Nothing to Lose

Prologue

Night.

A signal of endings and beginnings.

The end of the light and the harbinger of the coming morn.

'She used to love the night.'

I thought as I stared off into the starry sky,and then down to the busy street below. My heart pounded within my chest and my knees shook. I wanted this. I was pretty sure but, I was so scared. Tears welled up as I looked at the photograph in my hand. I remember being angry, sad and lost all the same time.

I remember wanting to end it.

In a moment of rage I turned my gaze to the heavens, I guess in some attempt to address a greater celestial being, and I screamed for I could,

"WHY?!"

Such a simple question, yet, and not surprisingly, it would go unanswered. I guess what ever, so called, greater force out there, doesn't feel the need to answer for it's deeds.

Yet, I wanted...I needed an answer.

And something more.
