Breaking Free

I looked at beyond my right shoulder, it was dark. I quickly turned towards the left and it was dark as well. Forward and backward but they were all dark. Engulfed in darkness, I sprinted forward toward nothingness but the path was endless. I ran relentlessly  until I fell. But I stood up again and this time more determined.

“Stop” said an aged, imposing and omnipresent voice “This is your destiny.  The doors beyond are blocked. This is your tomb.”

A light came from unseen distant ground illuminated that shot out to all direction. I strode towards the light. And as I walked the extension of the light reduced until I reached the place. My eyesight was poor but I could see a naked and inert body. I placed my hands on the body, it was freezing cold.

“NOOO” I screamed “I’M ALIFE” but there was nothing but echo of my screeching ringing into silence.

I ran towards my right. But the path was everlasting. I decided to challenge the nothingness. But I fell to the ground again. Unabatedly, I got up and started to run.

“Fool” said the same unreverberant, aged and ubiquitous sound “You’ll tire yourself. Can’t you comprehend this?”

“I’m” I whispering to myself, stopping sprinting “Am I Not? But…why pain”

I sat on the hard ground distressed. But I was certain my dreams have collapsed beyond repair. I remembered I was passionate in my aims and dreams. I was certain that my writings would change the world and that I can bring new system in the universe that would make a difference but now I’m lifeless. I did not have the chance of making the difference that I believed for.

“My eyes connect with the light of distant star billions of after its formation. My brain race to calculate its movement: an ultimate speed of 300,000 km/sec. Yet diving into space-time continuum the photon is everywhere and at that very moment. From its perspective, it took no time to reach me. I’m a photon and I have succeeded”

And that was it. My mantra, I remembered it. I felt salty tears dropping from my unseeing eyes. I knew it….

Reiterating my mantra loudly and defiantly I heard the screaming’s of the aged man not as it was ubiquitous, commanding as it was. But declining, powerless, begging shriek “NOOO” into silence.

I opened my eyes. I could see everything.

I’m Alive; I have dreams and I CAN MAKE a DIFFERENCE
