The Ends Beginning

There is nothing that I know of that is scarier than nothing. Blacker than black itself, an endless sea of emptiness. Nothing that will ever happen no hope, no life, absolutely nothing. When you look into the sky and see nothing at all, there is nothing that makes you empty it drains the hope of life and the joy of exploration, it is the scariest thing I can ever imagine or have experienced. I am writing this to warn others. Hopefully someday someone will find my writings and prepare and understand the biggest enemy we as life face… The End.

I was walking to my dwelling after educations like I did every day and as I did every day I stopped at the market, it was dark as it always was since our star solarius was surrounded by the synthetic planet sphere I was standing on. It surrounded the whole of solarius and we all lived on it since there were no more planets orbiting the star. Our sphere also generated the power needed by everyone living on it and it had been that way for years now I myself had not known anything more than this, though my dad did. He always spoke of the many star systems there were before the energy war which wiped them all out. He always said that there had to be a way we could all live, but he never quite found his answer. After the accident at the plant I lived alone and didn’t know many people around me… Though to get back to the market. If you looked into the sky you could see one star, depending on what time of day. The star would rise and fall day in and day out and it was a pretty reliable thing based on the rotation of the sphere. That day at the market I was buying some food that I ran out of at my house when a flash appeared over the sky everyone in the market square looked up to see solaria the only star light the otherwise black sky disappear.

At that moment while everyone around me screamed and cried I stood still. At that moment I realized all our hope was put into a ghost and that ghost had already died hundreds of years ago yet just the light alone gave us hope not an actual thing, just the perceiving of something gave us all hope… and now it was gone.
