My Last Moments

Chapter 1: Ichiro Tachimi
On 2013, 88-year old Ichiro Tachimi had just came home from Yuu’s cremation that happened 2 days ago.

Yuu died of DVT after a pancreas operation, He was hospitalised serious pancreatic and liver failure.

He was never the same, Matsuko died last year after being hit by a drunk driver when she pushed him out of the way, leaving him a widow.

His granddaughter, son in law, both children and wife were all dead.

“I.....cannot stand it no more.....” Ichiro said.

He looked in the mirror, different from the 18-year old orphan who went to America at the end of WWII, different than the 59-year old who brought his granddaughter a Transformer.

His features were much more gaunt, he sometimes refused to eat.

He went to sleep on the old futon that he had since 2006.

One day, he woke up and wrote a note.

” (Fuck......this.....world...)“ He mumbled angrily as he wrote what would be his last note to the world.

He looked at the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga, which he brought for Satsuki after she died and Transformers, some of them reissues of the old Transformers toys,

As he was done, he went to the first JoJo manga Satsuki ever got as a gift, then hugged it tightly.

” (I’ll see you, Satsuki-chan.....)” He said.

He picked up his father’s old shin gunto, which was given to him by his aunt, his only living relative before she died in 1954.

He then stabbed the shin gunto into his throat, blood came out of the wound at an alarming rate.

He then picked up the reissue Thundercracker and the JoJonium edition of JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Phantom Blood Volume 1 while covering his wound with a towel, then wrapping the manga in a plastic wrap to avoid blood getting on it.

”Sa.......tsu.........ki....” He said as he embraced both of the objects as he felt his vision blur.

He then stabbed the shin gunto deeper, Ichiro had lost his ability to cry for help, he felt his vision black out.

”Ma....ri......a........” He croaked.

More blood stained the floor of the apartment as he stabbed himself even more times, then Ichiro hugged the two objects even tighter.

His eyes closed.

Ichiro Tachimi, Died January 4th 2013, outlived most of his family.

A female neighbor went to the door on 7th January 2013.

”Ichiro-san?” She asked.

The door was opened and she saw a grisly sight.

Ichiro laid there up against the wall, hugging the manga book and the toy robot still in its box.

”Ichiro? ICHIRO!” She cried, she saw deep cuts on his throat,

A neighbor heard what was going on and went inside.

”What did you do Ichiro?! What the hell did you do!” The woman, Yuko cried.

She saw the bloodied shin gunto on the floor, the male neighbor, Shigeru almost threw up,

He then held back his vomit to find a suicide note

”Fuck this world....” He said, he was shocked that the sweet Ichiro could use such bad language.
