the Void

Please do not be alarmed. I am visiting you in your dreams. Please understand, however, that this is very real. Yes, in this world I can communicate with you freely. Allow me to explain.

I am alone. Alone, alone... It sounds so... so final. I have forgotten by now what alone means, but I am it. I have not only forgotten more than I have learned, but I have been forgotten. I don't understand who I am anymore, but I know that I am... perhaps I shall tell you later.

I was like you, once. I could see, smell, taste, touch, laugh, and... Forgive me. I don't mean to carry on as such, but I am just so relieved by your mentality that I am wandering in my thoughts. I had a life. I had a... a... a family. Yes, that is the word that so eluded me. Family. I had a mother, a... father, a dear brother, and a twin sister. I had a life. But what is life? I had one, once... didn't I mention it?

I am very sorry if I have disturbed you. I just need to tell someone all of the things that I cannot remember. I am in the Void. I have becomed trapped in the Icy Grip of Nothingness. I am nothing and everything. I am life. I am death. I am nothingness and vacuous.

You are so linear. Do not leave. You have the time. Time has No Meaning. Here, you and I are all that matter. Yet you resist. Why? Because you are afraid? Please, do not be afraid, for it is only things tangible that we really have to fear. Thank you for staying.

I amisamarewaswere... I am... I was... human, maybe. Maybe not. I told you about my sister, did I not? I... I m... mi.. miss her. Is that correct? I haven't spoken for so long. Yes. That... wait. I am getting ahead of myself. My sister.. 'ter was possessed by a Power-Hunger. That is why she... No, wait. No. I don't rmemeber. Unimportant. She was... No, nevermind.

I have... no, had a brother. Yes. He... loved my sister and myself. He took care of us when... when... My father or someone or something... I don't quite remember, was not... good. I think he was very not good. He would have killed my brother... no. He did kill him. I think. He and.....

Wait. I am aware now. Please don't leave... not yet. My father and my... my sister. they conquer...no, they destroyed my world and my home. They killed my family... Our Family! They... I... I am all that is left of what once was. I don't... understand it. They... they... they sent me here so I couldn't tell anyone my secret. But I told you. They couldnt stop me from that!! Oh, no. I am so truly sorry. Now you must fear...them. Had I but known, I... I only chose you because of your mentality. We have something in common, you and I. I don't know... what... I have to tell you... to live one... more... time.......... You are our last... hope...

Please disregard everything I have said, for I have gone insane.
