The Beginning after the End (I swear that the name is just a coincidence.)

H...a...aaaa I... feel so weak.

Where am I? Who am I?

Oh, wait... yeah.

I remembered a little bit of what happened.

H-how am I still alive.

Argghhh

I felt a stinging pain in my stomach.

W-hat is this?

I looked down and what I saw was a sword stabbed in my stomach.

Ahh... now I remember...

I'm on a battlefield.

A soldier to be exact but what I am... was a cannon fodder.

A guy who is used, or a guy who is sacrificed for the sake of the higher people's greed.

But how am I still alive?

Am I that tough?

Oh well, this might be better...

As I lifted my arm into the sky as if trying to hold it.

I hope if I die I can escape from this hellhole.

I hope the afterlife was a place where I can rest every day, eat every day, have fun every day.

Maybe... living is suffering by itself.

My eyes seemed to become heavy and memories about my life passed through my head.

Suddenly, My eyes became watery and I can feel tears flowing down from my cheeks.

E-hh... eh... A-am I crying?

Ha h-ha haa...

My laugh became weaker and weaker, as the feelings buried within me started to burst out.

Ahhhhh...

The sadness, the suffering, the humiliation, the pain, the everything.

At that time, I felt a Heavy feeling within my chest.

Then the questions that I desperately buried within my mind to help me not lose my sanity burst out.

W-why me?

Did I do something wrong?

Is it my fault?

Who is at fault?

WHY ARE YOU HIGHER PEOPLE PUSHING YOUR JUSTICE, ANGER WITHOUT ANY REMORSE UPON ME?!!

AM I SUPPOSED TO BE A GUY WHOM YOU CAN VENT YOUR ANGER??!!!

W-why w-why~~~~????

.

.

.

W---why?

Cough cough

My voice became weaker and weaker and, I started to calm down.

My eyes became heavy and I started to feel sleepiness.

In the end, I was just a... slave.

Suddenly, I remembered a memory.

.

It was in a market.

I always walked there causing me to notice many things such as...

A parent scolding a kid, a robber, A noble who looked like he lost everything and so much more.

I suddenly thought that...

Everyone's a slave.

To their feelings, status, family, duty, responsibility, a slave to a master, fear...

So what's the difference between us?

We all have chains.

I always thought that if there were good in the nobles and there are evils in the commoners then what's the difference between us?

Were all just humans in the end.

So what's the need for discrimination between them?

.

After that my heart once more became calm, my mind was clear.

I forgot the problems, hate in this life as I was about to die anyway.

My heart and my mind felt better as I cried myself out.

I smiled and said, "To be honest this is a good end. If there are gods 'Thanks'.

Now I can rest happily.

I forgot about my hatred as I accepted my death and

smiled at the sky.

As I thought that my heart suddenly felt heavy and waves rippled in my heart.

A chaotic feeling spread to my heart.

Ah... I see so in the end... I still wanted to live...

What a pity...

Sigh

I let out a sigh as I once again accepted my death.

My eyes felt heavy.

I gave up my resistance and gave in to my sleepiness.

I'm tired now... so can I run away now?
