Am i still falling

The night sky is filled with stars with the moon at its peak. Staring up at it i seem to have been lost in the beauty of the moonlight and a single thought escaped my mind.

'death doesn't feel as bad as i thought'

I couldn't move my body because i have lost too much blood yet the moonlight seems to distract me from it all, the feeling of coldness overtaking my body. Death came creeping in slowly at this point even the light from the moon was turning blurry. Memories flowed through my mind,from the death of my father to my dropping out in the academy then working at the construction company,more and more things to appear until there was nothing more to see. I came to a conclusion 

'What a boing life i have lived. Failure after failure but i kept pushing, that is the reason am dying now i kept hoping for the best from the people around me and i kept falling. Maybe death ain't so bad.At the very end i will die a hero, I feel content'

Darkness seemed to cover everything and at that moment i felt myself disappearing. Realising there was nothing after death no angel to take me to heaven, no afterlife awaiting me heck even demon would better than being absorbed by the darkness. That's when it click 

'It was foolish of me to think am a hero. I saw a girl being dragged by some guy in the alleyway. I wanted some recognition that no one seemed to give me. A construction worker who dropped out. So went to the rescue'

Running to the alley the man was on top of the girl who is around 15 years. See what was going on i dashed and swung my fist a the guy.He seemed to have heard me approaching and rolled ahead to avoid attack. Looking at girl i saw her shirt was torn revailing a sizable bust for a girl her age. Seizing the chance the girl picked herself up and run out of the alley without even giving me a look. She seemed more frightened by the man. Watching her leave i released i might not get the recognition i wanted. I was pulled out of my regret by a sharp pain in my lower back. The pain was so much i couldn't help but scream

Erik"Aaahhhhhh".

I fell to the ground as whatever had been used to stab me was pulled out. The pain made me realise why the girl was so frightened. I turn to see my attacker which seemed to worsen the wound as more blood seeped out of it. it made me think that maybe my time has come but the thing that annoyed me more was the look on that bastard's face since he seem more angered that his prey escaped. I could tell he wants to cut me up bit by bit couldn't since the girl would return with the cops. Giving me a one last look he turn to run and i could here him say " I hope you rot in hell".

Looking back at maybe hell wouldn't be so bad. I could feel myself coming to an end but at that moment just as i had given up i so a light. something igniting in me as i immediately pushed forward. Moving within the darkness i realise the light didn't get any closer no matter how much i walked. It seemed even death was playing a cruel trick on me and yet i kept moving fearing it would disappear. I realised my mind is becoming slower no to be precise i am slowly forgetting things. This made me put more energy on moving to the light. Time past but no matter how hard i moved the light stayed put, i noticed i can't remember my name or where i came from and the only thing on my mind is the light is the only way out. I questioned myself

'Why am i moving to the light'

My mind seemed to find the answer

'Because it's the way out'

I looked at the light knowing i will never reach it. I stop and turned back then saw an abyss of darkness to get darker the more i stare. I wanted nothing more than to turn back but i knew the moment i see the light i will keep moving forward like a fool to for eternity. So i took a step into the darkness and realised there was there was no platform to step. Part of me seemed to regret my decision as i fell, i turned upwards and so some thing incredible and terrifying.

Countless roads of platforms light hanged up and different ghost like beings walked on them, the platforms move along with them. Another thing was that new platforms continuously formed and more souls fell for the sky onto them. Put one thing was clear there are more souls than the platforms, and only one soul per platform. Those without continued to fall into the darkness and disappear.

Yet i noticed that occasionally some souls would disappear along with there platforms, it made me realise if i kept moving i would reach the light eventually. Once again regret creeped in as i knew the darkness would take me, resigning myself to my fate i waited for the end.

Looking at more souls falling and something click 

'Am i still falling'

Turning to my right souls passed by me and descended.
