Description
He began his new life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale dusty air. This time he found himself on a single, neverending road, extending through a desert of some sort. Clouds as gloomy-blue as the depths of the sea rolled across the sky in every direction, full of vengeful thunder and brilliant white lighting. But nothing made a sound.

He turned to look behind him, and saw that he stood at the very edge of a cavernous abyss torn into the ground. Suddenly he could feel a hot, dry wind flowing over him, and down the bottomless pit was heat and fire, the complete opposite of the gentle warmth last time. A red, flickering light boiled over the surface of the rock below, like a wave of seductively attractive temptation. The warm light from before had been a choice, but this fire was begging, demanding, pleading for him to enter.

In the total silence he thought he heard a single whisper echo through his head. A voice he heard often.

"I love you."

And so, as if pulled by a string, he closed his eyes and allowed himself to drop.
