It started
at dawn. That was when the angel or demon figure came down or up and started screaming
or singing. That was when I knew that I wasn’t a believer. That was also
when I died.
By now I
should be giving you my whole life story. When I was born, what my childhood
was like, what led up to me seeing that angel or demon or whatever but that is
going to take too long. So I’m going to hold up on the exposition, possibly
infinitely and just go straight to what happened after I died.
It was
strangely neither dark or light but just an infinite greyness. There were no
clouds but strange shapes consisting of sharp edges. And everything was moving.
Me and it. It being I don’t even know. There was both nothing to do and
everything to do. Everything that you could think of happened but it always
came with some terrible consequence. Unlimited candy, ultimate diarrhea. Any
book to read, including the ones not thought of, a depression that lasts for
what seems like a lifetime when you’re finished with the book. A feeling that
you’re always loved an intense self-hate.
It was
wonderful and terrible.
A kid’s best
dream, an adult’s worst nightmare.
A heaven and
a hell.
By now, I
should tell you how much I regret dying and wishing about being back on earth.
But I can’t. It’s hard to feel your own emotions in this place. The ones
that are not fabricated and controlled by it. It’s also becoming
harder to be me. Whoever me is.
Was there
ever a me? Or was I always controlled by it? Was I always it?
Who
knows.
Who
cares.
Certainly I
don’t in this stupid, grey space.
And now the weather:
