Happy End


Leila’s life has always been a struggle. She always got bantered, hated and excluded as a kid. Her parents loved her older brother more than anyone and forgot about her. Her difficult childhood left hefty marks inside her heart. Many years later her parents divorced and the brother died in a car crash. Leila had mastered her life and organized a family with her great love of a lifetime.
It was an ordinary day when her phone rang. The police informed her that both her husband and two year old child died during a brutal robbery at the next grocery store. Hearing this Leila’s world began to crumble. She sank to her knees and began to cry. All that kept her on her feet had been taken away.
Trembling in anger and completely distraught she wandered around in the so painfully empty and quiet flat. She opened the door to the balcony, climbed on the front as tears were rushing down her beautiful face. Screaming she looked down to only see a few ant-like persons walking by her apartment complex.
A man from the opposite site of the street saw her standing there, he desperately tried to shout and knock against the window, but nothing except a hollow echo reached the cold faces of the ever so listening steel and stone monsters that won’t twitch with a single of their cold muscles. The skyscrapers will not rescue the young lady from the 31st floor – so the lawyer picked up the phone and dialed 9-1-1.
Millenia, Centuries, Decades, Years, Months, Days, Hours, Seconds … The time for the rescuing teams of the fire brigade to arrive seemed mere endless. And she, the anchorless woman found herself standing there, almost frozen she stared into the deep of the grey asphalt jungle. Her heartbeat and breathing slowed down. The fresh morning air let her exhaled air look like little clouds, disappearing into nothingness. Just like her, who she had nothing left but the desire to escape this unfair world.

She almost became a part of the building, just her breathing and warmth distinguished her from the gargoyles sitting over her head. Those creatures were looking down on her, making ghastly antics. She could clearly see them sitting there on the opposite building’s roof, making fun of her, just like the children in the past did.
The world seemed to hush. There was nothing else keeping her from not letting go, she pushed her cold back away from the stone. She closed her eyes and fell forward.
She couldn’t hear a thing so she didn’t notice the sirens, the people shouting on the ground, or the police crushing the front door. Just in the second she let go a man grabbed her around the chest.
After this incident she needed time, a lot of time to get over the anger and dolorousness.
Eventually she met a nice guy. She started dating him and adoring him. After a few weeks they were finally about to kiss – but then strong wind emerged.
Her hair began to flutter in the wind and loud screams were perceivable. But then everything turned silent as the last time her beautiful, dark brown hair fell upon her face. The impact on the ground immediately killed her. No one came to save her, she was already dead inside. Her brain tricked her in the last few moments she had lived, or maybe she just wanted to die with a smile on her face.
At least she is with her beloved ones, now and forever.
