Those who came were not invited and went home with
Deep black, deadly black.

I don't feel like I took the test exactly a week ago.
A long vacation has been welcomed for me to be able to enjoy.
But right now I'm confused about going to high school or going straight to work. Because when I decided to go to school, I knew that my father and mother had no money for it. And where when I choose to work, yes I will know the risks. Yes, it's like looking for grass to eat cows and maybe, building work if not, I'll go with it. I work at Electronics in Banyuwangi.
"What do you think Wan?"
I asked Awan while leaning my head on a coconut tree trunk. By the way, I'm on the hill behind the house right now.
"I think school is better because later you will get experience and many more friends"
"Hmmm, you know that in middle school, I didn't have many friends because they felt weird when they were close to me. Especially in high school, I can't imagine what I'll be like. I've been bullied by them."
I walked and stood on the big rock on this hill. Feeling a random thought, raging and jumbled up inside of me.
My feelings are going crazy I'm confused and I can't stand this. I didn't feel the tears running down my cheeks.
"Lord, give me Your miracle, Lord, help your servant, Lord..!!!"
I screamed with all my might
"God why God, why did you give me... a life like this!!!!!"
"Hey H, don't be like that"
Awan approached me slowly
I turn around and damn it
I slipped and fell, my head hit a large rock that I was stepping on. I fell and was dragged down, tumbling so fast
'Crack'
I stopped rolling, I think I'd reached the bottom of this abyss.
my head is dizzy, I try to scream
"Please, Help!!!..."
My voice is getting smaller...
I fell into the abyss.
My eyes started to get heavy to keep me awake.
Only a fleeting dark shadow hovered above me.
Suddenly everything went dark.
***
I slowly opened my eyes, a ray of light shone through my eyes.
I rubbed my eyes slowly, I tried to break and literate. But my vision is still blurry and blurry.
I closed it again but this time it took a little longer, I tried to open it again, and still the same no difference.
I sat down resignedly. Embracing my knees and resting my chin on my knees.
"Awan, where are you? come here!"
I tried calling him, but no response from him.
I just realized that I'm not wearing any clothes.
I feel my body and it's true I'm naked here.
Wait! Where am I!?
I quickly opened my eyes again and it was still the same as before. Everything is blurry, not clear I can see.
But I can faintly see when I focus and squint my eyes a bit.
I stood up and I inhaled slowly and deeply, I exhaled slowly as well.
I slowly opened my eyes, and a bright light flashed through my eyes.
I couldn't see clearly for a few seconds.
I squint my eyes again and slowly with certainty I opened them.
"Good grief!"
Seriously, I was in a very wide and endless expanse.
I looked around and strangely there was no sun or moon. But this place is so bright.
Everything is white and foggy, I repeat not fog I think more than that. Fog but like a mass of clouds very low distance from the land.
And the land that I stepped on was not land.
I crouched down and felt it with both my hands.
This is Ash, this is ash. And when I realized it I smelled something strange. It's like something is charred because it's been burned. Or burn.
I decided to walk, I don't know where I'm going, the important thing is that I walk.
Shortly after I walked, it was only five steps I guess.
I heard a voice from far away. This voice that I heard faintly was a scream from many people.
This land that I thought was endless, suddenly I saw a very large hole in front of me, ten meters from me. I guess.
I approached because I was getting curious. What's going on there.
As it got closer, I could see what was going on.
I saw a very wide and huge fire.
But I didn't see anyone there, I only heard their voices.
They screamed like they were hot and I could hear someone asking for help, asking for forgiveness, and so on.
But I didn't see them, they weren't there.
Only the flames were burning there, blazing enormously.
I could feel the heat from where I was standing, even though the distance I was standing from the fire was very far. But I can feel it.
I backed away, slowly.
I turned around and was surprised I wasn't playing.
They stood up, they were three people wearing all black robes.
They stood frozen in front of me.
I covered my mouth with both hands.
"The Seekers"
I muttered to myself. What should I do, they found me.
They are completely faceless.
Only darkness enveloped them, I never saw them very closely.
And this is my first time seeing them, actually seeing them.
I was still silent and frozen in front of the three of them.
The moment I decide to retreat, I will surely fall into that fire pit. But when I decide to move forward what will happen to me.
I'm still in the same position where I stood before. I'm confused, where am I now.
I called Awan but there was no answer, while I am now in a place I have never been to before.
I must be dreaming, but why do I feel so real?
In between I boisterous with my thoughts.
It wasn't me who decided to move.
But for them.
They walk slowly. Wait not to walk, they don't walk but fly in a low position.
Gosh, what should I do?
They are getting closer to me now.
I was still in the same position, standing and covering my mouth with both hands.
My eyes widen, I feel my heart is about to fall out of my body.
The distance that was previously one meter, has now been cut by them.
I closed my eyes tightly, and I squatted down quickly.
I felt electric shocks run through my body when they touched me.
"Awwwwww"
The feeling disappeared in an instant. They didn't touch me but passed me by. Just past me.
Don't they know where I am? Or they're not dealing with me.
Or do they have other tasks!?.
I don't care, what's clear is that it feels very real once they pass me.
I stood up quickly and tried to run away from them.
But the land I was stepping on suddenly split in two.
I did not have time to escape from that hemisphere. I fell and fell in, quickly.
I give up.
I close my eyes.
And I keep falling down and down and down

Never look for them, they will look for you.
