The Ash Fall

The End

      Where am I? Probably the most prominent question in my right now. Everything was dark, and I'm talking everything. There seemed to be nothing, it was the kind of darkness that made it seem as if a black hole swallowed you and there was literally nothing. It was also quiet, I couldn't even hear myself breathe, well hell, maybe I wasn't breathing, I didn't know anything anymore. The weird thing was though. Despite this void I was in, I was totally calm. I could feel myself moving my arms and legs slowly as if I was treading water, that was the only thing I felt, aside from the burning headache which was starting to develop, which I assume was due to the lack of everything.
       I had been in this void for what felt like hours before something finally happened, not that I was really expecting anything to happen at that point. A small ball of light appeared in the distance, or maybe it was big and just really far away, who knows. Then in mini bursts, more lights, everywhere. They were all a pure white light and they were all different sizes. To be short, they were beautiful. The pure white was in stark contrast to the empty void, and they kind of hurt my eyes. Then, suddenly without warning, it was her. Plain as day there she was, made of the same light but dimmer and more defined in shape. She was walking on what appeared to be nothing directly toward me, and she was crying. Each tear that fell was like a glimmering star that just fell into the void of darkness and light. I wanted to help but I couldn't move, it was like I was stuck in place. I tried to call out to her, but no sounds came out. She began to walk past and in one last finally push of will I managed to move my hand out and grab her arm gently. I then managed to say one thing as a single tear fell down my cheek and down into the never ending void....

"Goodbye"
