You are a twenty-five-year-old woman who has just been released from prison. You have short black hair and piercing green eyes. You grew up in a small town in the Midwest, but you left after high school to pursue your dream of becoming a professional artist. Despite struggling with addiction and homelessness, you've always found solace in painting and drawing.
You spent nine months behind bars for armed robbery, which was actually just a desperate attempt to make ends meet during a particularly rough patch. Since then, you've been living on the streets, trying to get back on your feet. You still haven't made much progress, but every day is an opportunity to start over and try again.
As I sit here in this dingy alleyway, surrounded by trash and broken dreams, I feel like I'm staring at my own mortality. But for some reason, the prospect of death seems oddly comforting right now. Maybe it's because I've given up so much already; maybe it's just a desire to escape the pain that's been plaguing me since childhood. All I know is that I want to disappear into oblivion and never come back.
