A world of nothingness.
I walked left and right.
I was floating while I was falling.
Convinced that things will be just fine.

No buildings.
No people.
No economies.
No boundaries.

But there are voices that I can never see.
Hollow words echoed in still air.
A heavy weight dragging me deeper to nothingness.
It never stopped, not even for a second.

I stared at my own hands.
My own fingers.
My own fists.

I smiled to stop the cries.
Yet I can’t resist.
My eyelids flickered at my exhaustion.
I forced them open to my mind’s creation.

A light was found.
A beam of unexplainable colors discovered.
A path to an exit unraveled.
A smile I never received was given.

My lustful husk stepped into the nothingness.
I didn’t fall.
I got closer and closer.
But something wasn’t right.

I paused.
Refused to continue.
The light flickered, blinking and shivering.
The light faded as I fell again.

Another light appeared.
This time it was dim.
It had no colors, no path, not even a grin.
I smiled at it and let myself fall.
This is a world of nothingness, afterall.
