Oblivion
Oblivion:state of being forgotten: a state of being completely forgotten
People believe in a various amount of things. There is a heaven; there is a hell. There is an afterlife or not. People are also highly frightened of things. There is a fear of spiders, (Arachnophobia); there is a fear of gaining weight, (Obesophobia). But there is a fear of oblivion. And I believe that that is one of the worst fears one can simply fear. Oblivion is like drowning an ocean; an ocean filled with many creatures and occupied with cheerful kids splashing in the water. And yet you are drowning. And nobody can see you, nor hear you. However, you are still there. Grasping for air, yelling, screaming, drowning. And you can see them all; having a normal day. You are looking at them, not looking back at you. And you are forgotten. Its almost like you were never here. You leave no trace behind on this world, besides your floating body. Nobody knows your name. Your name isn't imprinted in multiple textbooks. Your name simply only appears in the obituary. And I am not positive I want to die, because I have not scarred an impact on this world. Or have I?
