Slight thriller (sort of)
The sky was darker than night.
Daytime was cast in a terribly beautiful shadow.
Everything we had assumed we knew of the universe was tested that day.
A huge zipper forged itself into the very fabric holding the horizons together.
There was a horrific sound emanating from the sky rip.
My mind was in a frenzy.
Ideas were synthesized inside of me as if my mind had become a clandestine meth lab.
I felt a foreign presence vibrating at the same wave length my soul naturally resonates at.
I was becoming less me and more it.
The zipper opened up a bit.
Emotion was lost once on the inside.
Suddenly I felt awake and made my way to the living room where my friends were still asleep.
I looked at them with cold eyes.
“wake them up to what you see”
I felt a numbness inside my mouth as I attempted to reconcile the conflicting thoughts in me.
I stood like a totem gazing into a bonfire.
An electrical zap made its way from the top of my skull down through my arms.
It pulsated through my fingertips and made it's way to Adam.
His body lifted into the air as I saw his breath leave his body.
His eyes rolled back in his head.
Color left his body and flowed back through me and I felt heavier.
The zipper opened up a bit.
Next was Jake.
This time I felt apathetic.
The final friend woke up prematurely and let out a quick, halted scream as he too was grabbed.
I remember being a young adult with very little worry just the night before.
These memories were leaving me one by one.
I stopped wondering If this was a dream, or if this was happening to anybody else.
The pool of blood was a sight I did not cringe at.
I was lifted into the air and the ceiling moved out of my way as I stared upon the city.
Each finger became a grappling hook pulling minds out of bodies.
The feeling of sharing this body was omni-present.
I heard sadness and frustration bounce through my body.
Was it my own?
I could not be sure.
I looked each family member in the eyes, as if to say goodbye.
They and everybody else in the city became lifeless as I became heavier.
The zipper opened up a bit more.
I locked eyes with the gigantic blue pupil sneaking a peak through the zipper.
It's eyes were my eyes.
Weeks passed and little was left of the humanity that used to be of abundance.
The clouds expressed sorrow and cried bloody tears to mask the damage.
Why was I chosen?
What is happening?
Soon this did not matter.
The zipper opened up fully.
We looked into Guf.
Inside housed all the souls of humanity and many more.
The creator called us back home.
This was not the first time this has happened.
I was taken in and welcomed by a white being composed of plasma.
"you are home now"
