\chapter{Impatience and Curiosity}
|
|
|
|
They said I was discontent with life. I forgive them though. Looking
|
|
back on my life's ending, I weep. Everything wasted. How could they know
|
|
why? They thought I was happy with life. They thought I loved every
|
|
single one of them. They thought I was satisfied, they thought.
|
|
|
|
The death of my body was self-imposed. I loaded a pistol, and put it to
|
|
my head. Without any hesitation or fear, I pulled the trigger. My soul
|
|
then retreated from my physical into into a terrible world of nothing.
|
|
|
|
I do not know why I committed the act. My life was stable financially. I
|
|
was soon to be married to the beautiful maiden, Annabel Lee. We never
|
|
quarreled, so the cause of my death wasn't inspired by heartbreak. There
|
|
was no forethought or common sense involved. Curiosity. Is curiosity
|
|
with the after-death world an excuse? Curiosity wasn't the entire reason
|
|
for my self-imposed death. It was also impatience. I couldn't find
|
|
anything exciting. My assets had enabled me to travel. I had a nice
|
|
house. Enough money for all the financial things. I had plenty of
|
|
friends. Ones that cared for me, not only my money. I had my soon-to-be
|
|
wife. I had my family. I'd run out of imagination to create goals and
|
|
achievements. My brain then came across the thought of my only frontier:
|
|
death. Would you call me insane.
|
|
|
|
Now I just float here, in the darkness of purgatory, not doing
|
|
anything. For what is there to do? I have long given up trying to get
|
|
out. It is eternal punishment for taking away the most important thing
|
|
God gave humans. I only with I could die again\ldots
