Chapter Two: The end
It never ends.
Dawn breaks, and the sun comes, shining brightly up in the sky. The day ends, and darkness fills the land as it sleeps in peace. Seasons come in all their splendor, and they go as quietly as they could when the time is up.
And life goes on.
But as my eyes look down upon the multitude of people busily moving about like agitated ants, I couldn't help but shed tears. Not of joy, not of sorrow, but because of the bitterness welling up inside my heart. Bitterness, caused by jealousy, immense envy, that I have against the occupants of this mortal world.
Bitterness, because they can get out of this endless cycle that trapped me since the beginning of time.
Bitterness, because at any moment, something will take them away from this never-ending circle, from this infinite absurdity, from this earth.
Bitterness, because they can die.
Why can't I?
Why don't I try then?
I stand now at the pinnacle of this speck of land's tallest structure, to put my immortality to the test. When I step into this abyss, will death come and take me away from this endless labyrinth, this cruel fate? Or will it spare me, and lift me up from the ground that can break me?
One step. Just one step will do, and this endless search for the impossible will end.

I. Am. Sorry.
Really, I am. And so, I decided to post not one but two chapters for this time. Ok?
And… how to read this… well, there are two stories, both using the first person, but I think it's easy to distinguish one from the other so…there.
Bow.
