oblivion

oblivion.

it sounds like a simple word.

there is no meaning to it. no purpose. no yearning to know.

that is, until you know what it is.

the simple whisper overwhelms everything.

why does it lurk over thoughts and shadows and feelings?

because, we are afraid.



♢
author's note:

yes, most of you may think of two words when you saw the title.

it was Augustus Waters, wasn't it?

yes, I was inspired to write a story based on Augustus' speech on fearing oblivion.

and yes, I know this story will never compare to the works of john green and other talented writers, but...

be oblivious. it can be good. sometimes.

for instance, you do not know if this story will be worth your time. you do not know what happens.

so, conquer these wisps of oblivion, and click chapter one.

yours truly,
