A spark
The time approaches
Load Full StoryNext ChapterI wait in this endless void, yet I have no patience to test. I look over the light eating darkness but with no eyes to see. I drift around this endless expanse but still I am nothing. In here, there is no such thing as time, life, sound, light, or matter.
But here I stand in this abyss. I'm not sentient but yet I think. But this void can show things too. But they're never really there, are they? I fear my mind is slipping into insanity, yet I have no mind. The whisper's teach me what the void can see.
The land of happiness and sunshine is on the other side and that's sickening to me. There is life that grows stagnant over time. The place is brimming with light and hope. I feel nauseous yet I have no stomach. The evil and insane are so tame on the outside yet they are all so scared. They deserve to have the nothingness claim them all. Maybe then they'll have the right of sentients.
Ever since I came into existence here I never questioned any of this. The nothingness was what I am used to but there is an ever burning hatred building up. I could do nothing but let that hatred grow. As the whispering spoke to me I found a focus for my hatred. I am nothing, yet I have thoughts and feelings. They are light that should have never been left to fester.
I've learned everything about this world. The sentient beings and their desperate bid for control. I'm aware of them yet I can do nothing. Because in the end, I am and always will be nothing.
But then the oddest thought occured to me. "What if I could?" A simple question. Not once have I ever thought a question and yet that simple question led to more."What if I exist?" " What if I was sentient". "What if I could leave?" And finally, "where would I fit in this world?". The questions seem never ending, but not a single answer in sight.
Once again I think of things I never have before. I imagine what I would do out there and what it would be like. Walking into the light and letting my hatred out. Then came a wish from my thoughts. That wasn't new, but the wish itself is what was intriguing. I want to leave the darkness and really exist.
The visions came back to me. Before the only words to describe them would be true madness. But this time was different. There were three images that could be described as orbs. Each orb contained something different. The whispers grew louder as I gazed at the orbs.
The first had an hourglass inside. One of the whispers grew louder then the others. "A long time ago, imprisoned for their crimes, wake one up and live their life".
Looking away the whisper molded back into the others. The second orb had a picture of a gift in it. The whispers again grew quiet and one rose above them. "You are there, just another face in the crowd, but with the power to change everything".
The last orb contained a futuristic looking chip. The whispering completely silenced and a voice spoke. "You are always ahead, you know what effects you'll have, you will be created".
Then there was only silence. Not a single whisper can be heard. The only thing that stayed were the orbs just flouting there unmoving. Choices to be made, all because I started to change. Changes got me this far, let's see how far I can go.
I instinctively know the meaning of the orbs. The first means that upon my release I will be very well known so there is no chance of surprise, but I will have a good grasp on what is going on in this land. The whispers lead me to believe that I will be powerful, but my weakness will be well known across the lands. The second orb will allow me knowledge of the world but yet let me have the element of surprise. I will not stand out as much. I will have to use persuasion instead of force. That could be risky in its own right. The third orb it will give me the element of surprise but not a good handle on what is going on in this land. I will know what my actions cause by looking into the future. There is also reason to believe that I will have more advanced technology. But I may stand out because the whisper said "created" which means I might not be fully human. But still my question is unanswered. What orb would be the most useful.
The whispers haven't come back yet so I guess it's up to me. But I've never had to make a decision let alone question my existence. I have no idea what to do. The only thing I can do is what I have slowly been developing over the years. My only option is to think and hope that my choice is the right one. Besides this looks like the first question of many to come so every single answer I give will be important in the long run.
Hahahaha It's kind of funny when you think about it. My entire existence was literally nothing, but the moment I change, I have the power to change everything. This will be fun. I can tell already. I've never experienced fun before. I have this feeling of jitteriness and anticipation. I think this emotion is called excitement. From what I've heard excitement often results in fun.
I smile and yet I have no lips to smile with. I fidget and yet I have nothing I can move. For once in my existence I do not feel alone. I feel watched and I feel the weight of my decision. There are eyes watching me in this empty void waiting with anticipation for my choices, for my next move. The pressure is unbearable. I feel the weight push down on me the more I think. All of these new experiences are starting to get to me now. I must let it go. My thoughts slowly stop as my sentience falls away so I can rest my tired mind. The best choice must be made because I do not believe I can go back and change my answers.
