Pain. Veins on fire. Christina drew the last breath, and the last drop of blood was drained.
Her eyes fluttered. Cold floor. Death.
Nobody caught her. Her friends just watched as the last hues left her body and waited until the blood-crusted rubies sealed the two puncture wounds on her neck.
A clock struck midnight.
Her eyes fluttered.
She rose up without the need for breath. Her friends smiled at her.
The final moment was over; forever waited ahead.

80mg of Final Moments
I stand at the door one last time.
The walls remember everything—
the silence, the shame, the shadowed years.
But I am not who I was.
I whisper goodbye not with sorrow,
but with breath.
This house was my cage.
It was also my chrysalis.
I walk out lighter.
Not empty—free.
The lock clicks shut behind me,
not with grief,
but with gratitude.
I carry only what’s mine.
And ahead of me—
nothing but sky.
A story in a poem, a triolet. A melancholy one.
Final Thoughts
I would not want to wait so long
my tongue be silent, eyes too dim
to see the blackbirds, hear their song.
I would not want to linger long
once beauty fades, and shadows throng
the meadow where the swallow’s skim.
I’ll wait with you, it won’t be long,
till tongues fall silent, eyes grow dim.
