Week 40 - If Today Was Your Last Day

[tiemlord]

I think I'd be glad it was all over at last. Now if only I knew there was no Afterlife to contend with, I think I could even die happy.

 

It's not that I don't want some sort of afterlife, but I've lived long enough that I don't want any rest. I've had enough rest and now I just want it all to end. I don't want to continue on as some sort of angel or spirit or something. I don't want any reincarnation. I don't want to sit by the Gods in the Heavens. I just want some finality, a permanent end to everything. An end to my existence once and for all so I can leave everything behind.

 

See, not being able to die means you just dwell on everything. The decades pass, they all die around you, and you end up feeling helpless and alone. I've got all the powers of a God and I feel as helpless as a baby. There is no end for me. I just have to keep on existing, keep on tending to the cosmos, and try not to let it get to me.
