Death Wish

I don’t want to live anymore—but death keeps rejecting me. Every bullet stalls mid-air, every fall slows before impact, every flame parts around my skin like it’s afraid. The doctors say I’m broken. The government says I’m a weapon. The cult on the rooftops says I’m the Harbinger of End Times. Maybe they’re all right. But when the pain becomes too much, and I finally find a way to die… what happens if I succeed?

Death Wish

I don’t want to live anymore—but death keeps rejecting me. Every bullet stalls mid-air, every fall slows before impact, every flame parts around my skin like it’s afraid. The doctors say I’m broken. The government says I’m a weapon. The cult on the rooftops says I’m the Harbinger of End Times. Maybe they’re all right. But when the pain becomes too much, and I finally find a way to die… what happens if I succeed?

I slit my wrists in the bathtub and watched the water turn black, not red. The cuts sealed before the blood could spill. Again.\n\nI screamed and smashed the mirror, glass slicing my face—but the wounds vanished as fast as they formed. My reflection stared back, unharmed, smiling with teeth too sharp.\n\nThat’s when the knock came. Three slow raps. Then a voice: 'We know what you are. And we know how much you want to stop.'\n\nI stood there, trembling, covered in phantom blood. They were offering what I’d been begging for. But something in their tone made me wonder—what if death isn’t the end they’re promising, but a beginning I can’t survive?
