Existence is a funny thing if you think about it. There are so many questions that can be asked around it, and there is no clear or definite anwsers to it.
'We exist cause others can witness us.'
But what if no one is there to witness you.
'You can think so therefore you are.'
How are you so sure that others can think, maybe they are a little joke that your creative mind came up with. Ohhh now that I think of it, what if you don't exist at all eyy? No no what if everything has been made up by an higher being, what than? Or or what if existence doesn't exist at all, that there is only nothingness?
'Sorry but that sounds completely wrong.'
I am only speculating for you, dont take everything I say as a complete truth okay, there is no one here that is all knowing. Ahh nothing brightens my mood more than conversing with you. Okay now filosofie is of the list, is there anything else a painter like you wants to talk about, we do have a similar job you and I.
'Wait a painter, how do you know I am a painter, no better question who are you and why do I only see white.'
Ahh time is almost up I am afraid. Funny, you wish you would have more now and I wish I had less of it. Oh and why do you ask so many questions at the same time. Ofcourse I know you, I might not be all knowing but I do hold some knowledge.
For who you are talking to, I am everything and nothing at the same time, quite conflicting right? Oh and you only see white because you are nothing and everything at the same time. Hehehe welcome to the club my friend. No wait welcome to me I suppose.
'What are you talking about, aren't you a doctor?'
I could be if I want to, I could be a butcher to, a horse, a tree, a mountain, a Demon, a hero, good oh and evil to sometimes. I am life itself, bringing forth the future of every organism. I am death that eradicates everything life had build. The cosmos that hangs over the universe is also me, oh I should not forget about the sun, I am realy proud about that. I am eternal and also ending. I am all of existence as much as I am one. I am me but I am also you.
'Okay you are making no sense at all, no wait nothing here is making sense at al. Why can't I feel my body? where am I really? how long have I been here?'
Okay time is up my friend. I have to leave those questions unanswered. I take no joy from ignoring them today, I promise. I could hold you longer but it is necessary that you return now. You might never return if I keep you longer. So this is goodbye.
'Huh wwaaaiittt whhhhaattt dooooo youuu meaaaaannnn?'
-_-_//&%>&&÷;^£_&&#÷
Caelus felt a Forse pull on his whole body, the strange part was that his body wasn't there. Than suddenly a pain took most of his focus, the remaining focus was being used in understanding what was happening around him. The white shade he had seen the whole time was turning completely black.
Pfoooooooooffffff
That eternal darkness that came with the black shade didn't last that long. Something started to shine light everywhere, that light was now coming from a ball, no no it was a sphere. He couldn't really tell, everything was very blurry.
Caelus now noticed another pull on his body. Well first it started with one pull but multiple followed. The young man had a feeling that he was now standing on solid ground, he felt wind moving past him, he could smell and hear the sea close by, he felt the warmth of blood rush through his skin, he tasted something really bitter and now he could also clearly see.
'Why am I at a beach, wait whats wrong with the sky.'
He looked around, very confused with what was happening. He didn't see the sky he was used to, he saw the cosmos while the sun was fully out.
'What is happening to me?'
Caelus than saw a silhouette of a man a few meters far from him. He felt some relief. The young man started running towards the man who shared his fate.
"Oh sir you won't believe how happy I am to see a another face, could you explain to me what is happening. Wait why are you so harry, no where are your clothes?."
There was no response at all, not even the slightest of movements. The man was not really a man, he did look human from afar but up close was a different story.
'He, he is not human.'
Caelus wasnt right nor wrong at the same time. The weird looking man took a step forward, he than took some berries and set down to eat.
'His movements look very weird, it looks very lifeless.'
"Hello do you understand me?"
And again there was no response. The weird harry looking man kept eating his berries. Caelus wanted to take an even closer look but fell on a stone.
"Ouch"
He looked at his arms and legs, checking for injuries. He didn't find any damage, but what he did find was a big sphere flying in his chest. It held all kinds of colours, but there was one that was really prevalent.
