Darkness

I stand above the world, it seems, looking down on what appears to be a world of nothing but fire, and pain. I walk slowly down stairs that seems to have just materialized, but I continue to watch the horizon, as if something were there.1

I walk along a dusty road, which in turn opens to a bridge. I walk across it, sensing nothing, but curiosity on the other side. On the other side, fog seems to clear, and I see people, women, men, children, all handing a man inside a kiosk something. Each in turn, they jump into the revine, the one over which I stood. That explained the bridge of course, but I cocked my head in wonder. These people, I realized, they were paying money to the man in the kiosk. They were paying to die.2

I wake suddenly, sweat beading down my face. I look at my bare chest, touching the assortment of scars, making sure I was awake, that this was real. I stand slowly, collecting my thoughts. I heave a sigh, and pull on my cloak, which had been lying beside me.3

I grabbed my car keys and continued out to my car. I opened the car door, and sat inside. I grasped the steering wheel tighter and tighter, my heart beating quicker at each of my movements. I sigh again, and start the car.4

The night was a cold one, but I had my window open anyway. The cold never bothered me, but what did was my dream. The nightmare in which I had had since the event of my induction, my transformation. 5

I had no idea where I was driving, but that didn't matter either. This was the way my life was: Never premeditated, never thought about, I just did things to do them. I did things because I could, because I can.6

What does this whole scenario matter? Why do I say these things when they have absolutely no meaning at all?7

Easy, because this is how I live, this is how I will always live. I am stuck in this one night forever, reliving the night, reliving the dreams. It is like I am stuck in a time loop, or something. But no, as I mentioned before, I live this way because it is who I am. A monster.8

This was the curse God gave me, the curse of immortality, but then again, I never expected it to be this way. Immortality. I thought I would live normally, live forever. 9

Then again, there were no set rules to this power. This curse, but then again, I don't mind who I am:10

The Darkness.
