The Vessel: Emptiness

The Vessel: Emptiness
(Requested by Anonymous)




>Meaninglessness.
>It's all I've ever really thought of my life.
>All I've ever known or felt. Ever since I was 'discarded'.
>If I recall correctly.
>For the longest time. I felt nothing. No joy. No pain. Not the slightest hint of any emotion
>Just… emptiness.
>...could that itself be a feeling?
>If so, then that was all I had ever known. But I was none the wiser to know.
>Until I was created.
>All of a sudden, I went from nothing to… being filled with all these strange feelings.
>Sadness. Happiness. Hopefulness. Hopelessness. Fear… Hatred… kindness and love.
>All these things I never felt before, just… all at once, filling my entire being with these emotions.
>It felt like I had a SOUL as they called it...
>...
>I wish it would have lasted longer.
>I wish I could feel such things again.
>Perhaps that's why I'm drawn to this place… this quaint little town.
>The grayish human stepped out of the forest that overlooked Hometown, stepping in the middle of the empty paved road.
>I'm sure I can find some answers here. Maybe.
>The human then grinned.
>...but as someone once told me…
>It probably won't matter at all in the end
>Yet, with these thoughts in mind
>The Vessel continued to walk down the road, heading down towards the town before him.
