Luna's Misery

Eternal Void

I don't know how long I've been here. It all seems the same to me. As soon as I opened my eyes, I forgot everything. All I can remember is the same place I've been. Never changing, never ending, just there.

Nothing moves but me as I walk and walk with no end to this place in sight. Sometimes I think I'm crazy or dreaming, but I know this is real. I feel it in the core of my heart, the very center of my being.

Something I did long ago caused this to happen. This state of eternal punishment. Every moment I've spent here I try to remember. To remember why I'm here. It seems to me that this punishment would be more bearable if I knew what terrible deed could warrant such a state. Something inside me tells me that it will be a long time if ever, before I know. But I try anyway, clinging to that last tendril of hope. The hope that someday I'll figure everything out. Maybe by some miracle things could go back to the way they were. Back to how life was before it was all stolen from me.

Now I wander this same place, seeing nothing but grey stone and thinking, why, why me? Maybe I deserve this fate but that doesn't change how I feel about it. I believe in second chances. No matter how horrible the crime no one should be doomed to a fate like mine. I suppose it doesn't really matter now, but I can't help but wonder, am I the first? The first to be doomed to walk all alone with not even a single memory? Even though I'll probably never know the answer, this question still fascinates me. I'm not sure why; maybe its because I need something to occupy my thoughts. Whether I'm the first or not I mainly just want to know what could cause such a cruel punishment.

I wish I could leave this void for even just a second to see what life used to be. At least then I would have a good memory amongst all these depressing thoughts. I know that can't happen, but a false hope is better than none in my situation. For I am forever alone with what memories I have as I wander through this endless, empty void.

Author's Note:

An idea I had for a while. Not sure about quality but its nice to have done it at least.

That is really deep.
I had that 'just about to cry' fealing in my eyes from the second paragraph to the final sentance.

Goes nowhere and accomplishes nothing, much like its protagonist.
