I’d never been more excited about an ending.
I turned the wheel as I approached my street. My vehicle started to move into the right lane. I took the curve, gliding through as I had done hundreds of times. Gliding through my life.
A screeching of tires cut right through my glide. A crunching of metal. A blast of air. The exhaust whining into the distance, crying out for help.
And then I was gliding again.
Gliding, and gliding, and gliding.
Chapter Sixty-One
Fifteen Years Before
I squeezed the empty beer can inside my fist, crushing the aluminum container, before tossing it into the wastebasket in the park. My soul empty, shattered. Nothing left inside of me.
The creek called to me, shimmering beneath the moon.
I was tired of it all.
Tired of breathing.
Tired of living.
Before I even knew what I was doing, I was waist deep in the lake, too numb to feel the cold. Too number to feel a damn thing.
“Hey, Jemma! What’re you doing?”
I thought I heard Jamie’s voice yell after me in the far distance.
But I didn’t give two shits anymore.
And as I dunked my head, I welcomed the nothingness that awaited me at the bottom.
All I wanted to do was die.
Chapter Sixty-Two
Fifteen Years Later
And now, when all I wanted to do was live, my soul floated away.
I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt all my body had done was die.
Chapter Sixty-Three
Death
A bright light slapped me in the face. An auric tunnel beckoned, my soul moving toward it as though I no longer had control of my faculties, the rest of my reality a blur of nothingness. My entire being vibrated, and… Iknewwhat this meant.
I knew I’d detached from a physical body that could no longer hold me.
Death had finally come for me.
At the exact moment when I was no longer ready to go.
Despite my reservations, my unwillingness to die, I gravitated toward the tunnel. The white light grew, consuming the entire environment. Until solid white filled every section of my new universe.
A bright white floor. Ceiling. Sides. White every which way.
