  • Essay / From a Small Beginning - 662

    My sleeping self recalls memories similar to those from the radio. I begin to walk in this distant era. The monochrome sky stretches beyond the limits of the world and I and he stand before me. I was always with him. No matter what, we were together. He told me what he had said that time: “Why are we in such a horrible world? If I look at it, it's empty. I don't want to exist in a world like this. So, I'm going to change it. I had always ignored it, but you felt the rain, the rain of trials, and you didn't accept it. The town we grew up in was incredibly poor. Of course it was hard. A daily struggle. But there were also your parents. During a riot they were killed. Since then, you hadn't spoken as much; as if you blame yourself. However, this is where our dream began: our dream to change the world. My sleep starts to fall apart and you and everything start to disappear. I am left alone in my own thoughts as I look at the landscape outside. The barren moon clings to the sky filled with so much emptiness I could drown. We are so far from that time. Maybe now we can start to change things. In silence, I walk towards you and the other members of the council. “Do you really believe that you have a chance of becoming the leader of the country? You're just a poor boy from a poor town. The old men laughed. How dare they say that! Me, about to say something, I was held back by you. Nothing seemed to have any effect anymore, you had the same impassive expression and the same cold eyes. You carry a deep darkness in your heart. However, I am sure that you can win this election even if no one else believes in it. It's election results day. The hands of the clock move us forward. The moment is approaching. I feel a... middle of paper...... looking slightly distressed. "It's sad, but in that case, I won't let you get in my way." » He has a knife in his hand. Is he trying to kill me? We've been through so much together. Surely he couldn't do that. But he hasn't shown any concern for anything in years, even me. The only thing that interests him is his desire for revenge. I know he's ready to kill me for this. I need to get away. It's been a while since then. I shed my tears every day. I am alone. It's all my fault. That day you hit me. Surprised, I pushed you away. Chaos reigned all around us. But... You slipped backwards and fell. The despair I felt was like nothing I had ever felt before. I killed you, it's my fault. As you pushed toward the ground, my cry echoed. Since then, it hasn't been the same. Now my only dream is to wait, so I can join you – on the other side of the sky.
