#抖阴社区Together Challenge

22.05.20, 01:22 The day has passed. Without effort from its side, the sun hid behind the horizon some hours ago. Still I'm here, trying to find the way out of misery, just one flickering light would be enough... for now. As the whole situation had begun, I thought that it would be just fine... a moment to focus on one's life, ponder upon the topics that are important and complete some unfinished projects. Yet... as the time goes by, there are just little moments when the shroud of dim thoughts and fears is lifted.

01:40 Silent music plays at the background. Long, quiet sounds, echoes of forgotten places and ruined cities. They tell a different story... a tale in which human being is just a grain of dust swirling in wast space. What had happened with us? - the question rises from the skulls and bones covered with ash - Have we already forgotten our true identity? How to lead a life that is true to its core? What is the point of rush, the compulsive thoughts and all the tumult that we'd created?

Yet they couldn't answer these questions. A shadowy figure drew close and with one movement of hand swept away even their voices. The gray plain was its kingdom. A place where whispers slowly faded, memories shone with diminishing light. Yet, their deaths created a space for something new.

(Youtube video is a property of Iron Cthulhu Apocalypse; it was placed here as it illustrates perfectly well the feeling of isolation and emptiness - though this emptiness doesn't have to be perceived as something unpleasant). The text is being written on the week between 18th and 25th May as an entry for the third task of the #抖阴社区Together Challenge.
