The Great Black

Atlas, he called out, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”

Atlas :

What I am is nothing but choices,not a soul,not even a body. Just a vessel to make choices. Big ones,small ones,to sacrifice,to not sacrifice,to show kindness,to disobey even in the face of something greater than I am. Each of my choices makes others make choices. Choices that spawn choices,even in the smallest of ways.

I can never truly die.

I keep on as humanity keeps on.

I keep on haunting our grand narrative even as my eyes see nothing but the great black for all of eternity.

My mere existence has already ensured my own immortality.

Why, then, should I be afraid?
