about this story
He walks over to find my file once more and comes back with the look of disappointment on his face. I don't think he has the patience to question me again. "You have no files, records, nothing. You are nobody. You don't exist." He says bitterly. "Who are you?" He asked both sourly and loudly. I shrugged and replied "As you said, I am no one." There was a pause "May I go now?" He was about to blow a fuse. I simply stood up and left. Not that people noticed or cared. As they said, I am no one. I walked down the dark tunnel hardly able to see my dirty bare feet. 'Maybe I should give myself a name.' I think to myself. 'No. Nobody would care who I am. They will always refer to me as that mad, dirty, lost girl.' I don't think they have the right to judge me. They don't know me. But as they judge me, I remain as they say, no one. I look out on the lake wondering how cold it is. Do i want to know how cold it is. Maybe the water will take away the pain. Everyone just glances over at me. Nobody cares about the no one. I simply walk off the cliff. When I hit the water it's piercing cold. I like the cold. I open my eyes, all I see is black. 'The black has swallowed me' I think. I surface. Maybe I am a little mad. I did just jump. I start to walk across a bridge. It has a pretty design on the side gates. The metal was cold and rough as I ran my hand across it. People now notice me. The no one. They start to stare and point. I close my eyes hoping that the people will go away. Why do they care so much about what I am doing. They won't remember me. They say I am no one, then why do they pay so much attention to me. With my eyes still closed I start to feel like I'm falling. I open my eyes to see what was going on. I'm not in the dull gray down any more. No one is around me. It's bright and colorful. There is flowers surrounding me. Am I asleep? I'm I dead? 'Maybe this is my happy ending.' I start to think, but then my eyes fly open. I am alone once again. In a dark room with a small bed. That's all in the room other than me. 'Of coarse that place was a dream.' I think sadly. No one gets their happy ending. You think this can't be the end, but I am as they said, No one. I don't get an ending. No one is what I am known as, and my ending nothing.
