Earthling

The last thing I remember was my sister, leaning over me, breathing hard, and crying. She was shaking me, sobbing, asking me to survive. But I couldn’t. My eyes slowly closed, and then I felt nothing.

What felt like only minutes later, I woke up, screaming, thrashing, and sobbing. It had all come together. I had left my sister, alone, on Earth, and now… I had let go of the grass. I was gone from Earth. 

Gone. 

Gone.

Gone.

Gone.

It echoed in my head, biting at my insanity, and my empty heart.
