The Reasoning
For many years she found pure enjoyment secretly seeking out the innocent, reaching into the depth of their happiness only to rip it from their existence. Her motive, to steal from them what for so long she had been missing from her life. Misery is brought upon all in the presence of her company. She can't help but feel she was born into that of a depraved world since the beginning of time, relinquished from the very hands that created it and angered by what he had done.
She has spent a lifetime filled with unhappiness and hoping that each new day would be her last. She is powerless to the iniquity that has overtaken her. A dark presence has consumed her soul and now she must separate herself from the living. Only to continue to stay would be perpetual punishment to her and for those who love her the most. She can no longer endure the pain she has carried for so long, searching with great effort for relief with no success.
She finds herself standing at the edge of a cliff watching the waves crash against the rocks below. Tormented by the voice that reminds her of the prosperity those will gain by her death. Looking up at the cloudless sky above a soft cool breeze brushes her face and for the first time she feels a sense of serenity. She closes her eyes and breathes in the salty sea air. Ghastly images of a broken life begin running trough her mind like a train speeding out of control about to jump track, killing that moment of peace. Frightened, she gasps for breath nearly losing her balance that almost sent her over.
She wraps her arms around her waist, doubled over with pain and crying uncontrollably. She screams out, "I can't take this anymore. Free me from this infinite hurt." She falls to her knees with exhaustion and skinning them up from rocks hidden by the grass. Seagulls perched on the cliff beside her begin to coo. "Shut the fuck up," she hollers out. She picks up one of the rocks throwing it, hitting one of them in the head and the others quickly fly off.
Emptied inside of all emotion she struggles to find the strength to stand to her feet. She looks down again at the water below, focusing her eyes on a rock that would be her target. Contemplating on what she was about to do but knowing in her heart it had to be done. She had to free her family from this torment and she had to free herself. She takes out the suicide letter she had written to them, reading it one last time.
"My Dearest Family,
Please understand why I have done this. Your life will go and prosper now that I have killed the evilness that once tried to devour it. A sense of relief you must feel now, finally you can breathe. During my life I caused you all great hurt and for that I am sorry. The pain became too unbearable and my reasoning for living was worthless. No grievance should anyone bare. There are no good times to remember and forgetting me should be easy. Even though there were not many...
