Life of Darkness!

Tick! Tick Tick!

With each second as the sound of the clock ticking echoed in my room, I knew I was approaching the end.

End of my life!

A life lived in a vein, a life full of regrets, a life with ample loneliness, and a life that is filled with darkness.

Yes, Darkness!

As someone who was an orphan and blind at that, without any ounce of the ability to see my whole life was filled to the brim with darkness.

Who were my parents? did they abandon me because I was born blind? or they died?

sadly I never knew the answer to these things...

As I grew up I got a job as a phone operator in a company. The salary was less but I was pleased with it.

But in the end, society never accepted me!

Not a single person that I can call a friend. And I did not even find any love in my life!

Love?

It's a far-fetched concept for me that I don't understand. As a fully blind person, I was never able to see the opposite gender. And it's not like I had any chance to touch someone of the opposite gender. Then how can I love someone? For me, a woman is someone who sounds pleasant to the ears. That's all...

And then was I even worthy of being loved?

I was blind! and added to that I was poor. And maybe I even looked ugly as hell...

No wonder no one took the initiative to talk to me in my life...

But as I got older, it became more difficult to do daily tasks. And now lying down on my bed in the small room with a pungent smell I am counting my final hours.

Maybe If I eat something I can live more but, all the food store is emptied and my old bones do not have any ounce of energy to go out and buy something. And also it's not like I have any money left!

With each passing second my body became colder and my heartbeat slowed down. Laying on this deathbed without a single soul beside me...

As the saying goes the value of a person's life can be measured by the tears shared by the loved ones on his deathbed! In that sense, my life was truly worthless.

But soon it will be the end. End of my suffering, loneliness, and the eternal end of this darkness that lies before me...

What will I find in the afterlife?

Maybe a light that will guide me to the afterlife or even more darkness?

As I clung to the slight hope of colors in my afterlife, my consciousness slowly but surely became vivid and before I knew it, I drifted to the afterlife!
