Selene, My Moon
When I'm alone, I always think of you. How you shimmer reminds me that life is worth living for.

To lose the sun will only result to the destruction of the world.

It's 3 AM and I still can't sleep. Adjusting the light, turning the fan off, whatever I do, I just can't slumber. Even staying up with phone on hand, I cannot close my eyes to see the wonderland.

I shouldn't have brought you to the beach. Only then you wouldn't have been stung by a jellyfish. Who could've thought a jellyfish as small as a thumb tack can be this deadly. Now, I can't help but blame myself for your passing.

Please forgive me.

I scroll through my news feed hoping to find something interesting if I'm gonna stay awake all night again. The pets and memes do no good at this time. My cat is judging me for my big black eye bags.

It's already 5 AM. I might as well get some breakfast.

I take the food I find bitter as my parents worry about my health. They console me many times and reassure me that I'm not to blame of my sister's death.

But it is my fault. I wanted her to have the best time of her life before I go to university, yet I brought her to her own doom. She couldn't even tell her last words to us.

It's night once again and I still can't sleep. Even all the activities at school couldn't weaken me or the intake of much food weigh me. Fortunately, I fell asleep a few hours later.

An offical phone alert wakes me up at three in the morning. I impatiently grab my phone and check the message.

It says, "Do not look at the moon."

I have hundreds of these...
