That morning was unlike others , She had woken up with an usual feeling probably because of the smelly socks she had on .

Shovering the duvet aside to get the socks off her legs , she took notice of two legs with similar socks to hers dangling in front of her .

She felt waves of electric current pass through her as she raised her eyes to meet a human , most likely a woman , hanging with a rope tied to her neck which was fastened to the ceiling fan .

Flashes of horror swept through her face as she literally fainted and regained conciousness .

" What is happening " , she heard herself whispering . A huge feeling of fear engulfed her as she felt unable to scream .

Rising to her feet seemed stressful as every attempt she made to stand was futile .

Who was dead in her room and how came about her death .

Her legs trembled , she could feel cold ice been thrown at her from unknown directions . Every thing seemed unreal to her .

"How did it happen ".

The previous night had been normal , with her friends partying and drinking in an attempt to wash away her depression . She was grateful to them because for a moment , she felt , she had no problems .

But Alas! .

The minute her friends were gone , her old self wore itself on her forcefully .

But that was no answer to her questions .

Who was it that was dead in her room . She had to find out .

Crawling to face the body , she felt her self burning in hot coal of fear .

Lot of questions found itself in her head . " Was she dreaming ? "

Pausing for a moment , she pinch herself to return to reality .

But this was reality .

There was a body in her room .

Drenched in confusion , she continued crawling . Drawing out her shivering hands she turned the body to meet a nightmare that threw her off balance .

There and then , memories came rushing .


The dangling body on her ceiling who was a victim of sucide was no other person but her ! .

It made sense to her now .


After the partying with friends , she was left alone and depressed . The flashes of her son's death took advantage of her .

He was only five and innocent .

The incident was still fresh in her mind . She still remembered how that trailer had smashed her only son away from her . Remembering his spilled blood on the road side have her enough reasons to not live again .

It was too much to bear !

It was all clear to her now , she had committed sucide the previous night in her depression .


But


" Wasn't she suppose to be dead ? "

" Why was still there staring at her flesh ? "

" Where was hell with it's burning sting ? "

" Where was her son in death ? "

" Why did she feel alive ? "

" Why ? Wasn't death the end of pain ? " .

All these she wondered .

Walking closer and staring at her body , the truth came blaring at her face and then , she realized that , THERE WAS NO PAIN , SHE WAS THE PAIN .


The End .

A snap back to reality
Having to face death's totality
She would have preferred it be hers
But fate had other plans

She had laid him to rest
Not on her back or lap
Will those mangled body find rest?

He was never going to be five
Nor do away with his baby fats
That truck made sure of that
When it took a walk over her baby boy

Tears won't come no more
As she's shed all she has
She can't smile no more
Only the living do that

She's still in her room
As empty as she felt
Her world was gone
She had laid her heart with him
