It was black, it was nothingness. I barely had the capacity to realize I was conscious. I was so far away from everything. So very far away. I could just barely make out whispered sounds in the distance. Try as I might, I could not get closer. In fact, it felt like I was getting farther away. I was drifting into the abyss.

  Soon even the sound slipped away beyond my ability to perceive it. I was alone, disconnected from everything. There was nothing to stimulate my senses other than thought.

  It was the first time I had felt afraid.

  Likely, I was ceasing to be. Losing each of my senses one by one. Soon the thoughts would fade as well, and I could already feel them becoming weaker. Could I exist within absolute nothingness?

  I think not. Something inside me told me this was the end.

  The end.

  The end.

  I wished I could have seen them grow more. The greedy one was not them, it was me.

  I hoped that my last act as their Overseer helped them in all the trials and tribulations ahead. I knew family was important for that, like mine had been for me. Had I had a family once?

  The end.

  It would have been nice if I did.

  The end.

  Goodbye my lizards.

  The end.

  Will I see you Strong Light?

  The end.

  Little Leader?

  The end.

  The end.

  The end?
