failure

zev was brainstorming. she failed every time she tried to kill herself.

every single time, she was spared, or saved.

First failed attempt

zev stared at the busy street filled with speeding cars. she looked left to right, wondering when she could cross the street. finally, a 18 wheel truck was heading her way, and she coundn't have been happier. as it was coming her way at full speed, she ran out into the street. before the truck could even hit her, a young woman pushed zev out of the way, and stood in front of the truck. everything went into slow motion, and the only thing zev heard was the sound of the truck crushing the woman's body. when zev looked up, there was blood splatered all over the concrete, and without a doubt, she knew the woman was dead.

"that was supposed to be me." zev whispered as tears ran down her face.

two police officers came to zev and picked her off the ground.

"are you alright, ma'am?"

"that lucky son of a bitch! SHE TOOK MY CHANCE! i was supposed to die! not her. i'm supposed to be dead." zev was infuriated.

"calm down ma'am, that woman saved your life." the police tried to reason with zev.

"i didn't want to be saved."

Second failed attempt

zev stared at her wooden floors in her bedroom. she was really about to do it. she was about to die. you see, zev had just finshed setting up her death trap. she poured a bottle of gasoline on her wooden floors. the gasoline was poured into a perfect circle, so zev sat in the middle. she poured rubbing alchohol all over her body, and held the matches in her hand. as she lit the candles, she smiled at the trap she created. as soon as she lit the match, she put it on top of the gasoline, and the flames started to ignite.

"yes, YES!" zev chanted.

what zev didn't know was that rubbing alchohol prevented your skin from catching on fire.

as soon as she put the other match on her alchohol coated skin, firefighters emerged into her room with a hose. zev was immediately sprayed down with water, and her plan had backfired, once again.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARDS." she yelled.

"we recieved a call that your house was on fire, and immediately rushed in. are you okay miss?"

how were they reached so fast?

zev's neighbour heard her fire alarm go off, and smelled smoke in the apartment complex. once they noticed, it was coming from zev's apartment, they immediately called '911.'

zev failed all 10 of her attempts, and wasn't stopping.

she was determined to meet death.

but she had many obstacles that were unknown, heading her way.
