THE DARKNESS :

So many people had differing concepts of death and life. Sometimes a few of them could scratch the bare surface of what those words meant. Its been a dilemma for thousands years if not the very beginning of life itself.

Everyone and everything were chained to a mundane existence by their own mortality, their own view of life and what it represented. I know I have tried………and I have failed.

My life used to be the most important thing I had, I cherished it and was determined to live it to the fullest. That is until my life became more than just my own. Until I had to share its importance with the woman I came to love, and the daughter who gave meaning to my life.

Such things were lost to me in mere moments. Flickering …show more content…

My mind could not wander neither could my body move. I was stuck watching fire burn, stuck watching fire grow, trapped watching fire eat and take everything that I lived for. It was ironic, I lost everything because of how much I loved life. Now I wish I was never born.

Before all this, before the darkness, before the silence I used to be somebody. My name was……my name was. Well I don’t remember my name, but I was wealthy. I was a gamer, a professional and an enigma. Back where i was from, the best at what I did came from big countries like America, Japan or China. It was quite surprising that a no name street kid from Nigeria west Africa would be able to stand at the pinnacle of the gaming entertainment circle.

I activated a system lock down of our house trapping everyone in it. But I was able to get my daughter out. With everything she would need to survive in this world, her world now. My little girl had no idea that her father had no plans of coming back out.

I ran back into the house, blinded by grief and rage. I was not going to let my wife die alone, I was going to make sure each and everyone of those men went down with me. With the house on lock down no body could get out. And then I set everything on fire, took my wife to the bedroom that had been our home for the whole of our married life. I lay her almost headless corpse on the bed, and I laid there right beside her, with her body in my arms as flames and men raged and screamed in a fiery blaze of destruction and lost dreams.
