The day that the sun met the moon, was the day that I gave into the night. That morning I woke up to the familiar sound of the birds chirping and my mom cooking in the kitchen.

The sun leaking through my window made me squint as I slowly come to. I pathetically dragged myself out of bed, yawning as I stood up. Immediately I noticed that I was drenched in sweat.

I came to a halting stop, I didn’t know if was getting closer to surviving or further. The motivation to live that I had thirty seconds before had leaked out my pores and left in the raging wind. I stopped moving completely. I couldn’t see, I couldn’t hear, and I was bleeding out. Not knowing if anybody could here me I started yelling.
