“Crestfallen”

By Margarette M. Aguilar

Curses from them filled my head. I’ve been hearing strange

voices lately and it’s causing my body to tremble. Their voices

are getting louder and louder as I told them to stop.

“Please stop! Please leave me alone!” My hands keeps on

shaking uncontrollably. I can’t stand this anymore, I felt forlorn.

Suddenly the voices stopped.

I felt a strong force pulling my body up on the rooftop of this tall

building. I take a glance at my reflection then smiled as I dive

down, tears came running.

I felt deeply pained as I reached the bottom. I saw nothingness.
