I walk across the terrace, of a gloomy building. it should look glorious, the marble should shine, the paintings should be vibrant. But it's just not. Everything I focus on loses substance. Everything I touch fades away.
There is a woman some where, or the specter of one. I try to find comfort in her voice, i try to cling to this presence, but it slips through my fingers, and disapears when I try harder.
Time has no rule here, it is never night, and never day. The past all looks like the present, and how can my future ever change ?
I drown in futility.
Then I try once more what I have done countless times. I walk back out side, the ground, if such it can be called, is hundreds of feet below. I grip the railing, and try to gaze into the distance. There is nothing to see, shapes, possibilitys, taunt me. But there is nothing there.
I jump. No air rushes past me, my heart beat does not quicken. when I hit the ground, nothing happens. I stay numb. I stand and look back at the building I have leapt from, but rather than go back I turn away.
Into my hell, into infinity. Nothing but waste and despair before me... At least I have left the past behind.
