Tears streaming down my pale face, darkened by the setting sun. The end of my long white gown was left dragging on the sand dunes. I didn't stop until I my bare feet touched the still ocean water, causing it to ripple and sparkle under the sunset.
I had half a mind to dive in and drown myself, for my life was not worth living for. My tear stained eyes searched for something to use as my "diving board" .
After a while, I spied some sharp rocks in the distance. Perfect. However, something in my mind was holding me back. I wavered, wondering if it was the right thing to do.
Suddenly, I heard voices, it was THEM! Walking, hand in hand, down the beach. I darted off toward the rocks, my feet pit-patting onto the soft shore of the sea. My heart could take this no longer. I had to end this, NOW.
I climbed up, my dress tearing at the sharp edges of the dreaded rocks. I closed my eyes and stood there completely still. Taking in the last of everything I once had, before I departed into the next dimension.
But before I could jump, someone called my name. "Kim? Kimberly?! What are you..." But before he could finish, I ran off. I didn't dare look back. Fearing he might find out what i was up to.
My aching feet brought me into the forest, snapping twigs here and there. My torn dress, soiled by the sand and sea, was trailing behind me. Tears welled up in my eyes once more, as horrid memories filled my mind.
I had lost everything, even the way out of here. No point in running now. I collapsed onto the damp forest floor and cried myself to sleep.
