It was a Sunday, the same Sunday I feel like I lived a million times over. In limbo with the same insufferable monotony I've felt since the day I was born.
The same weight I feel mounting on my shoulders dragging me deeper into my own self inflicted despair.
It was the day I decided I was done, far past the breaking point. So I wrote letters, my final words to my family and those I love. Apologizing for what I was about to do, telling them it wasn't their fault and begging for their forgiveness.
I slipped past my family tempted to break down, to ask for help. But I was to lost in my own delusions and despair that I didn't.
Making my way outside to the garage I put on 'three little birds' the last song I ever thought I would hear. I set my letters on my step dads tool box, took one of his power cords tying it around a beam in the ceiling with one end and a noose on the other.
Stepping on a bench I put the noose around my neck.
I took my last breaths, shed my last tears.
Then I kicked the bench out from under me.

Dying took longer than I thought it would at first it was tolerable but as my body became desperate for air, panic and fear set in. In my final moments of desperation I tried to reach my phone to call for help like the coward I always knew I was. But it remained just out of reach. My vision blurred my lungs and body on fire, and then there was nothing.
There was no light, no dark, no matter at all an inconceivable void of all I ever knew when I was alive. There was no omnipotent beings judging me for my actions while I was alive. In a sense I myself was nothing at least in the ways I could comprehended at the time.
But as quickly as I entered this nothingness I found myself before a screen
