"Can anybody help me?"
A dark and gloomy girl yells into the night.
Nothing but silence hits her.
"Please, anybody! I need a lifeline!"
The girl looks around and sees a man.
The cold, brisk air from the water below
Tears at her skin, pushing blood in all directions.
The well known crimson liquid drips from her dark eyes,
Her strait nose, and her mouth.
"What have I done to deserve this life?"
She tries to yell, but nothing comes out of her mouth.
The man stops, turns, and speaks.
"Sorry that this life has let you down. Satan has chosen you to be the unlucky one of 1994. Here!"
He hands the girl a knife and a loaded gun.
She stares at them and puts the blade to her neck
Just under the jaw bone close to the ear.
Then the gun at her temple.
"Flip a coin, head I live, tails I die."
The man flips. It lands on tails.
"Best 2 out of 3."
He flips again. Heads.
Once more he flips that coin. But before it stops, the man looks up only to see a lying Corpse with a hole through her head and a slit throat.
It was heads.
