If I Run Fast Enough
Description
You can't hide from yourself. The brightest smiles, the most tear-stained cheeks, they only tell so much of the story.
.................
I... honestly don't know why I'm doing this. I hate angst. But here I am, with... this. I have, lately, been really wanting to write, but at the same time I'm having a hard time putting the ideas in my head on paper (or Microsoft Word, as it were). Yeah... two research papers in as many weeks does that to a Senior ㅋㅋ. But I hope to update this fairly frequently (if I can trick anyone into thinking I'm actually a good writer lol).
OK. I'll leave it up to ya'll. Enjoy the Forward and tell me if you want me to continue ^^
(Also, this is my first real attempt at first person. I have always written in third, so we'll have to see how this works out... ^^;;)
Foreword
I feel myself teetering on the edge of the cliff, just one step away from taking that head first dive into the nothing-filled abyss of tomorrow. The laughter around me was rattling in my head, tearing me into little, bite-sized pieces. The wide grins, the smiling eyes…. I couldn’t escape them. They taunted me, leaving deep scars in my psyche. I want to cry, so they can see the damage they’ve wrought, but the tears don’t come. I stay stone-faced and bleeding, looking over the edge of death.
