“Celestial night
Come to me and close my eyes
Give me hopes and dreams”
Cars—some with their high beams on—passed swiftly by the young teenage girl as she walked along the side of the road. Pitch black outside and with no light source other than the passing cars, still the girl walked as if fate was showing her the path she must take.
“I hate you all!” she yelled out as if to send a message to those she came to despise throughout the short fifteen years of her life. “Nothing is worth it anymore. Is there anything you all want to say to me? No, nothing? Fine. You will all regret it.”
Looking up at the stars as if to calm herself, she said in a much lighter tone, “At least there is hope. I see it within you, celestial body of masses oh so far away, spread about within the cosmos. How—”
She was interrupted by the honk of a car horn and by a splash of water from the ground. She screamed, and started running towards the car. She knew she would not catch up, but her thoughts had a different path.
After walking a few more miles along the road, she took a path through the forest, as if to avoid all hints of society. Even darker in the forest, she continued to march through brush, bramble, and thorns. Pricked a few times, and blood flowing down her arms and legs, she still did not care and just kept on moving. She knew her path, and that was the only thing on her mind.
In time—her digital watch said two in the morning—she made it. The cliff awaited her—has been awaiting her for quite some time; she had also been awaiting it. The synchronization between the two entities couldn’t be any more solid than a husband and wife on the first day of marriage.
