By Othello D. Gomes
Irely, a sentient knight, banished from existence itself, parries upon its own soul, the last one out there, to bewilder a sentimental meaning on this plane of 'non-existence'. Truthfully lying to himself, he tries to step forward in the brink of hope that the void itself can be tangible; a timid and much to his dismay of expectations, it remains blatantly unsettling to say further off. For a moment's grasp, he illustrates a boundary of tangibility before floating and eventually falling off of the nothing he's supposedly 'within'. Next to being oblivious about this environment he's in, the only reaction left for him to contemplate would be his thoughts before dying. Everything he knows means nothing at the moment, nothing can stop his sentiments nor can he be put to death. What could be possibly worse is the fact that the void itself is a loophole of nothingness. Where nothingness is supposed to be a realm devoid of everything known to the mind, here lies nothingness playing with a circular set of events with itself. Will falling forever and ever be the hell that he never wished to accept as his judgement? Or will hope be his last refuge and find a way to kindle the void? All remains impossible within the void and as his brain rapidly circulates neurons thinking about all the possible choices and events in his life that he took a part in, he can't take a moment to be one with any of them. Is it fighting the void that makes it hell? Or is it failing to accept it as your one and only refuged destiny that does ? It's only when one fails to accept his contemporary reality as the void that he goes on to persist his own suffering and misery, but the one who does still suffers as well. What makes his different from the other other? The one who has experienced and accepted the void knows 'nothing' itself and knows the illusion of 'fear' more than the laymen trying to drive fear into him through coarse desires. The past , present, and future are foundational for experience and are merely illusions in the realm of Void. Only the one who knows and has accepted the void lives without a longing for 'experience' again. Irely perhaps didn't have any of those realisations going through his mind, all he could think of was an escape out of this sudden and continuous misery.
