The Sunset That Killed

Here I was on this sunset surrounded cliff. The breeze blowing through my rough, thick hair. I could see a sheet of royal blue ripples in action, swallowing each other as the wind pushed the waves. In the distance, a large ferry sailed along freely like no tomorrow. This was the place my sorrows came came out of me and jumped off the tall cliff, into the great unknown. I was thinking about how I was bullied at school, injured at home and left all broken by myself to mend. This was not living.

I stared out into the sea, trying to see where it ended and there was no end in sight. It was so free. The sea could go as far as it wanted and not come back to a world of sorrow and shame, a.k.a, my life. And I was not proud of it. I stood up and shouted, “I WILL NOT TOLERATE MY DISTRESS LIKE IT IS APART OF EVERY DAY LIFE!”. I could scream as loud as I wanted hear because like the sea could swallow up itself, it could swallow up agony and everything else negative.

And then and ingenious brain wave came to my head. If I enjoyed being by the sea so much, why not join it? I would rather jump in than suffer the life I have now. It was just not fair.

So I spread my arms like an eagle preparing to enjoy the meaning of freedom and leapt…

I felt the coolness of the water on my bruised skin and my hair float magically. I felt like a wild dog, I didn’t have a care in the world for anything. I could see the sea life and everything around me as I took a 360 degree turn of my surroundings wich were surreal. Blue, gold, pink, green and red fishes dashed past me in schools and then the most majestic stingray I had ever seen came floating my way. I saw it go by with my very own eyes, it was beautiful.

Then everything slowly faded. Slowly, slowly, slowly and i was left with a feeling of happiness. Yes, pure happiness. I may have just lost my life, but at least I lost it to the land, or should I say sea, where everything is possible.
