Man, I didn't proof read my story thoroughly. I feel like such a failure.

Here's something. A journal entry tale

Journal entry #1

I don't remember much about what happened before now. So I decided write my thoughts and feelings in a journal to make sure I won't forget. I keep wondering why she is here... and also why she is lying on the floor, dead. The last thing I remember was receiving a message on my phone. I don't know who sent the message, what the message said, or even where my phone is. I don't even know where I am? I think I am at my house. Wait, do I have a house? Well, it's just me and her that are here So I am going to guess that this is my home. But, I still can't for the life of me (no pun intended) figure out who this woman is and what the circumstances were that led to her death. All I know is that I have a phenomenal headache. I hope that isn't a bad thing. Right now, I'm too afraid to go near her but she looks like she has a lot of red around her neck, which makes me wonder sort of accident she must've had? If it was an accident. No, I'm pretty sure it was an accident. To, be honest I don't know what is preventing me from leaving. I guess it is because I just... I don't know. I just feel connected to this woman, whoever she is, I mean was.

Journal entry #2

The stench is starting to get real bad, and I ran out of things to mask it. Not to mention I'm starting to run low on things to eat. Not that I have eaten much these past few days, anyways. It seems that most of her hair has fallen out. Her eyes have now completely sunk down to the bottom, which means I should probably get them out of the sink. This might be a good time to leave. But, you know what? I don't think I'm going to. I can't leave her. I feel like she needs me. Man, I wish I knew more about her. I stared at her most of today. She has short, blonde hair... I think. She has brown eyes, of that I'm sure. Small frame, or at least it is now. I failed to notice earlier that she has a tattoo on her... um... on her rear. It looks kind of like a butterfly. You know what, I just can't tell anymore. One last thing that I found, a ring. I took it off her finger. I hope she doesn't mind. I looked closely and attentively at it. I saw the phrase "El amor como el agua, siempre fluyendo.". I have no idea what it means, I don't know any French, or Spanish, or whatever language that is. What I do know, is that despite all of this, I will stay with her. Because that is the kind of guy I am.

Journal Entry #3

I can't get this dang ringing out of my head. Makes me wish I was dead too so I didn't have to hear it incessantly. Right now, I am on my last breakfast bowl. After that, I will have nothing left to eat but I don't really care about that. That's another perk of being dead, I wouldn't have to worry about stuff like eating. Speaking of, Jessica (that is what I'm calling her) has now completely decayed. I am so proud of her. She has finally ridded herself of all the things that would inevitably weigh her down like flesh and blood and I must say, she looks just as beautiful now as she did weeks ago. It kind of makes me somewhat excited for the day that I die, myself. Just so I can see how she looks in the after life. I just know she has gone too a wonderful place. I hope against hope that I can go there too.

Journal Entry #4

I have a feeling that this will be my last journal entry. There has been no food to eat for days and I just feel so weak. But she is giving me enough strength to finish this entry. I have one more bit of good news. I found out that the ringing wasn't in my head. It was my phone! Yeah, I found it. The ringing was from my alarm. I guess I forgot to turn it off, heh. Oh, now I remember. I got a text message from someone. Let's see who it's from. Wait, what? This message, it's from Jessica. What would it say.

Im sorry Brandon Im just can't luv you anymore. I can't help you anymore because you are not willing to help yourself. I'm stopping by to give it back.

This isn't right! Jessica would never say something like this and what does it mean when it says "give it back"? Give what back!? No this couldn't have been her. Someone must've got on her phone and felt like pulling a prank. Let me see if there is any other messages from her. Ha! here is one from a few months ago.

Im so happy I get to spend the rst of my life with u. we might have our problems but I just know we can push through them and you know why, baby. Bcuz our love is like water. It is always flowing

There. Now that sounds like my Jessica.

So I guess this is it. This is where I leave this lifetime for another. Another lifetime where I can see her. Hopefully with fresh eyes because right now, my eyes are so tired. I'm getting so tired. I'm hearing loud wails of sirens outside my house. But they don't bother me. Because soon I won't be able to hear them anymore. All I will hear is the sound of death and I sure do wish for it to be a soothing sound. l leave you with something that my soul mate, Jessica said.

Love is like water, It is always flowing.
