Beschreibung

This title handles many questions that, often times, are very difficult to answer. These questions often involve feelings so dark in nature that we try to push them away from ourselves as far as we can, only to find ourselves entwined in the chaos that we ourselves have sown. Embracing that chaos can yield any results, positive as well as negative in nature. The story itself tackles the topic of a young adult male struggling with unrequited love after the end of a short relationship trying to keep his life - and his thoughts - together while slowly facing the overwhelming pressure that his feelings weigh upon him. Whenever fates intertwine, tears are to be shed.

Chapter I

The first thing I did that morning was to take a cold shower. For what I was to do, I had to get a clear head - not even a stutter would be allowed at a critical moment just as this. The cold water pouring down on me in such an early hour made me glad and almost happy, as I could bring my senses into position for what was about to happen.

After a few minutes of sweet silence I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, just barely seeing myself in the mirror not too far away from the shower. To be genuine, I planned out this day. No work I had to clock in for today, no family, no friends calling out for me.

An array of different feelings hit me as I was getting myself ready. Perhaps ready to finally get the peace I wanted. But was it really peace? Perhaps even more, or so I thought. I decided to keep it simple and chose a pair of blue jeans and a buttoned, black shirt with sleeves. I spared myself from knotting a tie because I knew deep down that I probably wouldn’t even be able to do that with my hands shaking from the avalanche of feelings pouring down upon me. Just as ever slight as a gust of wind I went through my flat, collecting a few things I needed. A spray of perfume here and there and I stood in front of my mirror once again. Freshly groomed and with my hair cut, I deeply inhaled, just to exhale slowly. My hands were still cold, my black watch rested on my wrist - just where it should be. I decided to put on my black coat as well as a scarf, however I wore it open. Both ends were hanging barely below my waist, one of them clearly showing the manufacturer’s brand to the outer side.

Only checking my wrists one more time and examining the small, anthracite-colored rose marks just about the buttons on my wrist, I went away from the mirror and - in the same process - grabbed my car keys. I needed to get out of here; and I needed to do that right now.

Slyly inhaling the cold morning air of a chilly winter, I shivered once more. By god, was I afraid. The dark leather shoes I was wearing clacked with every step I took on the cold stone surrounding me while I - quicker than usual - inhaled and exhaled the air that was growing colder by the second. After a few steps, I left behind the building I was living in; well, at least for now. It was the last safe place I saw for myself in this world, a place where I was alone with everything I held inside.

I stood at the signal light, looking down the road and straight over to my car that was standing just a few feet away from me. The signal light turned green and once again I pushed through. With clacking steps I took out my car keys and opened the locks of the car by remote control. As it was still early and deep within the winter days, it was still dark out.
