Suicide
A quiet young woman found dead, splattered across the sidewalk outside of her apartment. Her cause of death: suicide. No one could imagine why she would commit suicide. The police interviewed neighbors and witnesses. Everyone said that she seemed normal, but did anyone really know her? Every year hundreds of people choose to take their own lives. What do these acts accomplish except to start a chair of events and feelings that will devastate all who loved the person that committed suicide? First, the family, the friends, and the loved ones will experience some of the most destructive feelings a human can endure: shock, sadness, anger, confusion, blame, then guilt. This family must now begin a process of mourning that will never end. After the family accepts that this is not a dream, and that its little girl has died, the tears begin to pour. After they have cried till there are no tears left to shed, rage will fill their souls. They will curse the poor girl for abandoning them. Then there will be silence, very briefly.

She wasn't strong enough to play with the hand she was dealt, so she folded. Life is the only thing that a human being can truly call his own in this world. They will have to pay off all of her debt that she left them with. Now a new side of the deceased comes into view: selfishness. She didn't care about anyone anymore. The older sister was the perfect one: straight A's, president of the class, head cheerleader. Quite often her dad wasn't home and he certainly didn't have a strong relationship with his children. Her whole life she has told herself that she was not a good or "normal" human being because she didn't fit in with the people she wanted to and nothing ever seemed to go her way. That is only the emotional hardships that this young woman has placed on her family. Perhaps now they would find a different route to your daily destination. She just wanted to show the world that she was somebody by leaving anyone who ever cared for her a big mess. She took all of the "mess" and problems she had accumulated over the years and left it in a pile for the world to clean up.
