Empty

He then sat on the cold steel and leaned against the cold brick walls. He then looked up towards the sky and stared at the starless sky.

“ Even the stars are against me... ”

Not a star could be seen that night. He decided to go out. He left all the doors open, figuring that nobody would have any interest on anything inside he just left. He walked around town as usual. He saw bright lights emanating from the different buildings and shops. He saw many people walking around. In his direction and against. He just looked at them, a glance or just plain staring at them. He saw couples, children’s, families, friends, he saw every conceivable type of person there was in the crowd of normal people. One thing he didn't see was someone like him.

“ They’re still dead... ”

In the midst of the crowds of people he just kept passing them, he kept walking against them, and with them. Until there were no more to see. He reached the edge of their town where a grassy field used to be. Now only patches of green was seen. He then rested himself against the soft land beneath him He stared at the still starless sky and just allowed himself to be eaten by the solitude surrounding him. He lost all cares to the world.

He just stared at the sky. Dark and starless. It was just empty, much like the feeling inside of him. He was empty. An emotionless shell, much like the starless sky. Confusion and unknown much like the cloudy night. But unknown to him, a small ember was still burning inside his heart. A small flame that kept lit the night. He might not know it yet but surely a small fire still burned inside of him. He just rested there and hummed himself to sleep.
