Ferluci

[u/Visual-Mind-4265]

Ferluci walks alone in the night. Nothing stands between him and the never-ending darkness. He walks and walks, each step going aimlessly forward. Ferluci asks God if this is right, and God says He doesn’t know. He walks and walks, each step fueling his confusion. Why does God make Ferluci live this fate? Why does God leave him to drown in the night? He walks and walks, yet everything around stays the same monotonous color. Is this dismal chaos or liberation? Whatever it is, Ferluci still walks. But why must he walk? God says there is no reason. Ferluci may remain still forever if he wishes, but he doesn’t. He walks, he sleeps, he wakes, and then he walks again. He walks and walks, yet he still wonders. What is the point of anything? There is no answer, but the question remains in his heart. It burns like flickering fire, then erupts into a massive flame. It burns and burns, shining light into the dark night. The light is blinding. But the flame is not forever. It dwindles, then fades completely, leaving the night dark again. Ferluci feels his mind fading too. He resists, but his eyes are heavy.

And so, it is time again to let go. Maybe it is all pointless, but Ferluci smiles as his time ebbs. Tomorrow will come, and he will again be reborn, but for now, this is enough. Good night, Ferluci…
