I'm the worst person ever. I can't stop thinking about what I did. Why? What the darn drove me to this point of desperation? I can't understand it. I guess I better tell you about me before my time runs out.
I'm six foot three and but no way am I well built. I guess I'm what you call society skinny. I love that expression; I used it on myspace as my favourite quote. I read it in a vogue, not that I would have bought it; I picked it up in the office one day. Anyway, I have blue eyes and short black hair. Its not well kept, and I don't have an immense amount of style. Well I don't have any really. That's beside the point, I have a brain, and I'm bright to. SO why in Gods' name did I do it? Am I really that pathetic?
I guess it was the fact that no one ever really gave me any attention. I used the office net to talk online all day long and I got loads of attention on the net. My girlfriend and I spoke everyday for hours. Unfortunately she lived four hundred miles away and I haven't actually seen her. She sent me a very accurate description of herself. She has a modelling career but nothing gets down here and I keep missing her T.V adverts. She keeps trying to send a picture but she says her digital camera is broken. I sent her a new one but it got lost in the post.
I guess I did it as a cry for help. I all I had left was desperation and a hint of madness.
I will always remember when I asked a cop for directions and he just ignored me. Completely. Didn't even give me a second glance. I was so stressed I had to have a cigarette. The smoke hurt my throat and I felt kind of stupid. Standing in my George suit with puke on my shoes.
One day I would just love to be noticed. That would be brilliant. Just for some to say,
"Hey Mike, how you doing'?"
"I'm great Joe, want to go for a beer tonight?"
"Always with you pal!"
Wow. That would make my day. I don't think I could hide the excitement. I never tried though. I kept getting deeper and deeper into this depression. Probably why I did it.
I wish I hadn't. On the other hand everyone knows my name. Well now they do anyway, but for all the wrong reasons.
My times nearly up. I can feel the poison rushing through my body. The priest looks down on me as the tip of the needle is removed from arm.
Fame is a tempting prize. I sacrificed my life, and the life of the pregnant women for the eternal memory of my name. The woman was my sacrifice and the train was my tool. Whoever thought a simple push could do so much?
My name will not be forgotten. Never will people ignore the quiet one. My name shan't be forgotten. My name?? What is my name? The poison is coming the sweet release into eternal glory.
Death is coming. I am welcomed with open arms and my grin is wide. My name will be remembered.

Auto -2 because it's Thursday.
-------------------------
Just following the trend. God i know you wish that your opinions matterd in real life. I know thats hard, but how about this? You evaluate work on its literary value? Not because you want to vent your anger on someone in the real world but have balls the size of acorns, and feel the best thing to do is slag of people trying to write who you will never meet. I don't care if i suck, thats fine, i dont mind. It's good to be critisised as long as its constructive. I have no objection to you or your work, i even +2 some of it. I -2 one piece because i didn't enjoy it at all. I at least read it in context. My objection? Narrow minded arseholse who can't see past their own over inflated egos, and sense of self worth who get kicks out of -2 for no good reason.

I just can't understand why someone would -2 something just because of a website. Just seems bizarre to me on a literary website.

Auto -2 for admitting that you're a MySpace loser.
-------------------
Hey shlongy....do you know what a story is? Let me explain it can be fictional or not. Thats pretty much it. I am pretty sure you can tell this is fictional. Like the character etc. Yeah? SO GUESS WHAT THE FACT THAT HE USES MYSPACE DOESNT MEAN I DO YOU FUCKING PRICK. Also that -2 is pointless just for the fact that myspace is refrenced once and i refrence it so show how lame he is. So please refrain from judging a story just because it says myspace. Whats that Animal Farm has animals in it?! I hate animals, better -2 it. Dick.
