A prologue that I wrote for a story that I no longer remember | Literature 2022

Yes, I am going to die today. 

Yes, I am aware of the consequences. 

Yes, I was not forced nor coerced to make this decision. 

Yes, I am of sound mind and legal age. 

I check all the boxes, each scratch of the old fashioned pen makes me feel closer to my goal. 

Nevermind that I'm 13, still 3 years away from the mandated age of decision. Nevermind that this was my bestfriend's dying wish. 

Nevermind that I didn't pay attention in school enough to actually know what I'm doing.

Nevermind that there's a chance I won't actually wake up. 

Nevertheless.. 

Alexai, I'll see you soon.
