Debut Albums and Bold Cracked Letters
Day 1
Yesterday I was told I had one week to live, which means today I have 6. Why only 6 more days? Because I have a tumor the size of a golf ball on the left side of my brain and it’s ready to pop like a white zit on an oily teenager’s forehead.
For the past 24 hours I’ve been moping around the lonely halls of my prehistoric home in a torn pink, scruffy robe and dark blue muddy slippers. I haven’t eaten much but it seems like that whatever I do eat ends up on me not in me. I’m depressed. Why? My time is up and the worst part is I know about it. Normal people have an unexpected death but not me, I know when I’m going to die and that terrifies me. It’s not the fact that I’m going to die that scares me, it’s the fact that I don’t know what’s going to happen in the afterlife.
Day 2-5 I was never much of a church goer, probably because the old lady, with the white hair and peach fuzz above her lip, always “fainted” when the pastor walked by, sending the rest of the congregation into a fall. I fainted not because of the Holy Ghost but because everyone else did. So what did that mean for me? Was I going to be condemned to hell for all eternity for lying? For pretending to believe? Or will it just be black with nothingness? The thoughts of my mysterious afterlife lingered in my head for 4 days, which leaves me with 2 left.
I sat and I watched the window, I watched life grow outside and thought of how much I would miss the green leaves turning orange, red, and brown in the month of September and how the fall trickled into the cold mist of the winter.
Day 6 I woke up remembering I had one day left, one day. I sat up out of my death smelling lazy boy and realized that I couldn’t stay cooped up in my grey, 4 walled home all day, I had to get out.
I stepped out the house for the first time in the past 6 days. I wore the same old robe splattered with my dinner from the night before. I stuck one raggedy blue slipper out the door at a time and climbed out into

    I woke up, screaming in terror from a nightmare about what had happened during those terrible couple of years when the virus began to kill, and had left me all alone after the rest of my family had passed. The survivors had grouped together and we were currently living in an abandoned house, trying to stay away from the rotting smell of the dead bodies scattered around the nation.…

    I don’t even like to consider the fact that one day I will die. Death is such an unknown. We all hope to live a long, high quality, and healthy life, but we don’t consider the alternative. We don’t talk to our family and fill out advance directives because we don’t want to face death. We don’t want to have difficult conversations, even though we all know that someday we will die.…

    Flecks of sunlight would flutter through the branches, playing peekaboo before hiding again. The warmth of a summer day was like a blanket in winter and I fell in love with the way the comforting heat made me feel. It was inescapable. I felt nothing but peace during those walks. Often I’d lay my back upon the hard…

    One day when he was snoring, I could no long tolerate being inside. As quiet as a mouse, I snuck out of the attic and inched down the stairs. Outside, I had to squeeze my eyes shut; I was blinded by the sunlight as it had been so long since I'd been outdoors. When I could see, I started walking. I just kept walking, loving the feeling of movement in my legs and how I was swinging my arms.…

    I grabbed the final bale off the last hay rack of the day and threw it over the side, towards where my brothers were standing. I peel the wet plaid shirt off my arms and back. I flip it around till I find a dry spot on the shirt, which I then use to wipe the sweat from my face. I pull it away and look at it. It was stained with a long, hot, day’s…

    With my family in front, I stepped onto the tile entryway without taking off my shoes. My soles echoed subtly and strangely in the cavernous, open concept and my soul slowly deflated into the empty space. Sundry clutter was pushed into a corner, backed by boxes holding household items that I wouldn’t miss until they are at the back of the one-car garage and crying to be of assistance. Cautiously, I gave myself a brief tour of the place that I once was able to walk through with my eyes closed, albeit with a couple trips here and there. Though there wasn’t much to trip over there’s still a good deal to cleaned before we could officially call this our old place. I slide open my closet door to find not clothes, but bags and crates and more boxes. Defeated at the sight of so much to still pack, as well as tired, I retreated to where my bed once stood. I began to rebuild my personal space again, and soon I was leaning on my headboard with a warm comforter as a cushion, taking a glance out my window instead of taking a catnap on the cold hardwood floor. The sheer curtains rippled in the cool summer evening breeze, brushing against my skin like a kind ghost and I realized that the real ghost was me. The curtains still hung in the room as the last trace of my presence, but they did not move as I hoped. I had no time to spend in the past, and so I dolefully pull myself out from the spiritual afterlife. I begin to do my duties as to not drag out the…

    I made myself breakfast in bed. I added salt and pepper to my eggs and used my toast to create a cheese and bacon sandwich. I squeezed the juice, the life from a grapefruit into a glass. I scraped the charred remains from the frying pan and rinsed the red substance off the counter. I washed the dishes and folded the towels.…

    When I woke up, I found myself in the middle of a lonely desert. There were no buildings, people or plants. My throat burned because I was so thirsty. After finding a broken satellite dish, I figured out that the houses had to be somewhere under the sand. I dogged down beside it and it wasn’t too long until I found the top of the roof. I managed to break one of the windows and climb down into the house. Luckily, I found a lot of water bottles and some food that still looked kind of edible.…
