A Crimson Tear Appears as One

One cannot help but to look back at events which had transpired in your seemingly finite space and time. One continue on living their life to the fullest, placing aside growing doubts about the future because of a wounded past. Looking at the ebony sky studded with the small lights of the countless stars, a person could dream of an infinite existence wherein everything is perfect, everything is happy, and everything and everyone are slowly weaving their own blankets of security with their own threads of fate. Time surges forward in the glimpse of a moment's existence, and then, all chaos breaks loose. The smiles of everyone suddenly disappears, and the lights shining suddenly turn black as all happiness is lost.

At an interval of a second, every dream and every reality which has been created has been destroyed by a force unknown to everyone. As a lone crimson tear falls down into twilight seas, time suddenly stops. Sadness covers the warmth of the sun's rays and poisons everything it touches and leaves within its mystifying wake. The world, at a sound of a heartbeat, suddenly turns as dark as the depths of despair and as cold as the embrace of being alone. The cogs of destiny remained in an infinite state of stasis, sustaining all the tears welling up in everyone's eyes and all the sighs being uttered by everyone's exhausted souls.

Fate seems to be cruel.

Humans say they are the poorest creatures when deep and inescapable sadness befalls them, and yet humans are also the ones only capable of the most evil and heartless of things.

A soul brave enough to stand against time rises above all others. Strengthening its resolve to save all the remaining hopes and wishes each kindled in their hearts, the soul pushes a titanic gear all by himself. He bore the seemingly impossible task by himself. But true enough, fate started to move again, and destiny started to resume its course.

The soul goes unnoticed. Everyone else regains their lost vitality and starts to look upon the stars again once more. This time, a streak shines across the night sky wished upon by the hopeless to regain strength. The stars answered their selfish desires. The soul which bravely and silently pushed time back into its track slowly lost all its memories. Slowly, life trickled out from his poor soul, until nothing was left of him but a fragment of light. He became one of the stars that the other souls kept praying on for strength. That time, he did not understand why that has to happen to him. He cannot keep his tears from welling up in his eyes. It seemed that his destiny was over, and time will stagnate leaving him in that agonizing state of sorrow and despair.

And then, a lone crimson tear falls from the midnight sky and into the twilight night...
