Welcome and Good-Bye...

A short story of a soul-less being

A wandering soul without any goal, I walk to the end of the world.

Cold breeze and the salty scent of the sea wisp along my soul-less body as I stand at the edge of a cliff in a country I know not of.

The world, how I wish had never changed to what it is now, crumbles right in front of me. Not a single being, animal, or sky in sight, the world erodes slowly and slowly.

A future is no more to think of except the reality of facing a forever good-bye.

Now I sit on the rocky surface, watching over the sea vanishing particle by particle, as though there never even was one in the first place. The sky now half dyed in black, slowly pacing towards me. Like a paper set on fire this planet, my home, my family and everything else, is slowly vanishing.

I close my eyes thinking back to when this phenomena had mysteriously started. It truly was and still is a mystery which no one will ever solve… because none of us will still be here. I was a happy one back before this began. And then we heard the news of how countries and oceans started vanishing. Soon, in a blink of eye, my family was gone and I was running away to anywhere that was still a place.

My eyes open as I feel the wind change directions. Time is not of essence anymore. Nothing makes sense anymore. Science is dead and so will I be in a matter of minutes. The dark space is too close now.

The wind is no more. I stand up to raise my hand out and chuckle. Only an arms-span of space left till I get consumed by this eerie space. Should I just throw myself in there or wait and relish the last few seconds I have of life? Who knew death could be this scary when it’s right close to your face.

Tears start rolling down my numb face as I accept the finality of a world slipping away, leaving only echoes of what was...
