So I guess this is it...SENT 7:43 PM

I'm sitting here on the sofa just waiting for something to happen, pretending that everything's the way it was before...I mean, I fed the fucking fish. It doesn't even realize it's not going to exist in about fifteen minutes, but I still gave it those shitty little sprinkles that stick to your fingers.SENT 7:44 PM

I don't even know if this is still your number, but they're telling everyone to make your peace now and I don't really have anyone else. You're all I've ever had. Kinda sad when you think about it...SENT 7:45 PM

I've been hearing gun shots all afternoon...I think the neighbors killed themselves. You remember sneaking into their yard and skinny dipping in their pool? They had that kid that grew up to be a real asshole.SENT 7:46 PM

I think i'm going to go over there and check. Maybe I'll see someone I know. I don't know. I've got to do something. It sounds like New Years outside. I wish I knew where to find you.SENT 7:46 PM

It's crazy out there. I double checked the neighbors to be sure and sure as shit...but I don't want to think about that now. They left their cat alive. It looked terrified, so I took it home. Better than the shitty goldfish to keep me company. I hope wherever you are, this finds you and you're ok. Someplace safe.SENT 7:51 PM

I don't want to die alone...SENT 7:52 PM

Please write me. Let me know you're ok. I just want someone to talk to.SENT 7:53 PM

I was thinking about going back to the neighbors house and getting his gun, but I don't think I could do that. This fucking cat is sitting on my lap just purring away. It has no idea how goddamned cruel life is. I think I'm ok now. In a few more minutes, I won't care either way. I guess I was just hoping to hear something from you. Anything...My power's flickering on and off so I have no idea how much longer I'll have. Maybe I'll see you wherever we end up next? We can find a cafe somewhere and talk about cats. I'm going to name this fucker on my lap Cheese. He looks like the type of cat that likes cheese. I miss your smile...SENT 7:55 PM
