Narrative Essay On Nothingness

Improved Essays
"The feeling of nothingness isn't the nicest feeling, then again, how would one know what it feels like, if it feels like nothing?

How does one explain what feeling like nothing feels like? Do you feel sad? Scared? Angry? A mix of all these emotions?

I could show you if you like. Just follow me to the edge of the cliff but beware, the ground can be slippery. I wouldn't want you falling into nothingness the way I did.

Before you get too close to the edge, let me explain what nothingness felt like when I was falling down. It felt like there was never going to be an end, unless I ended it myself. But instead of ending it there and then I kept falling, in hopes there would be some light at the bottom that would lead me right up to the top of the cliff. Almost instantly I saw a light. That light was my best friend Keith. He helped me up once I reached the bottom. But all lights fade eventually. Keith was kind of like the battery for me. Keeping me functional until he ran out of power.

Walking around the house I used to call home once more, I take in every possible detail before entering the bathroom, the last room I will ever see. Opening the mirror, I took out my father's sleeping pills then close the mirror. As I grabbed a glass of water, I take a look at my reflection. Who knew something so sad could look so peaceful. Taking the lid off the pills, I take one out and roll it around my fingers for a bit before placing it on my tongue, then taking a sip of the water and swallowing it. I continued to take a singular pill every minute before I finally started to feel drowsy.

Looking at my reflection for the last time, I sat down on the bathroom floor. My eyelids were getting heavier by the second and I could see lights in the corner of my eyes.

"This is it." I said to myself. I blinked once more, before closing my eyes, and never opening them

    I’ve fallen through the earth and landed someplace I cannot see. It is endlessly dark, so dark that I cannot tell whether my eyes are open or closed, though I’m fairly certain that they are open, I think. A few experimental blinks later and I can confirm the openness of my eyes. It is cold here, and I appear to be sitting on some kind of rock. My muscles are locked in place, I’m too scared, too confused to move.…

    I knew something was horribly wrong when I woke up on a lemon shaped inner-tube in a sea of squishy macaroni and cheese. Ever since I was little, the smell, texture, and pretty much everything about macaroni and cheese disgusted me. Cheese was meant to be sprinkled on top of noodles, not engulf them. Looking around at the yellow encrusted rocks and the velveeta cheese waterfalls, I felt like I was living a real life nightmare. Just over the ledge I could see what appeared to be a giant drop off.…

    Everyone stares at me as if I just told them I like to strangle puppies in my free time. I finally start to look around at the people, I mean really look, they are all dressed like they live in medieval times, I mean it is hot and they are wearing full length skirts, long sleeved tunics, and corsets, the whole shebang. I can barely keep myself from laughing out loud. Did I somehow drop into a renaissance fair or some freaky group of larpers? * Dripping wet I try to step out of the fountain and slip on the paved ground, a small boy runs up to grab my hand and lifts me back up.…
