NIHILITY
I scream, but no one hears me.
I reach out, but no one reaches back.
I look out, but nothing looks back.
I am met by an unbreakable all-encompassing blackness that grins at me wickedly. It wraps itself around me, tighter and tighter. I feel the breath leave my lungs. Afraid of all that isn’t surrounding me I am glad that death seems to be claiming me. The air is gone and I haven’t breathed in what feels like several lifetimes but still I am here.
I cry, but no one cries with me.
I give up, but no one is there to give up with me.
My despondent and deadened soul languishes in the nihility that is life. Alone in this vast universe of nothingness I look inward and realize that if I am alone and everyone else is alone, then we are all the same and therefore no one is alone. A crazed smile spreads across my beleaguered face as I open my eyes and see people all around desperately in need of a loving and safe friend.
