The Tiny Dot. YJA2017

I found myself in something that resembled "space".

Darkness was all around.

There is nothing. The thought of "something" doesn't exist.

I suddenly remembered bits and pieces of a place I once was. What was that? Was it a dream? What are dreams?

In the vastness of darkness, I start to remember what it's like to have friends, acquaintances, loved ones, and even enemies. I miss them all. I remember what loneliness is now. I am afraid, I am alone. Who am I? Why am I here...AM I here???

It is so dark, words don't describe the darkness. There is simply nothing. Not even a star in this vastness of "space".

As I sit in total darkness, I see a tiny speck of light. It's just a dot. That little dot is SOMETHING! Now I see hope. It's joy, it's elation! Something exists! My whole purpose now is to reach this dot!

I long to get closer to this speck of light. As my desire to reach this light grows, I get closer to it. It's coming in to view now..It's so bright. The closer I get, the more I feel love.

Now it makes sense! Love! Yesss! I would give anything to see even my greatest mortal enemy. My thoughts are suddenly filled with everything in the universe. Now I get it. I am overwhelmed with love. I understand my purpose now!

As I enter this light, I see my brother, and an old friend. They are still a distance away, but it's definitely them! I somehow just know it.

They are chuckling to each other as I arrive.

There is a bountiful amount of energy and joy here. No-one is less important than anyone. I feel this strongly. Music is going, but it's not human music, it's just there. A constant harmony. It's perfection.

As I finally approach my brother, he says "See? I told you everything would be OK! Haha!"

The End.

Thank you, bro!

I just realized I didn't include "non-writer" in the OP (can't edit now). Woops! Non-writer! Although I did have the writer title once.....but I was a bad boy and got it taken away....Would love to get it back!

Hey Wookiep!

Well you started out writing my worst nightmare, lol...dying and being conscious...but not "being".
(I ran to grab a donut to console myself!)

That was really great. I can't believe you lost your 'writer' status!
So glad to see you participating!
S&F (you will get your shiny title back)

Agreed. I think the topic of this contest really hits home for many people...I almost wonder if it's a premonition of sorts.. Like we all know this day is coming soon deep down within our collective conscience. (conspiracy bells are ringing!) As a result, so many wish to articulate, and with deep passion, the details of our coming demise... I also agree that many amazing stories have been posted!

We have a lot of talent here. I'll be happy just to receive a "participation trophy". Lol, It's great to see all of the activity going on here. I love seeing ATS so active!
