It was New Year's Eve, just as the clock was about to strike twelve.
I jumped.
The river was dark with a violent stream.
dying like this is fine even if i go to hell.
The river was dark with a violent stream.
The water was cold. Fireworks exploded overhead's , families cheering in the distance.
The ice-cold water burned at first, then strangely began to feel warm as I was dragged by the current.
Water flooded my nose, and my lungs felt like they were going to burst.
My Nineteenth birthday ended just like that.
Or so I thought.
Leon: "So bright… is this what the light at the end of the tunnel is?"
"Beep… beep… beep…"
Leon: "looks like my death won't be quiet"
…
Okay why is this taking so long
I open my eyes
Leon: "Where am I? Is this the afterworld?"
No…
A hospital room?
I came to my senses yet still dizzy.
I thought I died.
I looked to my arm and seen there was an iv stuck inside my arm and a beeping monitor in the corner next to me.
I can't even succeed in something like this I thought to myself.
The empty room was an expected sight but being here alive wasn't.
I turned and pressed the help button attached to the monitors cord.
Soon after the door opened, and a nurse walked in.
Nurse: "Ah, you're awake. Your results came back well. You just need to stay overnight, and you'll likely be discharged tomorrow."
Leon: "Results?"
Nurse: "You might still be hazy because of the medication. You were brought in for a few tests after an unexpected fall. The doctor wrote you a prescription for minor pain."
She handed me a paper.
As I stared at it, her words began to mix together. I stopped hearing anything at all.
A nauseating ringing filled my head as my eyes locked onto the blurred name printed on the page.
only the date visible.
24/08/2026
Wait…
Who am I?
