It's year 2050 Every human was born with a symbol etched onto their skin. you may be asking what do the symbols represent?
Each symbol is an indicator of your inevitable death. I am Cole Adams and I've been an outcast my entire life and its sad since I am merely 17 years old.
My symbol has a gun and its very uncommon especially since I've never seen a red gun symbol before, which is confusing. We grow up accepting our death and understanding it can be horrible, or for instance if your symbol is a bed, you die in our sleep.
The people in my school who have the bed symbol are 'popular' meanwhile loners like me who have the not so popular gun symbol OR symbol containing a lightning bult. Its the rare ones like us who are subjected to being laughed at, which I don't understand.
Anyway I am just writing my story to explain my life.
I was 15 years old and I had fallen madly in love with a nymphet gorgeous girl, the stained pink dye in her hair with her chipped black nails struck me, I never thought to fall for a girl quite as unique as her.
I'm simple, brown hair brown eyes 5'7 and I never thought she would fall for me, but yet, she did. We had a beautiful teenage love. We lost our virginity to each other, and in our world its not common to lose it early, just because our deaths could happen anytime.
Her symbol was the cancer zodiac sign, and it did mean the illness. It was uncommon for a girl with such a popular symbol to fall for a boy like me, but she loved me anyway. Her dark empty eyes glowed when she would look at me, she made me forget about my symbol, my thoughts would be gone around her. I loved her.
10 months in and she began to be distant, she didn't kiss my cheek and ruffle my hair. She didn't shoot off love signals as she once did. Her touch felt unknown. She fell for another person, she loved him like i've never seen before.
I never would of thought my symbol meant suicide, but it did. With my last breath I still loved her, I loved her forever. This is my suicide note/ story of my life. I died on April 10th, 2051.
