Five minutes
Five minutes until it starts.
Five minutes until he meets the world.
Five minutes until everyone pays for what he had gone through.
Five minutes until they finally understand.
Surely, they're laughing at him. Right now. They're mocking him. Planning on how to best torment him next. But in five minutes, that'll stop.
Four minutes
In four minutes, he'll be live.
In four minutes, they'll all see him.
In four minutes, she'll see him.
She'll be disappointed. She'll disapprove. Their friendship had ended so suddenly, but she still cared. In four minutes, though, she'll surely stop caring.
Three minutes
Three minutes left before he does it.
Three minutes left before there's no going back.
Surely, this is what he should be doing. He'd planned all of this for months. All of that work will be worth it in three minutes.
Two minutes
The broadcast will start in two minutes
This is it. In two minutes, surely this will make him happy.
One minute
Really? Is this what will make him happy?
Ten
"It has to."
Nine
"No."
Eight
"No, this isn't right."
Seven
"There's so many people who don't deserve it."
Six
"How can I face anyone again if I do this?"
Five
"I can't do this."
Four
"I won't do this."
Three
"I'm turning it off."
Two
"Why won't it turn off?"
One
"WHY WON'T IT TURN-"
A surge of light filled the room. He felt himself choking on static.
