YOC: Dark and Light in OD

Written for Year of Creativity

Prompt: Halfway between the darkness and the light.

Halfway between the darkness and the light. This phrase is used by some people to describe midwinter, as it’s the shortest day of the year, the point when it only gets lighter. But, if you think about it, the term should be used to describe either equinox, when it’s equal day and night.

I’m not using the phrase to describe either though. It pretty much describes me. I really don’t know what’s going on with me at the moment. Some days, I’m happy and carefree. The life and soul of the party, if I were ever invited to any.

Which I’m not. And I get it, I get why. There’s no predicting my mood, which kind of drunk I’m going to be. More often than not, I end up morose, slumped in the corner nursing my drink, refusing to talk to anyone, scaring my friends.

Sorry about the noises you might here as I’m narrating this. It’s going to serve as my note and I have to be prepared. I can’t continue with this, I really can’t. It’s far, far too draining on me personally. I’ve decided I need to end it. Then, I decided, if I’m going out, why not make an impact? I’ve picked my spot and my time. I’ll take a dozen or so people with me…
