NEVERENDING

I died…

It was as simple as that…

Only, I wasn't greeted with pearly gates or a never-ending inferno…

Instead, I found myself standing in the middle of a desert…

Yeah, a complete and desolate landscape with sand…

And sand, with even more sand…

To top it all off, I was currently wearing my birthday suit…

To be more precise…

I was fucking naked…

Butt-ass naked, with my willie flopping around in the wind…

I blinked my eyes, and craned my head upwards, to stare at a blazing sun. No, instead of just one sun, I was currently staring at two. My mind reeled from the sudden realization, and I could feel my heart hammering within its cage

"Oh shit…"

I combed my fingers through my sand-covered hair…

"I don't think we are in Kansas anymore?"

I snorted at my own sentence…

It is ironic since I was driving to Kansas at the time of my death. There was a Comic-Con convention, and I was interested in it. So, packing up whatever I could find, I got into my truck and started my long and audacious trip to Kansas. A few cups of coffee and a red bull later, I was only a few hours away from my destination. Listening to some classic rock, I had neglected the idea to peek at my side mirrors before changing lanes. Long story short, I was rammed by an 18-wheeler and sent over the edge of a bridge. Instead of hitting the water, I was instead greeted with a plethora of large boulders. My vehicle exploded, engulfing me in its flames and sending me straight to where I am now.

Only, I had no clue where I was at...

I dropped my hands to my sides and nibbled the inside of my cheek in thought. I glanced at my surroundings but only saw sand, turning around, I was greeted with even more sand. Sighing, I decided that finding somewhere to live is better than tanning underneath two blazing suns. So, I started walking in a random direction, my feet digging into the sand as it crunched underneath my soles. Surprisingly, the sand wasn't scorching hot and was at a lukewarm level of tolerance. Feeling relieved slightly of not having my feet burnt, I continued my trek through the sandy wasteland.

"Fuck…I hope I don't meet anyone."

I glance down at my 'best friend…'

"I don't think I would make a very good first impression?"

(One long-ass walk later...)

I am getting a little bit thirsty…

I sighed, my voice cracking slightly due to my parched throat. I used my tongue to lick my lips, but it only caused them to split and begin to bleed. Annoyed, I kicked the sand in front of me, but it only resulted in the grans cutting against my toes. I winced in pain and watched as the skin on my toes started to bleed.

Slowly, I plopped down onto my back and laid against the warm sand. I had been walking for hours and was greeted with nothing but sand. Currently, the two suns were almost touching the horizon, and the sky was already starting to darken. The blazing heat had diminished, and a gentle cooling wind caressed my slightly burnt skin. I guess having some Native American in my ancestry gave me a boost against the rays.

As I continued to lay against the sand, I watched in silence as the light vanished and a starry sky appeared. I felt my eyes widen as the moons of this planet slowly came into view. There were three moons, the closest one being the largest, while the others gradually grew smaller due to distance. I felt the corners of my mouth curl as I stared in wonder at the foreign skies.

It is almost adventurous...

Being in a completely different world...

Yet, I could easily die due to ignorance…

I gave off another sigh and got to my feet, brushing the sand off my body in the process. As I dusted some specks of sand from my shoulder, I could feel a slight tingling sensation in my head. I frowned in response to it and opened and closed my jaw. My ears started to ring, and I got the sudden nagging feeling to start walking. As I stood there, the nagging feeling grew, along with the ringing within my eardrums. I shook my head, now a headache was beginning to erupt, and the ringing in my ears grew into throbbing.

"What the fuck…?"

I eventually felt my body moving forward as I grew into a daze. I grew into a panic, and I tried to resist the sudden involuntary movement of my body. Instead, I was gifted with an intense headache that practically sent me to my knees. I groaned in response and felt the throbbing in my ears grow as a massive migraine assaulted my senses. I felt something wet drip from my eyes and reached upwards with shaking hands. I touched what was wet and pulled my hands away to gaze at my fingers. Upon my fingertips was red blood that dribbled down my fingers and into the palm of my hand.

As I gawked at the blood in my hand, a searing pain erupted within my chest, and I gave off a startled gasp. I landed face first in the sand, as I suddenly started to have a seizure. I could not stop my body from shaking, and I could feel blood seeping into my mouth. The strong taste of iron touched my tongue, and the blood was now seeping from between my clenched teeth. Bright flashes of light danced in my vision, and a wave of unbearable pain racked my body. Before I knew it, my body lost all sense of feeling, and my mind quickly fell into unconsciousness.