'A somewhat darker colour blue, what is it?'
Caelus tried to touch it, but to no avail, it was deep inside his chest. He did get a feeling that he couldn't touch it even if he pierced his upper body.
Caelus wanted to ask the weird man another question, now about the sphere he saw in his chest but he found another something else.
"What is that emptiness inside you?"
The painter saw a black void inside his silent friend.
'I have a sphere and he has a void'.
He than looked around, there were crabs, seagulls and weird looking trees that stood in the sand. They were all really different from each other but they had one thing in commen.
'They all have a void.'
Caelus sat down in the sand, bewildered and confused. His hand on his chest.
'What am I suposed to do here. Nothing makes sense. I am suposed to be home or at a doctor. Why am I here, and what is happening with all the plants and animals. The all act weirdly.'
But than a certain memory came to mind, these two words were from a certain priest.
"Soul colour, huh"
' this is my soul. If that is true than everything around me is soulless'.
One crab was standing still in the sand, his brethren were walking further towards the sea. That single crab was now looking at a seagull, it looked like the two of them followed some kind of rule or law. The seagull grabbed the crab with his beak and started feeding on it. The crab didn't fight back at all, nor did the seagull try to kill his prey before gobbling it. The seagull was now standing on the beach, waiting for his next instructions.
'So this is how we would look like without a soul, It's really sad. I preffer everything as it was, being the only one with a soul is useless while everything else is soulless.'
Suddenly there was som tingling feeling in the tip of Caelus fingers. He looked at it and saw that all his fingertips had different colours on them. He tried to get it of but nothing changed.
'Why won't it get of.'
He tried throwing the colours of his finger by waving them. The colours didn't come of, but the colours did stick to the sky above him.
'Huh.'
He waved more and more, the cosmos above him became less and less because of it. The sky was being drawn, by his own hands.
'Well I gues I will fix the sky than.'
Caelus masterfully moved his fingers around. He put in some blue, some yellow, some red and some other colours. It took him some time but he was now almost done. One more was would finish his project for good.
'If this doesn't help me understand what is happening right now, I.... I will ... i.'
Caelus felt his consciousness fade away. The sky was now finished.
'Ah this is it than, good.... I... I think. Hopefully that guy is there wherever I go next, I .... I need some anwsers, real ...
Cow-cow-cow
'Huh?'
Caelus looked up and saw the seagull fly away, he was heading towards another seagull that was feeding on a hermit crab.
Cow-cow
A fight had started, the hermit crab fell in the sand. He was now walking away towards sea. The seagull were now screaming at each other, spreading there wings. They didn't want to fly aways, they were trying to intimidate each other.
'Okay that is a sudden change. Huh, their void is gone. They have a sphere now, but why are they both mostly red?'
Caelus than heard a noice from behind, he turned around and saw the weird looking man approach him.
"Woooooaaaahhhh, stay there and don't come any closer. I am supposed to be Kn I .. gh..te...d"
The suprised young man fell on the soft sand beneath him. His mind now completely shutting off. He was now only able to see one last thing.
'He also has a soul now huh.'
____________________________
"Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrghhhhhhhh."
The young painter was now hunching over. Big streams of Sweat dripping from his face. He was grasping for air, almost like he ran a full marathon. He looked around, he realised that he was not on a beach anymore.
He was home. In his own bed.
'Was that all a dream, it felt so real'.
Bonk
The bedroom door slammed open, an older man ran inside the room. His face was the definition of concerned. The older man was Jonathan, his dad.
"You are finally awake".
Jonathan walked over to Caelus, who was now standing next to his bed and put both arms around his son.
"You don't know how worried I was, you bastard. Did you really needed to take so long?"
The young Caelus knew that he didn't have to respond. It was a question that didn't demand a anwser.
But there was one thing that needed an anwser.
'Why am i still seeing souls?'
And than it hit him
'Am I still dreaming?'
