<<cacheaudio "music1" "http://soundbible.com/mp3/Record_Player_Static-Mike_Koenig-2128770862.mp3">> <<audio "music1" stop>> <<audio "music1" loop play>> We all end up [[alone ->alone]].

I don't mean death by the way, With death you're sharing it with [[death ->Death]] itself, it's there to comfort you, to ease your final moments... [[...->meaning]]

A lonely entity to ease a soul's final moments. Not a friend nor a foe, just a neutral party to comfort,and sympathize if need be in the [[end ->alone]].

In our darkest moments we isolate ourselves, we stand alone to attempt to understand the abstract internal feelings. Be it the dark pit within our stomachs, the numbness of our thoughts, the tension within our joints. //[[You are alone->StoryStart]]//

<<cacheaudio "alarm" "http://soundbible.com/mp3/Alarm Clock-SoundBible.com-437257341.mp3">> <<audio "alarm" loop fadein >> You wake up to the sound of your alarm ringing. You stare into the darkness of the morning towards it, the clock's red LED screen alight, 6:00, It's as if the alarm is trying to disturb your, what feels like much needed sleep... [[Roll back over to sleep ->Sleep]] [[Throw something at it ->Throw]] [[Get out of bed to turn it off ->Get Up]]

<<audio "alarm" volume 0.75 fadeout>> Your body feels worn and tired, your thoughts numb. You choose to roll back into the comfort of your sleep and ignore the responsabilities of your day... [[Sleep ->Sleeping]]

You sluggishly attempt to throw a pillow toward the clock, ultimately failing to silence the screeching of the alarm. [[Sigh. ->WakeUp2]]

You push yourself up to sit, with what feels like all the energy you have. Your bones are like weights pulling you down. [[Turn off the alarm and head downstairs->Downstairs]]

Mind numbing darkness. [[It eases the pain. ->Wake Up]]

//"Get up!"// Your eyes snap open [[Get up and go downstairs->Downstairs]] [[Go back to sleep ->Sleep2]]

You fall back to your pillow staring at the red LED's. 6:05 They said you should try keep a routine... [[Continue to stare ->Stare]] [[Get out of bed to turn it off ->Get Up]]

6:10 [[Keep Staring ->Stare2]] [[Roll back over to sleep ->Sleep]] [[Get out of bed to turn it off ->Get Up]]

6:15 [[Continue to Stare->Stare3]]

[[W⃣ h⃣ y⃣ d⃣ i⃣ d⃣ y⃣ o⃣ u⃣ b⃣ o⃣ t⃣ h⃣ e⃣ r⃣ ?⃣?->why1]]

<<audio "alarm" stop>> You make an attempt of rubbing the sleep from your eyes to no avail as you walk down the stairs. Every step feeling even heavier than the last. [[Go into the Kitchen ->Kitchen]] [[Study the hall ->Hall]]

//"Whats the point..."// you ask yourself before turning back into your [[bed.->Sleeping2]]

Mind numbing darkness. [[It eases the pain. ->Wake Up2]]

You feel even more tired than before you fell asleep... [[Go downstairs->Downstairs]] [[Sleep ->Sleeping3]]

Why... <<audio "music1" volume 5>> [[W⃣ a⃣ k⃣ e⃣ u⃣ p⃣ ->Credit]] [[Ｗａｋｅｕｐ ->Credit]]

You expect your mother to be there, she's not... The room is dark. The cold floor causes the hair on your arm to stand. You shiver and rub them down. [[Make something to eat... ->Eat]] [[Head back up stairs to bed...->Sleep3]]

A plain hallway. Family photos are hung on the walls from when you were younger. [[Go into the kitchen->Kitchen]]

You head back to your room and the comfort of your bed. [["I can't..."->Sleeping4]]

You can barely stomach the food but it will keep you going... //You have to eat. That's what [[they->they]] told you.// [[Go back to your room and get dressed->Room]]

Why... <<audio "music1" volume 5>> [[Ｉｔ＇ｓｔｏｏｍｕｃｈ->stare6]] [[Ｉ＇ｍｗｅａｋ->stare6]]

Doctors, Nurses, Psychiatrists, Therapists, Family, Friends.... I wish they would [[stop->Eat]].

Your [[room->Bedroom]] seems brighter. The clock's LEDs still contrast the rooms darkness however, 7:00 You get dressed in some sweat pants and a hoodie... //Comfort over beauty right...?// [[Go out for a walk ->walk]] [[Sit on the bed ->SitBed]]

Plain white walls, wooden floor... Clothes litter the place. A desk and computer sit in the corner next to a clothes dresser. A [[sketch book->sketch]] and pencil case lays idle. [[...->Room]]

You finally leave the house in what seems like weeks... The morning air is crisp and your breaths mist as you exhale. It's overcast and the dark blackness of the night has begun to soften into a grey. Shoving your hands into your pockets for warmth you [[head out...->walking]]

//You use to draw... right? Before you were okay... You enjoyed it.// [[...->Bedroom]]

You feel tired still... //Going back to sleep wouldn't be too bad would it?// [[Stand back up->Room]] [[Lay down for a moment->Sleep4]]

You lay your head down onto the pillow and close your eyes... [[...->Sleeping5]]

[[...->Sleeping6]]

[[...->Sleeping7]]

// [[Ｗｈａｔａｒｅｙｏｕｄｏｉｎｇ？->stare5]] //

The crunching of your footsteps as you walk is the only sound to break the silence of the morning. //It's comforting though... You never really liked [[noise->noise]] to begin with...// continue to [[walk->walking2]]

Too much noise... It makes you panic... Like an attack on your senses, It's too much for you... // Maybe thats why you hate crowds...?// [[...->walking]]

<<audio "music1" volume 0.75 fadeout>> You see //her//, her back to you, standing at the end of the foot path. You decide to [[approach.->Smile]] //[[Hesitate->Hesitate]]//

You feel a warmth you once knew, //It made you feel safe...// [[Speak...->forher]]

[[Without a word or hesitation she hugs you tightly...->NotAlone]]

//[[You are not alone->Credit]]//

//Why... She was there for you... Why can't you ask for her help... She would understand or at least try too... [[I cant...->why2]] [[Call her name.->Smile]]//

//[[why....->why3]]//

// Just... please...? if not for you... [[do it for her->forher]]...? [[...->Imsorry]] //

// I-I'm sorry... I've been unwell...// She turns to you, her eyes are puffy from crying it seems, but she's smiling... [[she's relieved->moves]]...?

// Be that way then...// [[You don't deserve her or anyone... ->PreCredit]]

//You shouldn't have bothered.// [[...->Credit]]
