Vague

The Voice

Once upon a time, there had been a voice on an island that consoled the islanders.

It was heard only on gloomy days when birds were too weak to chirp. It was music to the ones that felt discouraged and disturbance to the ones that envied it.

Throughout the years, many looked for the source of the voice. They wanted to take a glimpse of whoever is the owner of the stunning voice.

Their curiosity and obsession won them over, so they chopped trees and destroyed houses to find "the voice".

The islanders couldn't recognize themselves or their loved ones. They were dead souls inside desperate bodies.

The voice that brought them peace and lulled them to sleep suddenly turned into an evil voice that brainwashed all the islanders into destroying their island.

When nothing was left, the voice revealed itself.

The islanders looked at it and screamed in agony. They screeched all night till their voices grew hoarse.

Everything went vague as soon as the sun rose over the island, and the islanders went into a deep sleep.

There were no more gloomy days on that island.

Everyone slept so peacefully that... they never woke up.

The voice traveled to another island.

Island after island...

To console the islanders and grant them a deep, peaceful sleep.
