Prologue: There I lay in the void— alone. just me and my thoughts in a boundless, white expanse. A limitless space... Such an interesting concept. It’s hard to imagine that anything could really go on without end. Something that, no matter how far you go, you will never reach the end of. It feels like it should be impossible for anything like that to exist. Yet here I am: in an unending space, with an endless amount of time, living an infinite life— but, is it truly infinite? If I go far enough, will I reach the end of this void? If I wait too long, will I eventually run out of time? …And if I live long enough, will I inevitably die? They say nothing lasts forever, yet it feels like I’ll never reach the end— Which I suppose should be a good thing… Yet here I am… hoping that one day I will reach the end of my story… because you can’t have a happy ending if the story doesn’t have a conclusion. Chapter 1 I get up and look around, remembering I had blacked out while I was in the void… I really should sleep more often. Anyways, I guess I’ll go and visit Earth. At least then I will have something to do… I reach down, pick my top hat from the ground, and put it on. But where should I go? A froyo sounds pretty nice. I walk through the bustling market, weaving around people and searching for a good froyo vendor. All the constant noise and movement is a little overwhelming, to be honest. I just want something to help me relax right now, besides, who doesn’t like a good fr- My thoughts are interrupted when I feel myself walk into someone. I stumble back a little, my eyes widening slightly in surprise. Once I regain my balance I look forward, and see someone in a brown striped top hat who, surprisingly, isn’t taller than me. “Oh, uh—sorry for bumping into ya.” They stared at me for a moment, their expression unreadable. They opened their mouth to say something, before deciding against it and kept walking. Huh… I wonder what they were going to say. I notice a shank had fallen out of the guy’s neatly kept suit pocket. Huh… well isn’t that something? I pick it up and scan the crowd, trying to see if I can still catch a glimpse of him. I spot his hat among all the people. I walk over to him to return the knife. “Hey! You uh.. you dropped this!” He seemed not to notice me yet. He just continued walking, hands shoved in his pockets. Once I catch up I gently tap him on the shoulder to get his attention. “Hey, uh… you kinda dropped this.” I say as I hand him the knife—Holding it by the blade with the handle pointed in his direction. He stares at me with that same unreadable expression before grinning like an idiot and snatching the knife, a bit too roughly. Pulling it from my hand before I can let go of the blade. “Thanks mate!” He waved and walked away, resting his hands in his pockets once more. I look down at my hand and see it’s bleeding. Huh… interesting… I shrug it off as I turn around, finally spotting the perfect place to get froyo.
