Throwaway

When you're so close to making a mistake, to falling into the ground, to feeling like there is no way out but this, do you take it? Your life is perfect, you have everything you could ever dream of wanting, but you want more. You want everything, everything that you could possibly have. Everything that God created, you want. You forget what's in your hand to reach out to the forbidden fruit. Reason and logic desert you in your manic search for everything, your desire to possess insurpassable power. You take it, and everything turns to dust, everything in your hand crumbles and falls to the ground, worthless and dead. You turn back with your heart in your mouth, knowing that the world as you know it is turning against you, faster and faster. The pillars of light in the distance darken, and fade. Malice, pain, suffering, death and hatred fly into your soul, and despair takes over. You fall, fall for what seems eternity, and then just ask you think that the ground will never come, it shatters your spine. Writhing in bodily pain, you scream, and yell, and no one comes to help. You're drowning in a pool of quick sand. Your lungs fill with sand as you scream in terror. No one comes.
