Eternity

by tonsostuff

People say they want to be immortal. They want to live forever, to never die.

I wish I could die.

This is forever. Never ending.

Silent. Dark. Heavy.

I wish I could die.

Rose Tyler. That's my name. At least, I'm pretty sure it is. Or was.

Names are meaningless here.

There is nothing to do here. I float in empty space, doing nothing, heading nowhere. Time does not exist here. I may have been here for a minute or a thousand years. I can't tell anymore.

Constantly, I repeat what remains of my memories in my mind. They are frayed now, almost reduced to nothing. Adventures that used to scare me until I thought I was going to die are now only faint, blurred images in my head. Experiences I used to love and treasure have all but disappeared.

My life is worth nothing now.

I wish I could die.

I am cold. That is one of the few things I can feel. I have been cold this entire time, wandering through emptiness forever.

I don't think I'll ever smile again. I did, in the beginning. Trying to keep my feelings up. Trying to keep hoping that someone would come. Anyone.

But the thing is, one day, you'll find out that no one's coming.

That you're alone.

That no one can save you.

It's dark here. You can't even see your hand in front of your face. I don't even remember how I look like and the images of those I used to know are just blurs on a canvas of a previous life.

This is eternity.

I wish I could die.
