Once I wished upon a star
That my world no longer grow apart
No more wars
No more pain
Surely that’d be a perfect existence
For everyone…
Closing my eyes
I thought to myself
If people stopped hating
We’d stop growing apart
Everything would be perfect
If we all had a heart
Nuclear war was a possible thing
Till I awoke the very next day
Suddenly guns were turned in
All citizens were happy to let go of them
The nuclear war we were about to start
Suddenly fell apart…
All nations agreed to give up such arms
Citing if humanity is to last
We can not keep such things
All hate in people’s hearts
Had suddenly been forgotten
No one cared about ones race or creed
Who they loved
What nation they came into reality from
Religion was no longer a thing
All anyone wanted was peace
Crime had suddenly stopped that day
As the weeks went on
There wasn’t any…
The worlds economy had boomed
Everyone now lived in harmony…
A more perfect existence could not be found
I couldn’t believe it!
My wish
Had become
My reality!
I grew happy as I no longer saw people sleeping on the streets
Every person had a home
Everyone was happy!
That’s when I first saw him
The man with the smiling face
A scar shut his right eye
He held a book in his left
Watching from afar
He then wrote something…
The next second
A car had wrecked
A woman had been hit by a drivers mistake
Or so it seemed at the time…
The woman died at the scene
The man soon collected the light that came from her body
A simple wave
A smile that never left
The man vanished before me…
The ambulance left with her body that day
I felt something was off with reality
I slept horribly that night
The mans face was still there in my mind
Suddenly a loud banging came
I awoke
A cold sweat overtaking me!
Looking through my peep hole
There was nothing there
Unable to go back to sleep
I turned on the television…
The news was on
There was a story about the accident
Just as the story was about to really get going
The knocking started again
This time the sound was growing
I checked my door again
The woman from the accident
Covered in blood
She screamed!
Begging me to let her in!
HE’S COMING! HE’S COMING!!!! she said
Then suddenly she vanished before me
In her place as a final scream rang out
The man with the smile & the scar stared at me
Putting a finger to his lips
I realized he wanted silence from me
Then with a wave that sent chills down my spine
The man said
Have a wonderful day!
Before vanishing before me…
I did not sleep the remainder of the night
Every time I tried, he was there
Smiling at me
The world was at peace
Things were perfect
So what was wrong
In that moment?
What was off about that man?
What was I missing
That likely sat
In front of me?
The next day,
The news was on again
The woman’s death was ruled
A suicide
Apparently the driver that hit her
Had not made any mistakes
Apparently she’d jumped in front of him…
I stood to get my coffee
When suddenly I heard a scream
A woman’s body fell past my window at great speed
I barely caught it before
SPLAT!!!!!
Looking down
She was no longer among the living…
In the crowd grew a horrific scream of shock
Looking amongst the screams though
I saw him again
Standing over the woman’s body…
As though he knew I already watched
He looked up
Putting his finger to his teeth
He smiled & asked silence of me…
A chill grew across my spine
Then suddenly a light came from the woman’s body
Soon enough it faded
Along with the man
I wasn’t sure what to think of it?
What was wrong?
Why had she killed herself?
We lived in such a perfect world…
Who would think to end their life?
Now that my wish brought about paradise?
The days went on
The suicides grew
It was all the news would talk about soon
Like rain,
The bodies began to fall
A man on a subway killed himself
Another intentionally drove off a bridge
One man had cut himself to bits
The scarring was sickening to say the least
The blood that flowed out of his body
Creating a most gruesome scene…
In the reports I could see the man
Always standing in the distance
Months went on
The body count grew
Including both of our local news anchors
Who,
On live tv
Decided to burn away reality
One drank battery acid
The other set themselves alight
I felt shock!
THIS WASN’T RIGHT!
I felt myself losing my grip
…ON REALITY!!!!!
The months went on and the suicide count went up
I felt myself growing sick
Sometimes I’d sleep
Then I’d see the deaths
Along with the man collecting them…
The reports would pop up on the news
At a later time
After the dreams…
I felt like I was losing my mind!
One year
Then the next
I began to lose track of bodies I’d seen
The world was in a mass suicide
I didn’t understand
…WHY?!…
Still, they continued to DIE!
I couldn’t sleep…
The nights I didn’t,
They were still there
If not in dreams
It was visions
The man along with them,
Their deaths,
Clearly as they were happening
I was losing my mind, right?!
No…it’d become apparent…
…It’d happened too many times…
I was seeing the deaths as they happened
They were being reported later
Still,
I could never stop them
There was a knocking soon at my door
A man stood there
Before saying
Special delivery!
I’d not ordered a package
Still, I figured
What could it hurt?
Maybe I’d be murdered
No longer having to live
This reality…
I opened the door
The man looked up
There was a terrifying smile
Then a loud laugh
An explosion!!!
His blood and bone had flown
I should be dead
Am I?
I felt a happiness at the thought
Before behind the man that had blown up
The one with the scar stood
He spoke to me
You yet live, for you cannot die…such is your wished reality…
NO!
THAT ISN’T WHAT I WISHED!!!!!
I screamed in protest!!!
A finger now moved to the mans lips & his wide grinning teeth
Oh but it is…
You wished a world without war
A world with no more hate
A world that couldn’t exist
With humanity
Your wish has been granted
You will never die
You will slowly watch
As the world is gone
Soul by soul I will collect
Death after death you will see as my witness
Then when you are all alone
You will know the world you wished
Your world of peace
Such is your eternal reality
I felt a shock
A gnawing from deep within
Then I lost myself
…Completely…
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
NONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I threw myself threw the window
Falling to the ground
Not a single bone broken
Nothing was wrong with me…
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I continued to scream
Soon throwing myself
Into the headlights
Of a big rig truck!
The truck rolled
I was made direct contact
Still I stood
No blood
Not even a single speck!
I ran further to the nearest subway
Then threw myself in front
Still after it was all over
I stood,
The man appeared
A never ending smile upon his face
Accept it.
He said…
Then, with a finger to his lips
He soon turned
Vanishing before me
The next few months I tried every way
To kill myself each day
Eventually it became evident
As I saw others die
I’d gotten my wish
…This would be my eternity…
Soon…YES SOON!
THEY’D ALL BE DEAD!!!!!
…Then…
…I’d have my wish…
*Frantically begins crying*
-My World Of Peace-
