He did not remember how he got there.
Part-1
He had no answers. There were no names given to people in this world. There were no people in this world, and no authority to give names. Actually there was no Give and Take in this world. Everything was balanced. There were no planets. No stars. Just infinite darkness. Or light. Depended on your perspective actually. But then there was no such thing as a perspective in this world. Everything was definite. No right or wrong. Only one supreme definite truth. Enlightenment if you may.
Anyways for our convenience, lets call him Bob. Bob was formless. He was a conscience. A spirit. Bob felt no pain. No happiness. Bob floated lifeless through the infinite. He has been floating this way for millions and millions of years. There were countless souls like him. Floating through the infinite. After floating millions and millions of years, through this infinite darkness, Bob had a realization, one which he hadnt had for millions and millions of year. His time had come. Bob had reached the place were he had been destined to reach. It was all written. Maktub. Bob was sucked into the vacuum. And suddenly Bob had all the answers. Of all the times through the beginning of time when this had happened this was going to be the best. Or so he thought.
Part-2
23 years later. It was Bob's Birthday. For 15 years Bob had loved a girl. They had been together for 7 months now. Bob's parents had died when he was 6. He had no friends. Just 1-2 acquaintances maybe, if you could call them that. But this girl had stuck with him throughout.
He was alive because of her. Maybe she was too good for him. Sometimes he wondered why she was with him. She felt too good to be true.
Bob went to her house to surprise her. Bob had got a diamond ring. Some flowers. Some chocolates. There went all the "money" that Bob had earned his entire "life". Love makes you do crazy things.
Bob had a spare key to her home. He went straight to her bedroom.
"SURPRISE". There she lay on the bed. Looking as beautiful as ever. With this dude who had bullied Bob throughout highschool.. "GET THE FUCK OUT , WIERDO!" , she said. She acted surprised. But she had planned this for weeks. "SURPRISE."
"And leave the keys behind", she said.
2 months later. Bob had lost his job, 9 kgs in weight and his will to live. Its been 2 days since Bob had eaten anything and 4 days since he slept at night. He had a razor in his hand. Bob said one last prayer then slit his wrist. 7 mins later Bob was dead.
2 mins later Bob woke up. This time it was not destiny that brought him here. Sure it was all written somewhere, but for brief moments, Bob had chances to rewrite some parts. He didnt. Anyways Bob was sucked into the vacuum once more.
He did not remember how he got there.
