Method: carbon monoxide poisoning
"Caddy, the cute little Australian girl. She’s dedicated, I’ll give her that. Just won’t give up hope on a way out. She has a way of somehow cheering people up around here."
Cadence, known to everyone but her parents as Caddy, grew up in Melbourne, Australia. Her father owned a car dealership there, which made her family of four pretty well off financially. From a young age, Caddy wanted to become a nurse. She had a naturally empathic heart, and coupled with her love of science and anatomy, a nurse seemed like the perfect career choice. Fiercely dedicated to her studies, Caddy was remarkably intelligent and highly intuitive. Her family was nothing but supportive of her career choice, always providing encouragement along the way. When Caddy went to university the dealership became particularly busy, so her parents weren’t able to spend as much time focused on her. Plus, her brother graduated from university the same year that Caddy was getting ready to go to university. He made excellent marks and was on his way to medical school, so Caddy had a lot to live up to. Despite the pressure, most of it coming from herself, Caddy did almost perfectly in nursing school, graduating at the top of her year. All of her hard work seemed to boil down to one interview at a major hospital in Sydney for a position as a pediatric nurse in the oncology unit. She would be working with terminally ill children, providing them with hope, giving them their treatments, and generally keeping them happy until it was their time to go. Caddy was offered the opportunity to change lives, which was really all she had been working toward her whole life.
Everything came crashing down around Caddy when it came time for her interview with the hospital. Extremely nervous, Caddy couldn’t sleep most of the night before the big day and ended up sleeping through her alarm. She made it to the interview 10 minutes late and completely disheveled, too distracted by the fact that she was late and looking a mess to give proper answers to the questions. As the interview ended and how much she had messed up began to sink in, her eyes welled up with tears as she left the room. She was coming to the realization that the job she had been working toward her entire school career was slipping through her hands. She was beyond angry with herself, and when she got the fateful call revealing the news she had expected, she decided she had nothing left to live for. While her parents were at work, she locked herself in the garage with the car running, impatiently waiting for the carbon monoxide to enter her body and cause her heart to stop beating. She lay down in the back seat, rubbing her fingertips over the leather and thinking about what a mess she had made of her life. She could never forgive herself for being so stupid. As she slowly began to suffocate, she recalled the people she was leaving behind. Before she had time to regret her decision, everything went black.
When Caddy arrived in The Middle of Nowhere and she began to realize that she was stuck there forever, she really did not know what to do with herself. With nothing to study and nowhere to volunteer, she spent a lot of time just sitting at home for the first few years, occasionally hanging out at the graveyard to see if anyone she knew might show up. Now, after almost 10 years, she still won’t give up on looking for a way out, but she seems to have somewhat accepted her fate. She is trying to make the best of her situation by being a counselor of sorts, always available if someone in Nowhere wants to let go of their negative feelings or get some advice. Even if she is stuck here, she wants to make as much of a difference as she can.
Mum, Dad, and Brandon:
I am so sorry that I let all of you down. I worked so hard for this and now that I know I won't be able to fulfill my dream, I have nothing left to live for. Please use my death as something positive, and ask for donations rather than flowers for the funeral. Give the money to the oncology unit at the hospital. They need it more than I need life.
I love you very much. Goodbye.
