(So I skipped the intended one for today/yesterday -#12, in favor of this one because my mood fit it more...forgive me xD) #54. Begin a letter: “I am telling you this story because you are the only person who will not judge me…” I am telling you this story because you are the only person who will not judge me. You are the only person who will understand. I’ve been having a rough time. The sun doesn’t shine the same, and the world seems just a little bit grayer. We’ve all made mistakes, but mine is damning. Believe me. Two weeks ago, I killed a man. I crushed his spirit and soul with a single shot to the heart. I won’t burden you with the details, the motive, or the cleanup, but it goes without saying that it was a mistake. And since then, I’ve been haunted. I see the face of the man when I close my eyes, in a sea of familiar voices that perpetually condemn me. In moments of peace I feel a gripping fear of the same happening to me – dying alone, friendless, in a dark alley. I talk with people but it’s all meaningless. No one could begin to understand this pain, and I can’t hope to share it. I walk alone in a world filled with people, lost to my thoughts and drowning in my sorrow. I am telling you this story not to inspire you to action, but because you can understand. Our mistakes may be different, but the haunted existence resulting is the same. Because that’s exactly what I’m now living – a haunted existence.
