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

suicide, extreme shame

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikjEg1qyme

my neck was sore when i woke up

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEg3jYF6PQ

and i thought

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU5n63C1rk

i felt brave enough to do it

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0NSAbWY8Q

to get rid of myself

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ0BeNIlPg

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSYtejUPVC

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

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRCPMsp6ZM

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHFxiTp1Q

i didn’t want pops to see me kill myself

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNleu2O46hg

gail wouldn’t have noticed if she did

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0pHOLJ92q

i decided to go far away

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTfJqzlJaK

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

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttg7jEXAFe

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

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7HcYFMf5q

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

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f3CpiqugJ

it started spitting

not too wet

but very cold

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzgAWqVNix

i said aloud to myself

“let’s get this over with”

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pwEFnBgA6

i pretended to myself

that it was a smaller deal

'nothing to worry too much about.'

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxgldoiobS

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

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCj16V79gL

i could see one coming

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3dxp139Qa

i went to stand on the train track

as the train was coming along

i was nervous

or excited

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKzo15g2oG

to feel the force

i’d never felt before

that was strong enough to kill me

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdWfkZOwNc

or maybe it’s the train

cutting against the tracks that would do it

would that be possible?

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo7OFqbjg6

either way i was ready

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQqYhZGXpZ

i wanted to be dead

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5SPJzyasf

now

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkSM5ctoyQ

but the train stopped

with a loud screech

and someone got out

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Lr6w7Adp

i wasn’t prepared to get yelled at

or to explain myself

or to say sorry

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR7Dculz0E

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

and that made me feel worse than before

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU7ODZmTuI

so i ran

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcN5HSBVCw

i just fled the scene

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl1Vi69oKs

because there was nothing else i had energy for

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UdjfSk98v

fuck.

i tried choking myself with a piece of flax

behind the flax bush where no one could see me

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO1DRoy8tH

it didn’t work

it was never going to work

it was a stupid idea

303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vj4DMM16P

and i was stupid

and crouched in a damp bush

with no heart to do anything else

end.303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg3p0DB44y
