The Void/ The Nothing

Repeating

Walking.

Running.

Walking.

Looking behind me.

Same thing.

Nothing.

I thought I heard someone earlier, but that was just me, talking to myself, quietly. Yet it was so loud.

I feel like I'm a broken record.

Is that what I am?

Constantly on loop?

Constantly moving forward with no end?

But it HAS to END!

It HAS TO!!!

I can't just walk on, run on, just moving forward with each step for eternity, right?

RIGHT?!?

This can't be real. I must be sleeping! But I'd have woke up by now. Right?

Am I really alone? But I felt something else.

SOMEONE else!!

Is that why I'm moving?

Would that other feeling kill me? Would I actually die if I stopped?

I'm scared.

I want to feel anything, ANYONE else. It can't just be me and whatever is following me. There MUST be OTHERS!!!

Right?!

I just can't be alone.

That'd be impossible.

It'd have to be impossible.

It'd have to be.

I heard someone say my name, at least, I think it was my name. Sounded like it was.

It hurt when I heard it at first. It was so quiet walking for the last hour... year... decade? I've lost track of time.

Actually, I'm not sure there is time here.

When I heard what I believed was my name being called, I wanted to run and scream, saying I was here... but all I did was run forward, as if away from the voice.

I screamed in my head to turn around, to find who called me... yet I just kept running away.

Away from the voice.
