Are
You Afraid Yet?
Tick, Tick, Tick; that’s how it’s been all my life, in every
second, the tick, going forever. Some days I wish it would end, contemplated
ending it all but what if it followed me? I say I thought about it, the ticking
however didn’t leave much room for me to think about that, it drove me
forwards, relentlessly…. Into eternity. I couldn’t even escape it in my dreams,
in fact that was where it was always strongest, when the barriers between what was
‘real’ and what wasn’t were weakest, where reality and impossibility are the
same things. Since the ticking has been with me since I was born it means I was
never good at making friends, made me withdrawn, everything became an obsession
a repetition, repetition was the key, and people weren’t part of that routine.
Followers… disciples…. Expendables they were useful, they became part of the
routine, my grand scheme, but I was alone always alone.
I guess that’s the life we lead though, no matter how hard
we fight, we all end up alone in eternity. So we all live secluded in our own
little corners of creation, corners we’ve made for ourselves, we become safe
from the world, perfect in our isolation, if we chose to maintain it.
Now due to our kind being seldom seen we are brushed off as
dreams and….. nightmares, held dearest in the darkest recesses of the human
mind. We may be safe from the world …… but we will show the world is not safe
from us.
Tick, Tick, Tick.
