For Hours and Hours and Hours
For Hours and Hours and Hours “Its all your fault, don’t deny it.” he was calm collected and obviously aware of the victory to come.
“No... I did nothing,” my sister yelled at him, oblivious to how childish she sounded, rage was hidden in her voice.
Honestly I don't know why she stays with him, they argue when nothing is wrong. He can’t even support himself, I don't know why she tolerates him forgetting dates and birthdays. She could do so much better, but I guess shes afraid to lose him.
When I come back to reality she is curled up on the couch, crying. Mumbling about how she shouldn't have lost her temper, and said such terrible things.
“Sis, ok, what's wrong?”
“‘Sis’, he always used to call me sis, why did I have make such a stupid mistake!”
“Honestly I think-”
“You and all your opinions! Why don’t you just get out of here!”
Slam.
Huh, just walk it off. There is nothing to be worried about, nothing. I sat down at the edge of a tall rocky cliff that was overlooking the ocean at high tide. I was completely amazed on how fulfilled I could be sitting on the edge of the earth, a dangerous place where one mistake could be your demise. We can search forever for fulfillment, but never find it because, we never look. We never look where it counts, straight in front of us. History, can and will repeat itself, and like sheep, we will follow each other off the face of the cliff, without a second thought, unable to make the connection between it and death.
We all want something better than we already have. We want what others have, and some will get it at whatever means necessary. They are focused, sharpening themselves so they have an edge, little do they know that others are sneaking up behind them, waiting for the perfect opportunity to stab them in the back. All to take their place, unaware that history will repeat itself. The world has bad people, but in every diseased apple tree, there is a perfect apple, hiding, camouflaged on one of the limbs. But

    Have you ever wondered where you would be if you would have chosen another path? Have you ever wondered how that choice could have changed your life if you would have made it? Often I look back and think about my past and look at the places I have been and the things I have done. Some things I’m not proud of. Some of those things bring back vague memories. Whether they are good or bad they still come back to me. Everything we do is based upon choices. After we make those choices there comes consequences. We can never decide our consequences, they just come.…

    The cashier at the gas station admires the business man that comes in everyday in his crisp suit, as the janitor of a building admires that famous actress on TV. We are all trying to attain that next material thing; whether it is job or a new set of rims on our car we think things will bring us happiness. We let others put a value to the definition of success, and then we run after that. What we don't realize is that even if we did attain what they define as success, once we attained it they would push the bar up and find something new that would the new measure of success. It is like the saying goes we are always trying to "keep up with the Jones'".…

    As I leapt from the window of the dreaded vessel, I vowed I would never be privileged to see the sun as it rose anew. I thought of the past. I pictured my creator and I admired the picture of my fated self-destruction. Death did not scare me. How could it possibly when I already embodied the anatomy of a corpse so fully? Yes, this would be enough for me. To expire upon the diamond plains with the northern waves buried below me was the moonlit future I longed most for. My life had been altogether exhausted of breath and I, its humble advocate, was thoroughly depleted of any remaining will to gratify its pleas of invitation into the world that had so quickly recoiled from my hideous stature. This was to be how it ended. I had now outlasted the only identity that had ever attended to my entity at all. How could one conceivably carry on their everyday occupations without a single remaining acquaintance in the uncut span of the world? I longed for animation’s kiss of farewell as I departed forever from the hatred and confinement of this world. I advanced upwards along an icecap I had recently encountered as I continued my journey into death’s grip of acceptance. I knew full well I would not be missed. Not a soul among me had even granted me the gift or humanity of identity. I walked, nameless, among the masses of earth’s vast expanses. I was unknown, unneeded, and utterly and undeniably alone. As I neared my final resting place, a thought passed through me: What if instead of ended my existence in darkness and solitude, I exerted forth a flame to carry me on past this life? And thus was decided my fate would be that of eternal fire, for darkness was all I had ever been entreated to know of. Reaching the apex of the mountain, I removed my flint and steel from my right waistcoat pocket and struck the two together with such force that I did not know if the rocks would remain intact to themselves. When no spark ignited, I grew impatient and enraged. I must be the only being…

    A mere twenty minutes later, I was exhausted. The sun had burst through the clouds and was basking the mountainside in violent light. I was roasting in the safety of my outer shell. As my once confident steps became desperate shuffles, I began to understand that my end was near. But I had a goal to achieve, and so I fought to deny what I knew to be true. Soon, I fell back and separated from the group. It was then that the guide made his move. He swooped down on me, looked me in the eye, and told me it was…
