Yet who alive will speak of us more than rumor?
“I look, and behold! A lifetime of toil, of pain, and endless struggle was upon us. It was us who liberated and the reason these fair people live yet free. Where are we in their heart? The man, he was correct, for even my love’s great sacrifice… great cause… is lost in time.
“I saw but a few lines in theory, yet my friends, O lover of mine—dead and buried only to be afforded one twinge of attention! I would give up my life, my very soul to return thee to me, or me to thee!
Then he was in a different locale, for the stars and the worlds surrounded him. Before him one such world opened up, the earth, moaning deeply into the vast purple cosmos. Its moan could not be increased in its heinous terror.
“The times have needed not you, for you art dead! Corpses are your loved ones! What does it matter to us? For even if thou words art true, what does it change to us? Not one heart believes in you, thus not one influence have you made. If not one brain contains you, then you never existed at all.”
And then it dawned, no came—the ambient sound of the universe. It was terrifying, a feeling of intimidation that a human heart should not contain nor feel. Then the Earth, which spoke to him, was strewn a half lit sphere ahead. The great space surrounded from all sides, and darkness. Repus, the wraith of the times, was the one whom extended his hand to the earth.
No one believes we existed… then nothing we did happened… It maters not that the Earth would be all but gone without me, since I am remembered not, I never did it!
He became as a child, weeping and wishing for a fantasy that would come to sooth the realities. Have a princess or fairy to take it all away. Yet this was a reality—the slow pull from the earth, into the limitless seas of the void.
Will I meet the sun, my son? His mind cried. Will the bluebirds sing? What of my wife, my life? Will she smile for me?
There was no answer. There would never be an answer. He closed his eyes, drifting alone. And drift he went, for all of eternity.
