The clouds pass over the rising moon as it is hounding the sun. The sun
falls back and losses its shimmer; those last few rays of light are
swallowed up by the hungry moon. The sky fades from its golden orange aura
to a diseased black. The stars try to break free from the enlighten hold,
but are still held back by ever glowing moon. A bleak landscape it was, a
few desolate shrubs and some broken trees, other then that, it was brown
grass. Why would I be staring into something as empty and depressing as
this? 'Cause I'm bored, that's why. Out of my dirtied window I always watch
the sun set and a new moon rise, it was just something else for me to do. I
close the shades and crawl into bed. It's about 8 now and the light in my
room has fled. I lay there for almost an hour before I realize that I need
to take a shower before I finally go to bed. I pull myself out from the
sheets and trudge toward the bathroom. I open the door and walk in. My eyes
rise from the stained tiles to the mirror. A stranger is looking at me.
He's laughing at me with those hollow, evil eyes. I turn away and grab my
razor. I begin to shave, a little to roughly apparently, as I already cut
myself. I put down the razor and finger the cut, wiping aside the escaping
blood. My eyes open wider for some reason...I don't even know why, they
just did. Then it hits, it was the sight of the blood. I try to wipe away
the red trickle, but it just makes it worse. A splash of water hits my face
as the blood begins to mingle with the water. Pink cheeks. Strange, the cut
doesn't bother me now, it doesn't even hurt. I pick up the razor again and
carefully pop out one of the blades. I place just below my elbow and slowly
drag it across my skin. It feels like a small stab but continues to a
steady slice. I lift up the razor to find nothing, just an indentation. A
few seconds pass until I see the blood finally appear. The blood grows
along the cut, into a bubble. The bubble grows and streaks my arm with a
deep crimson beauty. I don't know what I feel. I'm both afraid of what I'm
doing, but it feels good, so good. I lick the blade and wrap it up in a
tiny sheet of toilet paper. I gently place it in my pocket, almost
caressing it like a child. I jump into the shower and wash off the blood.
It still trickles down my arms and until the tan floor. I get out and let
the wounds close before throwing on a shirt to cover my new hobby. It calls
to me now...when I'm resting...when I'm thinking...I can't stop this
feeling.
