Suddenly a feeling with overwhelming and great destructive magnitude overcomes within me. What started as an unnoticed irregularity in my equilibric subconscious state of mind, like the first drop of rain disturbing the surface of a quiet lake, slowly evolves into a shivering earthquake murdering the very fundaments, the very soul of my existence.
I stand frightened in my solitude and shiver as I am desperately trying to solve an inequality in the obscure corners of my heart. Slowly becoming conscient of the infallible incapability of me reaching that goal, a growing feeling of powerlessness disarms me from the last weapons I have. It leaves me, with nothing else than just myself, standing on the edge of what seems to be the darkish gray and reddish blue of nothingness.
Two doors in front of me, behind me is the end. Knowing what lies behind them does not ease my mind, nor makes it easy to choose.
I became aware the choice I had already made and stepped up to the door but...
I lost the keys somewhere on my way...
