"N-No. I- I- It can't be a loop. No! J-Just make it stop."

She said sternly to herself, voice and body shaky as she paced the floor of her outdoor balcony, looking out over the city.

She put a shaking hand to her forehead and looked down at her bare, calloused feet.

"Everything ends. E-Everything ends..." She muttered, closing her bright brown eyes and bringing her hand to her mouth feeling her dry, pale and peeling lips slowly.

"Everything... Ends." She took a deep breath and lowered her hand, opening her eyes and looking over her city slowly.

She placed both hands on the thin black railing, one of them slipping once since the metal was wet from the still-pouring rain.

After a second of catching her breath, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and matches.

She carefully took a cig out, like it was the most previous thing in her possession, and put the pack back in her bathrobe pocket.

Next, the match.

She put the cigarette between her teeth and held it there, while her still-slightly-shaking fingers fumbled with the matches.

She muttered a few curses before she finally lit one and then her cigarette.

She took in a long draw, then coughed heavily and let the fresh cigarette fall from her mouth, along with the matchbox from her hand, down off the edge of the balcony.

"I d-don't smoke." She announced bluntly, it almost sounding like a question, before suddenly turning on her heel and going back inside, soaking and dripping wet.
