The World is an Empty PlaceA Story by AiHThe world is an empty place. Its forest filled with deer and
fox, painted with evergreens and pine cones. There is no magic in this world.
No fairy’s, no werewolves, no goblins. The only monsters in this world are
human. Flesh and bone filled with rivers of veins and pulsing blood. It’s a
lonely world, your only friend is the reflection in the broken mirror on your
night stand and even then, the very sight of her fills your body with disgust,
growing from your toes to your skull. Sure, you have the passing acquaintance,
someone to grab a coffee with or cheat your math test off, maybe even share a
laugh with from time to time. But none of that matters because they never stay.
Human are preoccupied with superficial things which causes their attention span
to shrink according to the newest trend. It’s a lifeless way to live and to live that way is to live lifeless. You try
to find magic in a world like this, create a world full of adventure. It can be
exhausting trying to find your place in this world. You search and search in a
sea of monsters wearing “people masks” but you never find that magic you search
for, you never find peace. This life in this world is empty, nothing left
behind but empty shells of consciousness. The creatures you see on the streets,
driving their cars and riding their bikes resemble, to the naked eye, human
beings. They smile at each other, revealing crooked teeth and acne scars but
there is nothing below the surface of their faces. I don’t even think they know
how empty there are, they live their lives feeling full but that feeling is
nothing more than over indulgence of self-absorption. This world is an empty
one, but not because its lacking any chances of discovery, but because the
people who roam its surface is lacking the motivation to discover it. © 2017 AiH |
