DEAD AIR

Art by MOrtiz IG: _miiart_
            Had Joey known it took this long to die from a slit wrist, maybe he would have brought a book to the tub.

            Or, at the very least, his cellphone. So he could play a couple more stages of Candy Crush before finally finding out if there was a heaven or hell (but preferably, heaven).

            Joey slowly opened his eyes and looked at his sort-of-bleeding left wrist submerged in bathwater. Once in a while, pain would shoot up his arms, especially when he moved it and little tendrils of blood floated around in the water. His butt was getting numb, so Joey shifted his weight and tried to relax.

            He’s been sitting in the tub, trying to die for the last fifteen minutes. He didn’t feel any weaker, or nearer to death, which led Joey to believe he may not have cut his wrists deeply enough.
