Chapter 1 - The Afterlife

The Afterlife



What happens after death?

In every religion they say that there is something after it.

Be it reincarnation, a peaceful sanctuary, or even a burning hell.

We are thought to believe that we will go there.

That we will live on in some way or form.



But that's not good enough.

There is no real evidence to support or prove this.

Sure we are supposed to believe in what our god(s) teaches.

My mother says it every time I ask her.

She says to have faith and to just believe and never doubt.



But I do doubt.

It scares me, not knowing.

To think that there might be nothing after death.

Just darkness, emptiness, non-existence.

How does one not know and be able to cope with it.

I am even brought to tears when I think of it sometimes.

Of total darkness.

Trying to fathom what it might be like.

To feel nothing but emptiness.



I am afraid of death.

Not of the pain it might bring.

Not of what I have or have not done during my life.

But of what comes after.

Of the unknown that death takes us to.

Of the unknown that might not even exist.



That, is what I'm afraid of.
