The wind brushed lightly against my upturned cheek, sprinkling a thin film of dust across my vision as I lay on the abandoned pavement. My eyes closed in despair as my fingers softly caressed the asphalt. In the distance I could hear the solemn cries of a bird- I told myself that it was chirping out a peaceful farewell. At that moment my mind went blank, and I knew what is must mean: That the cold, cruel embrace had come to claim me for all eternity. This was the end.
