Chapter 1: 
This Is For All My Friends And Family* 
 
    It started out as a normal day.  The sky was blue, the grass was green, and the sun was 
high in the sky.  I woke up at nine and cleaned myself up after a night of insomnia and 
drinking.  My apartment was trashed.  I haven’t been taking care of myself for months. 
 Today it was going to change. 
     
After my morning ritual, I began cleaning my home.  There were food wrappers 
and beer bottles surrounding the floor of my bed and wadded up newspapers in my 
kitchen.  I don’t remember the newspapers; it must have been something I collected while 
I consumed dangerous amounts of liquid courage.  After picking up the trash, I swept and 
mopped the floors.  I hated hard wood floors but it was the only apartment I could afford 
at the time.  Now that I think about it, I shouldn't complain.  While the floors were 
drying, I dumped the trash into the compactor and smoked a cigarette on the stairwell. 
 My landlord told me not to smoke there because the old hag that lives next door 
complained of the smell and the butts I leave on the steps.  It’s a “safety hazard†if 
someone slips on them.  I hope she slips on them one day. 
     
I went back into my apartment and made my way to my bathroom.  I left the door 
open so they could find me.  I took the disposable razors I bought the night before and 
broke them to separate the blades.  I figured two would be enough to do the deed.  I 
rolled up my sleeves and dragged a vertical line down my left wrist.  The bloods dripped 
onto the floor and I watched it splash onto the sink.  I made another vertical line on my 
right wrist and began to feel dizzy.  This was the end... 
 
Or so I thought.  
 
A/N: Please review so I can decide on continuing or not.  For those of you waiting for me 
to update Devil Beside You, fear not, I will be soon (hopefully).  This is an idea I had for 
a while and I wanted to see if people would be interested in reading it.
