Fiction Sad

This story contains themes or mentions of suicide or self harm.

Again trigger warning for suicide and other mention of death!!


The world was quiet, it always was. He had never known anything other than silence, peace. He stands on the edge allowing the wind to blow past him as people crowd at the bottom, an audience of the dead to a death a long time coming, it feels fitting. He could see them yelling but their words were muted. The world seemed brighter at the thought of it ending and it almost made him want to stay. It’s odd to say the very least. Everything is always so complex. Everything except for silence. The embodiment of nothingness, it’s all he's ever known and all he’s ever craved. They told him to fix it and he refused. He wasn’t the broken one after all.

They crowded at the bottom in hopes of stopping him, his sister joined the group and that is what made him back up for a moment. She doesn’t deserve to watch. She is who helped him through the fiery Hell that is Earth. She was the only one who made him want to stay, but he returned to the ledge and she was gone. Her ghost faded into the wind that pushed his hair out of his face the same way she did. That hair she dyed a bright orange, perfect to find him in the dark. The color is faded now, he refuses to dye it since she left. He remembers her face as she lay still against the floor, still and silent. Her breath faded, he couldn’t feel her heartbeat.

The imagery of her and the idea of her death was enough to push him. His body flew forward but his hands clutched tight to the railing like he was arguing with himself, should he stay or should he go? Questions fill his mind, all those faces of the people who tortured him, the things that wanted to kill him finally getting what they want. No one really cares until you’re gone. He can feel the Earth turning, the wind blowing, his heartbeat going faster and faster. He can’t breathe. His voice is caught in his throat. He can’t think of anything else to do, there’s no other solution. His unzipped sweatshirt flies around chaotically. The voices in his head are silent, the only noise he had gone. He can feel the tears streaming down his face, the heat rising in his cheeks. He’s cold but feels warm. This is where he’s meant to be. Maybe it’ll be worth it in the end. He lets go of the railing and watches their faces blur.



The ending is meant to be open which means I have fewer words than I could have. This is just going to be me attempting to get the word count needed to post this story which is also why I'm dragging out sentences as much as I possibly can. Don't read this if you don't want to, it's nothing interesting. I don't totally know what I should write for this but I guess my name is Castiel, I named myself after the angel from Supernatural, I'm genderfluid, omnisexual, aroace, and polyamorous because decisions are impossible for me apparently. My best friend's name is Halo, my favorite animal is cats, my favorite color is purple, and I like to write and read. My current favorite book is red white and royal blue.

This is going to take to long I'm opting for random letters.
