'''As usual, the night is silent. The day had long since disappeared from recent memory. When I look up, there are only a few stars to be seen, if any. The little light that the stars provide cast a dim glow over the buildings surrounding me. They are empty. The people that used to live there are gone. All that remains is their possessions and their unmoving, still, silent bodies. My world is devoid of life, movement, and light. '''

'''The others that left me long ago no longer feel what I do, they no longer endure what I do. I am alone. They succumbed to it, and I am surely to follow. No matter where I go, where I hide, it is pointless. I will be found no matter where I am. Finding myself in its hands is inevitable. No one is here to comfort me now. I cannot shake a feeling of helplessness from my body as I think about it as I speak. It is overpowering, all-consuming. Every fiber of my being, my soul, is fighting against time and the knowledge. The knowledge that I am next, and I cannot do anything. Hide from it, fight it, accept it, nothing will help me. My only glimmer of hope is that it will be better on the other side, if there is one. Each second that passes by is a step closer to encountering it, and all I can do is dread it’s arrival.'''

'''I do not know when it will come for me. It is silent, there will be no warning of its arrival. When it comes, my time is up. I do know that I will not see it. Even if there was light, I would not be able to see it’s form. It is shapeless, it is larger than the universe itself and smaller than an atom. When there were still others with me, we called it incomprehensible.'''

'''When the little light that I still see fades, I will know it is here. I fear that if I close my eyes, I will be gone before I open them. Perhaps that would be better than waiting. All I can do is dread it’s arrival, or I can welcome it. I am tired of dreading this thing. Before I close my eyes, I whisper my last words. I long to return to nothing.'''
