Description

For as long as I've remembered, I have been saying goodbye.

 

To the pets that I once had

To the twenty dollar bill blown away by the wind

To the eyelashes I made for wishing

To the last scoop of pistachio ice cream that had fallen on the floor

 

I have been saying goodbye

 

To the people,

Mostly to the people

 

And I go on with life knowing that everyday everybody loses something.

 

I lose something.

 

Someone.

 

Everyone.

 

Myself.

 

Foreword

 

Everybody in school knows me as the girl who writes for and about dead people. Sometimes I become so engrossed with writing that I become like the dead, emotionless and pale. For that reason, the people at school tend to stay away from me. It has never bothered me one bit because for one I don't really like socializing and two, I like being alone; it's kinda less of a drag that way and-

 

Hey.”

 

I stopped my pen in the middle of a journal entry and looked up to find a guy with the most amusing set of eyebrows taking a seat in front of me.

 

I don't mind at all.”

 

He eyed me with a puzzling look while fixing his hair that happened to be separated in the middle. He was wearing a gray hoodie and sported an earring on his left ear. I stared back at him for a good 3 seconds and looked away because I found it very uncomfortable. That was the time he understood my response.

 

Oh, that was rude of me..”

 

I sighed and closed my journal a little too loudly. Did the guy just flinch?

 

Let's just get to the point. You want me to write a death message for one of your dead pets or something, right?”

 

He ruffled his hair, began chuckling and his eyes turned into slits. What the heck.

 

Yes and no.”

 

What?”

 

I want you to write a eulogy but it's not for a pet or any other person.”

 

My eyes began to widen.

 

You want me to write one for your broken psp or something? I haven't done that but I'll try and-”

 

For me.”

 

What?”

 

I want you to write a eulogy for me.”

 

 


 

If by any chance that my storyline proves to be the same with another,

I assure you that it is purely coincidential.

I am against plagiarism and you, reader, should be too.

Have a good day.
