Down The Rabbit Hole | Chishiya

'Would you please tell me which route I should take from here?'

'That very much depends on where you want to go.'

'I don't really care where.'

'Then it doesn't really matter which route you take.'

'But I'll get to my destination, won't I?'

'Oh, you'll get there if you walk long enough.'

The sky, which had been bathed in a soft red, had to be an indication that this was a real world, after all there was a sun and a moon, as well as stars. Was I still on Earth then? Or were there other planets that had the same orbit?

What should I do now? Should I wait for something to happen? Would that eventually wake me up? Or should I keep moving to find an answer?

Questions upon questions, but no answers.

A lump formed in my throat, and I had to swallow it. The sour aftertaste remained. The nausea had been with me all afternoon and didn't seem to let go of me even now, even though I had already eaten and drunk something.

I turned away from the window and stared at the photo wall that Mom had put up for us on my fourteenth birthday. It was filled with memories of everything I never wanted to forget. I wanted more photos to be added, after all, my story was far from over. But would I ever go back to fulfill that wish? Now, I didn't believe such a reunion would happen.
