How long have I been here I questioned? A day, a month, a year. I'm not sure. It seems like it's been an eternity since I awoke in this void but it may have only been a few seconds.
Or a hundred years.
I'm not sure.
All I know is that I felt an emptiness inside of me since I awoke.
A yearning for the life I once new. For the person I was once was.
Whoever that was.
Flashes enter my mind from time to time.
Faces of people who are as alien to me as the void.
I see a teen with red hair who has a tragic past.
A teen with brown hair who loves sci-fi and fantasy novels.
A teen who is addicted to ice cream. I can hear him joke about how his father says he will turn into an ice cream someday.
And another who have strongest connection with. He is not just my friend but like a brother to me. I try to call out his name but I can't remember it.
It was Lav something.
I'm not sure.
And there are faces that come into mind.
A man with thinimg brown hair and angry brown eyes.. I see him holding something. A cane or a switch. Whatever it terrifies me.
He terrifies.
And then I see an older teen. With blonde hair and blue eyes. He was not a friend but I knew him.
I see myself standing at a door and cries of pain are coming from the room. I don't know how but I know the cries are the blonde boy's.
And its angry man inflicting the pain upon him.
Go away I say I plead.
Leave me alone
I force the memory away and other faces fill my mind.
Some are family and other friends but I could not tell you who is who but I know that must be worried about me.
Or are they.
Maybe they have forgotten about me like I have forgotten them. Perhaps whatever cruel force deleted me from existence erased me from their minds.
A more chilling thought then came to me.
Perhaps I was not the only one exiled to this void. Maybe they are here drifting aimless wondering who they are and what happened to them. Maybe they are crying out for answers that will never come.
Please no. Don't let that be their fate I plead. It's one thing for me to be cast off into this endless prison but not them.
Please have mercy on them I say to the cold, unfeeling void.
But it does not reply.
It never replies.
