Free Fall!

“Free fall, into an abyss, he imagined and bent himself. He imagined falling down and down, till he reaches end of it, end of darkness, darkness which has kept that abyss filled, filled yet a vacuum loomed around. They define it as dark matter in space, such fascinating object, something that couldn’t be seen, heard, touched, or just couldn’t be felt at all yet responsible for existence of all matters, they say it defines our masses-he heard. He imagined such object around him, what defines him, what is responsible for his existence and his free fall continued, into that abyss filled with darkness.

When you are happy, you do not want to be sad; but when you are sad you crave for sadness even more. You do not want to get over It immediately, you start to enjoy it as if something precious, you want to hold onto it for a little longer, you hold it closer to your heart and feel it for as long as possible before it suddenly disappears leaving you as if a stranger who just spent a night with you and was gone even before dawn could take center stage and whisper in your ear – ‘it’s gone’

Free fall, he felt himself gathering speed and falling at faster pace, at first it felt exciting as if a ride through vacant highway; you enjoy the speed and thrill, but soon he knew he had no control over himself any more, he was being pulled away, pulled down at lightning speed. Pressure was rising and so was vacuum in that dark abyss, he felt himself being pulled apart in pieces, he felt to scream but to no good, for there did not exist any sound. He knew it instantly and gave up any resistance he had thought of then, probably he knew resisting it would only make it harder for him to fall through, for it was his own desire to jump over and fall, why to resist it now?

Temptation to feel, it is the real killer, let it be anything. Once an image forms in your mind and you feel an impulse to go through it – there’s no stopping. It is often a one way ride, there’s no turning back, either because you even didn’t want to or because you know you cannot. He knew it too; he knew this was a ride which would either bring a life out of it or would destroy whatever essence was left 

around.

Free fall and He saw his shadow watching him from the edge.”
