"I'm the only one left…"
Was this really what fate had in store for me?
"I-…"
I stand alone in a world I've been in thousands of times, yet this world still feels foreign to me no matter how many times I've seen it.
[Was this the only way it could've ended?]
The everlasting nothingness makes my body quiver.
My hands tremble over the lifeless corpse below me, blood leaking from a large gash on its neck.
[How could it have been different?]
Teeth rattling against each other, I reached out to touch the lifeless husk before me.
[Why me?]
A singular tear runs down my cheek, then another, and another, and before long they're flooding from my eyes.
"WHY?"
I clench my fists together and collapse over the deceased body as my tears fix with the blood of a life fated to perish for my sake.
The tears continue to flow.
I refuse to stop them.
[It could've been anyone else…]
"IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ANYONE ELSE!"
The smell of blood tugs at my senses as my heart begins to beat rapidly. A low guttural scream escapes my throat as I whine out into the void surrounding us. I grasp at my hair and begin to pull on it.
Pain was the only thing I deserved, but hate began to boil deep within me. The fury I felt began to merge with the tears streaming down my cheeks.
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS"
I let go of my hair as my fists curl before slamming them down towards the lifeless corpse.
[Nothing.]
"I HAVE NO ONE NOW, NOTHING!"
Another scream echoes out as I repeatedly beat on the corpse, hoping something would change if I hit hard enough.
[I'm alone… All alone…]
"I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU!"
The corpse doesn't reply, I know it won't, but that doesn't stop my rage.
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO END IT LIKE THIS! WE COULD'VE DONE SOMETHING. ANYTHING!"
A spasm coming from the body causes me to jump slightly.
"YOU SELFISH PIECE OF SHIT!"
I cease my onslaught on the corpse before gripping my chest.
[I didn't want this…]
My lips trembled, my eyes stung, and my head sank low.
"You forced this on to me…"
Despite the newfound emotional weight, my body slowly rises and walks to the edge of the arena-like platform I stand on.
Nothing is below me, and nothing is above me.
I am all that's left.
[I'm sorry… I'm sorry…]
"I'm sorry…"
I take a step forward, off the edge, into the abyss below…
