Nov 5

It’s interesting how easily you can allow yourself to fade without a single person noticing.

 

They tell you, “Oh I love you!” one minute.

 

The next the only voices you hear are the whispering giggles of the ghosts all around you.

 

"I know when I’ll go," I tell them.

 

Their giggles increase as they circle the room.

 

"Oh? Do you now?" they mock.

 

"November 5th," I spit into the familiar darkness.

 

Their mocking increases.

 

They don’t trust that I’ll go through with it.

 

That I will honestly throw my soul from it’s cursed shell and allow them to devour it’s remains.

 

They think I’m too scared of where I’ll end up after I die.

 

Why should I be?

 

If I’m anywhere but here I’ll be content.
