Huh?

Where am I?

I opened my eyes, the scene didn't change.

It was dark, pitch black, cold the same.

"Hello?"I cried out, scared and afraid.

There was no reply.

No one.

Nothing.

Trembling, I stood up and headed forward. Where was forward? I didn't know.

"Tak tak" the empty sound of my footsteps resounded towards nothing.

There was no echo. Meaning there was nothing nearby. 

Why am I walking ?

Where?

How long more?

Meaningless questions flooded my brain. As a sense of emptiness perpetrated through my body.

Who am I?

At the thought of that, my body stopped. Wait, did I have a body? What am I? Who am i ? Why am I here?

This desperate sense of urgency rushes into my body as i meaninglessly tormented myself with all this questions. 

I kneeled, my head hurting from my own questions. My desperate search for an answer, in the end leading to nothing but a sense of desperation that swept through my very being.

Keep moving.

Why? I questioned myself.

I had nothing. I stand on nothing. There was nothing near me. I have no goals, no name, no home, no light, no warmth, no memories,no anything. Just nothing.

As I gave in to despair and crumbled on my own to the face of the reality of nothing ,wallowing myself in self pity. Slowly, I faded. My consciousness faded. My vision faded. Did it? I couldn't see nothing after all.

.......

...

..

Once again I awoke. 

Setting a goal of reaching something.

I headed  forward.

I carried on. 

I advanced.

Time passed, days , hours seconds?

Did time exist?

Was it nothing but a concept?

What's a concept?

I headed forward towards the nothingness from nothingness.

When I tire I'll lay down to rest.

Each time I awake, I hoped for something.

Each time I slept , I hoped to dream.

Dream of what?

Of something.

Time passes by quickly. Each and everyday. As yet again I headed forth towards nothing.

I trudged.

I ran.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

I sprinted.

Slowly but surely, the nothingness etches itself into my very existence.

Why do I run?

Why do I seek 'something'?

Why do I try?

As time passes. I gave in. Just suddenly, out of the blue. I laid down and didn't want to move. Just lying down there as time slowly passes.

MOVE!

My insides screamed.

Who was it? I know. It was me. 

Why did I want to move? I was searching.

Searching for something?

No I was searching.

I have to find it.

I want to find it.

I need to find it.

Dragging the body I dwell within, I headed towards where my legs could carry me.

……

…

Dominic woke up.

The sun shone through the peaks between his curtains as he headed towards the toilet.

"Have a nice day!"he waved at his parents as he made his way to school.

It was the breeze of spring as Dominic felt the winds rushing against his face as he ran towards the train station.

~~~

"Bětur station, now arriving at bětur station".the automated train announcement resounded through the buzzling train.

Dominic got off the train and headed towards his school.

"Hey hey late as always aren't you?"teased his classmate as she floated next to him.

Dominic who was running with all his might had no time to respond towards her.

"Gate closes in 5,4"the PE teacher announced at the front gate.

"Iron man is in charge today?!"exclaimed Dominic in his mind.

"3"

"2"

"1"

Dominic barely slipped into the closing gate. His head filled with sweat perspiring at an unusual rate in this cool spring breeze.

"Nice one Usain Bolt" laughed the annoying childhood friend next to him. Katie.

Without replying, Dominic sighed and headed forwards towards his first class in highschool.

~~

"Stand"

"Greet"

"Good morning Mr David"

The monotonous class begins with the usual monotonous greeting.

"Alright, seeing as this is our first lesson and all, how about an introduction?"the happily smiling teacher with the bedhead and untrimmed hair announced.

"Alright!so starting from index number 1......"

His voice faded as Dominic looked out of the window, hoping for something interesting to happen.

"My name is Katie! I specialize in telekinesis"the bright and overflowing smile emitting from a certain brown haired girl, causes the attention of everyone to be drawn towards her.

Then it was his turn.

"Dominic,"he bowed and said his name in a low and dull voice.

No one really paid attention anyways, due to the certain attention a certain Brown haired girl was drawing.

~~

"Ding dong" the bell went off.

"Remember to submit your club application form this Friday"reminded Mr David.

School's out. 

"Hey,hey,"a certain Katie stuck herself on Dominic's arm. "You wanna see the clubs this school has together?"asked in her usual happy tone.

"Sure?"replied Dominic in his usual dull voice.

This scene drew the attention of most of the boys in the class. 

Noticing their glare , Dominic thought it would be better to make up an excuse to run off now, but was dragged off by Katie shouting:"let's go let's go!"

~~

At the basketball club, Dominic was glared at.

At the soccer club, Dominic was glared at.

At the game creation club, Dominic was glared at.

While being oblivious to all of this, Katie happily dragged him around by his arm , visiting from club to club.

"Hey hey! That looks nice !" Katie said as she pointed at the planetarium made by the art club.

Dragging Dominic along, they made their way inside.

And while admiring the image of stars in the night sky of the planetarium, Dominic was once again glared at.

"They are pretty aren't they?"smiled Katie as she held on tightly on Dominic's arm.

"Ye.. yeah"he replied.

And he was once again dragged out by Katie yet again.

The whole afternoon was spent as Dominic was dragged from one club to the other.

~~~

The scene changes as two people took a sip from their coffee at a nearby café.

"So.. I think that the art club is the best! What about you?" Like an energetic child, Katie pressed on towards Dominic while being excited and moving up and down along with the bouncing of her breasts.

Trying not to look at the mountains, Dominic endured his urge and looked straight to her face.

"Well I think so too"Dominic,replied.

Having not actually placed any thoughts into it.

"So let's join it together!"said Katie as she hurriedly took out the club application form.

"Dominic you too!"said Katie as she took it out from Dominic's bag and filled in for him.

"Really...just like a young child"thought Dominic as he smiled at Katie.

Noticing his smile, Katie brightly smiled back.

~~~

~~

~

"I'm home!" Announced Dominic towards his mother cooking in the kitchen.

"Would you like dinner?"

"Sure"

Dominic sat down on the dining table.

Opposite sat his little brother at the young age of 4.

"Brobro attack!"Said the brother of a different father as he boarded Dominic's head.

Having been influenced by way too much robot anime, the younger brother,paul, commanded his brother on top of his head.

"Bang bang" Dominic played along.

~~~

"Let's eat!"the energetic father announced.

Everyone in the family of 4 started to dig in.

~~

"Ahhh" Dominic made sound effects as he got his brother to open his mouth.

"Plop" as the food went inside.

Of course, what he fed him was porridge. Seeing as only his front two teeth had developed.

Which was rather slow for his age.

~~

"So hows school?"the father asked Dominic.

"You know it don't you? Right David?"the son teased the foster father.

An awkward silence permeates through the atmosphere.

 The innocent Paul broke the silence by announcing for more food.

"Ahh! ahh! Brobro moarr"the innocent brother tugged on the sleeve of his brother's uniform.

"So still won't call me dad huh?"the father sighs to himself.

~~~~

Dinner ended and Dominic went back up to wash up and sleep.

====

"Bang!bang!" The clouds thundered in the middle of the night.

Dominic awoke and got out of his bed. Only to discover he wasn't at his house anymore...

It was a plain empty grass field, in the middle of the forest.

Other than him, others too, were starting to get out of their beds...
