The final step

I stand on the edge, high above the city, looking down at the bustling nightlife and the glittering lights below. "This is it," I think, as the wind whips through my hair. I take one last drag of my cigarette, then flick it away, watching it disappear into the void.The hum of the city feels distant, like a world I never belonged to. I close my eyes, breathing deeply, savoring the quiet in this moment. A calm smile touches my lips as I step forward, leaving the ledge behind me. For the first time in a long while, I finally feel at peace.
