Swerve

Light snow on cold weather ❄️🏙

As we go into the apartment, the fat corgi, Mason gets all excited because we haven’t seen him all day. He’s jumping and licking and licking and jumping. To make it cozy in here I turn on the heater to 70° F. After a long day, I take off my shoes and put on my good ‘ole sweatpants to get comfortable. I go to the sink, fill it up with water. It’s been a while since the plant has gotten any water so I head to the sink, grab a cup, and fill it up with water. I poured the water on my big lovely plant that my mom gave me right before she passed away.

“Hey I’m going to yoga right now, it’ll end in like an hour. I’ll leave the keys with you in case Mason needs to go out and pee” In response, I say “Okay! I’ll be here chilling and taking care of Mason”. “Ok babe, just pay attention to your phone, I’ll let you know when I’m downstairs”. She tells me. I give her a kiss and tell her that I’ll see her later.

I open the door for her and close it as she leaves. I turn around and Mason is looking at me with a big smile on his face. I grab his toy, which is a rubber rainbowed monkey. I throw it across the hall, he starts running and his body is shaking and looks like a little train. I play catch with Mason a few more times and now he’s exhausted. I pick up his bowl, turn on the sink again and give thirsty Mason some water. I get into bed to use my computer and after five minutes Mason is barking at me because he wants to get on the bed as well. He can’t get up himself so I get up, and as I lift him up, it feels like I’m lifting a log. I get in the bed, he runs over to me and lay right next to me and starts snoring. I shut down the computer and I start thinking about how adorable Mason looks. All of a sudden I wake up “Oh shit!” I look at my phone and have 27 missed calls and 14 text messages.

I call my girlfriend right back and the second I answer I hear “ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU? YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING RIGHT.” “I’m so sorry I fell asleep. I’ll be downstairs as soon as I can” I respond. I get up quickly, and grab the keys! I rush down the hall barefoot and take the elevator. I look at her and I see a pressure cooker about to explode. “I WAITED FOR 2 HOURS OUTSIDE IN THE SNOW! 2!” I empathize and apologize again. I try to calm her down by hugging her but she angrily crosses her arms and looks at the button in the elevator that’s next to me signaling to push it.

As I’m shaking, I go try to press button six but accidentally press button five. “OH MY GOD” she starts erupting. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry” I repeat. She looks at the door instead of making eye contact with me. I try to not talk to her as before she erupts and we eventually go into the apartment.

As I take off my sweater to hang it and reach, I accidentally cover her thousand dollars statue that’s on the little desk next to the hanger with my sweater. The statue falls over and shatters in pieces... I feel my blood cold and I hear nothing but silence. Without saying anything I slowly look at her. She looks at me without saying anything thinking she’s going to explode. But her face is just written killer mode all over. She goes to the kitchen, grabs a knife and grabs the lovely plant that my mother gave me and before I even react she quickly grabs the plant by its leave, and slashes the plant like a machete into pieces. I look at her lovely fat dog that’s been barking, open the balcony door and throw him out the balcony. I look back and she’s running at me with her knife. I make eye contact with her and fuck it...I jump off the balcony as well.

As I’m falling 16 stories deep every second is slow. Thoughts are going through my head...“There’s no point in living anymore”, “Fuck her”, “I wish I didn’t throw Mason that poor dog”. As I’m falling I look back and I see her in the air as well with her knife.

The millisecond I hit the floor I don’t feel anything. All I see is a big white light. In the middle of that light, I see the angel of oblivion. I’m a baby and I see other babies getting touched by the angel of oblivion on the lips.

As I’m wandering around I see a beautiful angel approaching me, sticks her hand out and points with her finger. She places her finger in the middle of my lips leaving a vertical line in the middle of my lips. I look at this angel and look at other babies. I glance at my right and one of the babies I see is my girlfriend.
