1 page out of 365 more. A blank page I dragged the ink across with an idea in mind but now my jagged lines are a permanent prologue to another tragedy. One that ends with the blade of a razor painted crimson with haste. Blood drops on the floor that seem to spell out the words, "I didn't mean to." I didn't mean to be the antagonist in your story line. I never meant to be a main character, or to even make an appearance. I'm sorry you read my lines and got attached to me. I print these letters on a typewriter with no backspace button for my mistakes. This is the mess I have made. 1 shiny sliver of metal. A blank wrist I dragged the edge across with desire in my heart but now plum-colored scars are a permanent epilogue to another tragedy. -k.d.
