Once Upon A Winter's Eve-February 18, 2078

February 18, 2078
Dear Reader, whoever you might be,
Though I will never know how you have happened across this scrap of paper, I hope for your sake and the sake of the world I am soon to leave behind that you are in a situation far better than mine. As I write to you with fingers blue from cold and purple with blossoming bruises, I can barely stand to hold my pen. Before, I thought I knew what cold was, but I had never been soaked through with it to my very bones until my blood itself seemed to freeze over at times. I thought I knew hunger, but I had never felt the constant savage throb of my stomach as it gnawed away at what little was left of me. I thought I knew loneliness, but never before had it pressed in against my soul in the darkness, suffocating my heart and bleeding dry any pathetic, ludicrous hope of happiness until madness threatened every moment of my failing existence.
No, never before had I truly understood pain. But I am not forcing my pen across this page to tell you of my condition now, for nothing can be done to help it. I am here to tell you about the fall of planet Earth, and humanity, and how all of it, every last bit, is my fault. I do not deserve your sympathy, dear Reader, and yet I am compelled to share my story, so that if for some reason the human race prevails, you might not wander down the same treacherous path as I.

Results, please.
First and foremost, I am very sorry I haven't written in so long. I have several excuses, but I suppose the real reason I've temporarily put HBB on hiatus is because I've realized it's not very good. At first, I was just bored with the story, and realized I'd sort of developed my characters incorrectly, but then I ready cityonahill01's "Stuck in a Harry Potter Romance" story, and saw how pathetic and generic my story was. Perhaps better written and not as overdone as some of the stories City parodies, but still. Anyways, if I decide to go back to HBB (which I might, because I still really like Belle's original concept), I would have to rewrite most of the later chapters because I think I ended up doing Draco's character injustice. Anywho, this was just sort of something I randomly started writing in my head and then thought, "Hey, that's not half-bad, I should write it down." So I did. And for some reason unknown to me (honestly) I'm posting it here. Anyways, thanks for reading my whole schpeel, and maybe I'll post again soon. Ta!
