||As promised, Dorian, the thing you wanted me to write. “There is a leap of fate with any conclusion the mind can conceive.” ─H. Mortara I sat upon a bench in the park, hearing every single leaf that fell on the ground. The wind blew so hard that it messed up my hair. The blossoms on top of the trees enveloped to flowers before I saw the bees arrive in utter silence. My hands were placed upon my lap when I studied the people that kept passing me by. I had seen some twice, maybe several times. I couldn’t recognize it very clearly but after all it did not matter. My mind was filled with thoughts that were divided in categories to keep me from becoming confused and reaching insanity at its worst. There were some awards you should not mix because it would become lethal for my own body; my organs would explode or burn down to ashes and I would eventually die a suffocating yet horrible death. That thought had never been very pleasing for me to think about. Though that was until a stranger came along and introduced himself. “Good morning, miss.” His voice sounded smooth, yet something wasn’t right. He was dressed up in a tight jeans and a blouse that matched it perfectly. Though his shoes seemed to be damaged, which made me think that he might have stolen the clothes for no actual reason. Something triggered my attention, which also warned me to be careful. But I couldn’t contain myself from asking. “Is there something you need, sir?” I furrowed my eyebrows while I awaited his reply, which made me a bit nervous, for I was unaware of what God had left aside for me. There was something, I could not name but it did draw my attention more with every second that passed by. “I need to ask you a favour,” The male murmured slowly, audible enough for me to hear what he meant. Somehow it still remained a mystery, as I did not know what the favour was or would be. “What d-d..” I wanted to ask him; yet he gave me no chance to reply or reflect another question at him. “Shhh.. Calm down.” The whisper echoed in my ear when he spoke. “Just take a leap of Fate with me.” He pronounced each word carefully, lightly, hoping I wouldn’t reject his offer which seemed to also be a sacrifice. I shivered at his suggestion, causing many emotions to unleash from the closed doors they were held within. Confusion. Anger. Pleasure. Joy. Aggravation. Despise. Those were my biggest emotions locked in the darkest chambers of my heart. Away from the outside world so they could not do any more damage than it already had. I never really wanted to show any kind of emotion because I knew it would have an effect on everything around me. It could tear me down or help me reach the heavens above. Though nothing had seemed to satisfy me all these, days, except for this one request I could not stop thinking about. “A leap of Fate?” I asked myself. “Why wouldn’t I do it? What do I have to lose?” At some point, I wanted to just say yes - jump into the unknown; the dark world; the one thing we cannot predict nor see. On the other hand, I wanted to lock my emotions again, and go back to the life I used to live, the one I’m living right now. Everything seemed to be frozen around me, nothing was breathing or talking. It felt like the earth had stopped moving. Somehow I couldn’t think of myself living that life ever again, yet it was the only life I ever knew. What would I do next? Jump in front of a train? Have fun? perhaps I should take a leap of Fate? Confusion made my head spin. Nothing was clear for me anymore. I became indecisive.
