"Do it for your dead family, I'm sure there's a reason that only you survived..."
I walked away after he said what he had to, one question was stuck in my mind
"Did I have an uncle?"
I met eyes with the person in front of me before he disappeared. Everyone I looked at looked back at kept staring into my eyes and then disappearing. I couldn't make out what was happening but I was extremely confused... everyone was disappearing, and lights turned off as if this world was just... empty. Eventually, I was the only one left. Then I saw a mirror and my reflection. But it wasn't reflecting my movements. It was almost as if it had a mind of its own.
"Isn't it great? It's what you wanted, you wanted everyone in this world to disappear... didn't you?"
What was he talking about...? I had so many questions right then: why was I here? Where did everyone go? What is this place? What is this world? Is it even real...? Then I heard something so disturbing...
"Why don't you just fucking die? Fucking die."
Many voices were in my head at this point, telling me to die... telling me they can make everyone I hate disappear, ensuring me he can do everything...
"I am you, all you have to do is accept that."
Accept what? The fact some creature telling me to die is me... I don't think so, I'll never accept that fact even on my last day here...
