        I wanted. After had taken care of everything, I ran to a motel near
        the mall and booked a room. I mixed up all the drugs and took
        them all at once. At first, my hands stopped shaking, which was
        totally a good sign. After that, I decided to wrap bandages around
        the cuts. I carefully wrapped the dressing around my knees.
        But then, my hand started shaking again, and this time more
        violently. I could not even wrap the dressing around my arm.
        I could not breathe and tears began to run down my cheeks for the
        second time. I knew my time has come and thought about the
        astronauts again. I chose to be the third one. I think I have lived my
        life.

              What I had left was just my worthless body and my untamed
        mind. My intellect, my conscience, and my rationality had all long
        disappeared. I could feel my heart beating so fast like it was going
        to jump right out of my chest. I closed my eyes and started to smile.
        I wanted to be like the astronaut I had seen on TV. I slowly closed
        my eyes and everything seemed to be alright after all.
