            
            Hug?

I hallucinated death today. Four more days, I know, and I know it was just a hallucination, but I saw it. He was tall, and he wore a dark cloak, as if he was depicted in a cartoon.
            
            He held his hand out to me, and the fingers were thin and boney.
            
            I was sitting outside, trying to remain calm as I realized how little time I have, and suddenly he was there. His cloak swayed with the wind as he reached his arm out.
            
            I didn’t take it. I stood, and he was only a bit taller than me, but I didn’t take it. I just stared at him. Then, as if to rid myself of the hallucination, I could see a version of myself that I didn’t recognize taking his hand. She was the same height as me, and had the same hair color, but she was so much brighter. A smile remained on her face as she looked back at me.
            
            The two walked off into the yard, towards the woods that border our property, and I could hear them speaking.
            
            It was Veronica.
            
            “Am I real, now?” She asked.
            
            Death nodded.
            
            And I whispered that she always was.
            
            But she’s gone, I think.

Radon is terrible. We had a leak in our house when I was eight for just a bit too long. We all breathed it, but I am the one that is suffering for it.
            
            Radon is undetectable. Tasteless, odorless, colorless and weightless, it is invisible. And because of it I have a brain tumor, a cancer, and I am going to die.
            
            With me, not only do I go, so does someone that all my friends knew and loved. So does someone who people cared about. So does the one person my girlfriend could confide in.
            
            With me, Nadia no longer has a reason to leave the house. With me go countless unfinished works that could have been sold one day. With me go the dreams of a child, I am still a child. I am still young. I have a life ahead of me, but now, I only have thirteen days.
            
            I wonder if I was born to die young. I matured so quickly because of my hallucinations. Bottles of sleep medication changed weekly from age eight made me experience life fast, I behaved much older than I was. Live fast, die young, I suppose.
            
            I feel like sixteen is too young, though.
            
            I’m going to cry if I write more, but I think I need to.
            
            I have thirteen days to do the last things I might ever be able to do. Check off the bucket list. I need to get out, go outside, spend time with people I love. Come clean and let my online friends know who I am, but I can’t.
            
            It’s like I want to close myself off so people are less sad when I’m gone.
            
            I’m not going to, though. I’m going to enjoy these last few days. I’m going to ignore the fear that I am going to die.
            
            I have more time, more notice, than a lot of people.
            
            Part of me hopes I die in surgery.

I’m discontinuing all of my stories in case I literally pass on, kind of like a Theseus’s black sails kind of thing. I’ll reopen them if I, you know, live. I’ll also be releasing all my written chapters/publishing the rest of the stories in Pebble Brain and the plot points if you’re interested. This will obviously be taken down if I live.
          
          I know that sounds scary but how could death allow me to deny anyone a good story? And @SatisDivinus and I worked reallllyyyy hard on a lot of these.
          
          Thanks for all the support, and don’t stop giving me feedback these possible last few days, I thrive off validation

Sorry I’ve been inactive part 2:
          
          Really important update. I’m dying.
          This isn’t some silly joke, I got diagnosed with epilepsy despite never having seizures. I had one and I didn’t respond the way I should’ve, the doctors held me in the hospital for two days and told me that all of the issues we assumed were because of insomnia and epilepsy weren’t either of them. They scanned my brain and turns out I have a tumor.
          
          It isn’t very large and I’ll most likely be fine after surgery, but the odds still aren’t exactly in my favor. Since it’s brain surgery there’s a chance I could die in surgery, there’s a chance it might not work and my days are numbered, or it does work and my days are significantly less numbered than before but still worse than a normal person.
          
          I’m 16. I only found out about this yesterday. I’ve had the tumor since I was 8, we had a radon leak in our house that went unnoticed for too long.
          
          I’ll most likely be fine, but I’m a little bit in shock
