Death.
Death is an inevitable thing.
Somewhere on the calendar.
During a certain year, on a certain month.
During a certain day, at a certain time.
I'll stop breathing.
I'll cease to exist from this earth.
And only a memory of me will remain in the minds of those who knew me.
The last glimpse they'll see of me will be a lifeless body.
Being buried six feet under.
Never to be seen again in this lifetime.
After that, all everybody will be left with is just pictures and videos of me.
Just audios of a voice that was once mine.
The author of my life will then write the words.
"The end"
And put the book away forever.
