Alone
I can't remember I can't remember what it looks like: The Blue Sky or the Yellow Sun, it has been so long. The only thing I see now is darkness and nothing more. Everywhere I look, I see the empty void of light, and all I can feel is the cold shiver that runs down my spine, having to stare at the nothingness and what may lurk out there. Walking is all I can do: walk until my legs bleed, then walk some more until this eternal abyss ends. I feel around, trying to touch and gather a sense of the idea of where to go. Still, all I can think and see of is trees, the rows, and rows of Tallwood trees. The trees are as tall as the concrete skyscrapers in New York and as dense as stainless steel. I wish I could see these miracles of botany in the light. Still, in the darkness, it felt like a wall enclosing and surrounding me, constricting me like a Boa Constrictor strangling its victims. The wired thing is that I would not hear anything for miles, and then all of a sudden, hoot, hoot, the sound of an owl shaking my bones and nerves. I wish I didn't come here; I never wanted to end up in this place. This dark, empty, soulless Forrest, why did I come here, only me and no one else. I mean, humans are social creatures. They are never meant to be alone; when humans are alone and in darkness, they become something more scary and animalistic.

Exploring the Mysteries of Deity and Humanity: A Cosmic Perspective
The concept of deity is complex, offering numerous interpretations of the divine. As humanity delves into its origins, the pursuit of a higher power persists. Beliefs are deeply ingrained, hindering alternative perspectives. The enigma surrounding God serves our ideologies, yet also prompts introspection into our history. Nature operates in harmony, a balance of give and take, unlike humanity, which often depletes without replenishing. This raises questions about our place in the ecosystem. Perhaps humans, unique in their consumption, are not native to Earth but placed here by advanced beings, possibly extraterrestrial scientists. Biblical and mythological accounts hint at such interventions. Ancient structures and legends suggest interactions with "sky-gods," shaping religious narratives. Humanity's quest for meaning extends beyond earthly bounds, seeking answers in the cosmos. We now strive to bridge the celestial and terrestrial, seeking understanding in the vastness of existence.
