As the sun dropped from sight and the moon rose high into the darkness, a shiver went up my spine. The noose was damp in my palm from a late rain that afternoon. Though most would write a long letter to their loved ones, I scribbled a quick goodbye simply saying, “Don’t blame yourself, I love you.”
I got a foothold on the tree and pulled myself up quickly, sitting on the branch. I knotted the rope and threw the noose around my slender neck. I brought up my hand and felt the scratch of the rope and my collarbone protruding. It took months for the satisfaction of that collarbone but it wasn’t enough to seize this from happening.
I dropped my hands to my side and closed my eyes as birds sang in the night. I felt the cool breeze for the last time before I fell and the rope saved me from myself.
