Dutifully, the sky broke with beams of sunlight radiating warmth over her skin.
The chilly November wind left her with a sigh, as she sat to stare subconsciously out of her balcony with her cup of apple mint tea.
With a heavy heart, she sat there, allowing herself one more moment of vulnerability, tears collecting in her eyes, chest full of pain, and a sob breaks out of her.
'This is it' she thought.
The day she no longer carried out the weight of her baggage, the weight of her world on her shoulders.
Today was when she left behind those who promised to always be there.
Today she gave up.
and at that, she smiled. a small, sad smile. A defeated smile. the kind of feeling that can't be described.
She had her letters ready, engraved on each piece of paper were the names of her loved ones in golden ink, people who were never supposed to be put in this situation. the people she knew she owed so much to, the people who she wished she could explain and wished nothing but the best for.
At the break of dawn, her countdown came to a stop.
'This is it.' she thought.
and without a moment of hesitation, a loud bang shattered the early November morning.
A dead body was found.
