Chapter 2 - The letter

Right before I could jump off the balcony. I hear something from behind me. When I turn around I see a letter with a stamp on it. S.C is the print on the stamp.

"What the..." I walk over to the letter and pick it up with my hand, my sleeve went down a bit as I picked the letter up revealing the cuts I gave myself. When I open the letter my eyes immediately start reading.

"Dear Carson

Are you sad? Are you angry? Do you feel a black hole of emptiness in you..? Is life treating you like trash on the side of the road? But most importantly...

Do you want to escape?"

Those 5 words hit me like knives. I slowly opened the rest of the letter and continued reading.

"If you want to live a life where you are destined to live a 'perfect' life. choose how you want to live instead of living on a whim. Then I suggest you visit our organization. If you want to be 'happy' then make a choice right now. Continue living your life where your every movement feels dishonest and unlike you or start a new one, Where anything is possible. Where you can still be with the people you love even if they're dead. A perfect world"

"Where you don't have to feel empty anymore..." I read out loud.

My eyes slowly left the words and I turned the page to see a map showing instructions how to go to this organization. At that moment I made my choice.

I want to feel 'happy' but...Can someone like me really be happy? I questioned the whole perfect life thing for a bit...For someone like me who has only lived a life of pain, is being happy still possible for me?

I put my shoes back on and start reading the directions to this organization.

"I mean it's worth a shot, right?" If it's possible for me to start over then I won't hesitate.

I start reading the instructions carfully but stop right after the first sentence.

"Open your door then say the words 'I still want to live' you'll be brought to our organization." What bull is this? Is this some kind of prank. I swear to god...I'm so stupid of course someone like me can't be happy...!

"Tsk" Even though I knew it was just a prank I couldn't help but look at the door...I wanted to believe it but this is just...

Without realizing I run to the door and I force the door open and scream at the top of my lungs.

"I WANT TO LIVE!" And as expected nothing happens. I couldn't help but start crying. As I'm about to close the door. Something pulls me by my arm out the door.

What I see next, changes my life forever.
