Prompt ….

Many seasons passed. New generations ruled. Vaguely he remembered the present generation when they were still being nursed by their mothers. During that time, he had possessed many from the living – without thought and without mercy. It had been an eternity he thought.
No! Another voice with in him objected. Eternity is something very different – it is not a vast stretch of time and space. It is a confined space, dark and gloomy – like an attic and often full of giant roaches.
A frail voice urged him to walk out of the attic.

I like the idea that eternity is a confined space
🙂 Thank you.
Those dark roaches must make eternity hell. Sounds like Dracula is musing in his tomb.
Yes, it is a tormented spirit that has been condemned to roam the cosmos for eternity.
Thank you.
Is the cosmos a flat disk? If the tormented individual finds the disk’s edge they can fall off. But worst may await under the disk. Now you have got me thinking.🙂🙂🙂
Our understanding (at least my) about the nature of cosmos and life beyond this planet and physical body is like a sieve – unable to retain any consistent theory or hypothesis …….. so the cosmos could well be a disc with underbelly full of despair.
Thanks for pointing out another perspective.
I wonder if the attic has any exits though…. your image reminds me of Dante’s description of Limbo
I think no …. eternity is just there we can not escape it (if it is there).
Thank you.
just like zero and infinity brought together on a Riemann sphere?
A new perspective …… now I must try to understand the complexities involved.
If eternity is like that, I prefer the idea of ceasing to exist. Full stop. The end.
So true.
Charvaka, also called Lokayata (Sanskrit: “Worldly Ones”), a quasi-philosophical Indian school of materialists also rejected the notion of an afterworld, karma, liberation (moksha), the authority of the sacred scriptures, the Vedas, and the immortality of the self.
Thank you for the read and opinion.
An interesting take on the FF prompt.
Thank you.
My pleasure!
