Legend

Eternity. A blessing. A curse. A profanity. It seems great, to live forever, maybe not even to be alive. After all, it is the nothingness, the darkness in the dead of night we all fear. It grips at our minds, a concept so incomprehensible because it is outside our very imaginations. How is it we cannot imagine what nothingness is, when we feel it before we are even brought into this world? We can imagine a kiss we've never had, what something or someone smells like. Eternity is great. Until you are stuck with it... It isn't all it's chalked up to be. After a time, maybe, not within the first few hundred or thousand years...but eventually? You become consumed by a pit of despair so deep you want nothing but to drift into that nothingness. It drives you mad; you want the one thing you can never have, there is no end, no relief. Eternity is worse than any hell, it rips away everything you once saw value in. I have lived through everything, looking not towards the next dawn but towards the next time I can close my eyes, let it all fade... But it is that pain that keeps me sane. My story is long, plagued with lust, love, rage, and greed. I lost everything. Yet, I gained everything. Let me tell you a story... My story.
