BEYOND THE LAUGHTER OF SHADOWS: PROLOGUE

I have always understood death. It has been that way since my first memories began to take their form. As a child, I knew what it meant "to die"... My torment echoed off of me and rained down over my parents. With every tear I offered to the cold earth, it seemed their cries reverberated marginally more emphatic than my own. 

  I was placed in the hands of countless doctors which attempted to deform and distort the "symptoms," only to reiterate them as though they had just contrived a diagnosis for the dilemma. But, that's just what it was. Those where the facts, how is one supposed to change that? Eventually, my problem, was shrugged off and was instead dubbed nothing more than "a phase." Brushed aside into a distant reclusive corner of their minds and lives hoping that, if ignored long enough, it would perish and leave no signs of it ever existing behind. Something like this, however, can nevermore be repressed.  

For everyday of what some may call life, I feared it may have been my last. Living a carefree life as any child should, remained on my list- for it persisted evermore unreachable. That being said, it is not death which bursts terror throughout my being. The root of my dismay is what follows it. Just what happens when one exhales their last breath? Is one enveloped in a tepid glow- or shrouded in frigid obscurity...? The thought of ceasing to exist, to me, is countless times worse than any death...
