the Was. of Jimmy McVonson - act one; division nine: Killing Myself

suicide, extreme shame

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwn4526VXp

my neck was sore when i woke up

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWCu1WA96D

and i thought

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7gIWtmOc7

i felt brave enough to do it

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83NBmfkKpg

to get rid of myself

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnpMCHXyUk

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp7TemdEmS

you want a reason?

this is my reason:

there is no adult version of me

there is nothing after this

i don't know it

i don't care to know it

i take too much and i give too little

i'm a parasite

and the fact that nobody else is brave enough to say it

only makes it worse

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxblWW9pwav

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxdPAolTXF

i didn’t want pops to see me kill myself

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8LorWVp5Y

gail wouldn’t have noticed if she did

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiSyBAxZaR

i decided to go far away

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXivf8I2fc

i kept walking

until the area stopped feeling like my hometown

it felt like desert

but it wasn’t desert

it was just slightly more rural than i was used to

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIukfLszep

there was a small cramped dairy

the bright colours made me feel like going inside

i’d like to look at all the pretty snacks

but i didn’t go

because it’s not a library

shops expect you to buy stuff

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzXmrCm0gr

it was cold

i was just in a t-shirt and jeans

not a plain t-shirt

never a plain t-shirt

but it wasn’t very warm

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmtmaUiUM3

it started spitting

not too wet

but very cold

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0AZNxqI1F

i said aloud to myself

“let’s get this over with”

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FU97K92dl

i pretended to myself

that it was a smaller deal

'nothing to worry too much about.'

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqLxt4Eb1n

there was a brown-orange train track running through the grassy hills

not many people were around

because it was a sunday morning

and it wasn’t a stereotypically beautiful day

but there were still trains

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn52G2zhaz

i could see one coming

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVY9GPi0ir

i went to stand on the train track

as the train was coming along

i was nervous

or excited

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYoZSSjODQ

to feel the force

i’d never felt before

that was strong enough to kill me

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujEEcEiRAP

or maybe it’s the train

cutting against the tracks that would do it

would that be possible?

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBqWuoOAAC

either way i was ready

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMSVFyk66F

i wanted to be dead

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hjAz92B36

now

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt64MatAzT

but the train stopped

with a loud screech

and someone got out

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqkbYlaG6l

i wasn’t prepared to get yelled at

or to explain myself

or to say sorry

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5kRRfX4N5

i hadn’t considered that the people in the train might be affected too

and that made me feel worse than before

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMzkXnK4K2

so i ran

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCRK0aAfQZ

i just fled the scene

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJcDitHcxM

because there was nothing else i had energy for

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1YfJdZ4Mu

fuck.

i tried choking myself with a piece of flax

behind the flax bush where no one could see me

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnYEEms9nO

it didn’t work

it was never going to work

it was a stupid idea

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8N1R6f6u5

and i was stupid

and crouched in a damp bush

with no heart to do anything else
