The Calm Before The Fall
/271/365
Don’t know how long it’s been. Feels like months. Perhaps years.
I’ve… not starved. What does it mean? Am I even alive?
At the beginning the pain of starvation felt as though it would never end. Lost consciousness many times but always woke up. And then all sensation receded allowing me to enjoy the prison.
This ever stretching electric funhouse, is it hell? Was I a monster in my previous life? Was there a previous life? This might be the universe. A wall of concrete on one end and a wall of copies of me on the other.
They’ve never talked. The only ones out of their tanks are dead. The hall never ends. Either wall never ends.
And I can’t die. For weeks I attempted to cause trauma to my head. The blunt force of the concrete wall was excruciating at first, but that too faded until no sensation remained.
Now I just walk. I don’t know how long it’s been, but I walk. A Straight line down the hall of infinity. I step around the bodies of the dead copies.
I’m the only copy alive as far as I know.
