Haha! Great!
I like it!
Can I make another wish? If so, I wish to be immortal.
"I wish to become Immortal"
Oh, how you wish you never would have spoken those accursed words. In hindsight, you marvel at how you could have ever thought that immortality could be a good thing....
As the cat granted your wish, you felt everything around you freeze over. Cold. The alarm on your bedside stop beeping, the fan stopped moving, a distinct smell of ozone overcame you as the sunlight dimmed for a moment.
Then, everything returned to normal.
Nonplussed, the cat informed you that he had frozen your body and soul in a moment in time. Unaging... Undying, and forever youthful. Taking a bow, the cat wished you well and took his leave.
At first, it felt like a good thing as your first demon fight was an ambush. You still remember the flabbergasted look it gave you when its blade shattered against your neck. Because you were frozen in time, nothing governed by time could ever touch you.
Except Time itself.
Mere Hours became nothing as you had all the time in the world, but as you enjoyed your absence from the ages, your friends didn't. Hours turned into weeks. Weeks into years. Years into decades.
By this time, you had become something unnatural. When everyone around you aged and you remained the same, others began to question who you were- what you were- and began to distance themselves. You found that wildlife seemed to avoid your presence, and the cat you had would run away and hide whenever you came into the room.
Decades turned into a full century, and by this time, many of your friends were dead. Outcast as a demon yourself by all around you, eventually medical examiners caught wind of your immunity to time. You found yourself captured once by a government not once, but twice. While they could not affect you physically, your very self and your emotions were broken twice over.
As one century passed into ten, you became a legend against the demons. Your heart had hardened long ago, as all the ones you knew have died and passed away. With no company, you observed from the highest heights as the world fell under the Third World War and the virus simply known as Wormwood slew man, women, and child alike.
You remember the fourteenth century as the year Earth died. It was a comet, you vaguely remember, that broke orbit and devastated the Yellowstone Caldera. By now, what humans had survived war, famine, disease, and pain, had mechanized and become more machine than man.
They had all left long ago.
When Yellowstone erupted, a grand Ice Age came as the sky was turned to ash and the forests fell to fire and smoke. You remember vaguely throwing yourself into a volcano once, only to wake up adrift.
Immortal.
Even the sea's deepest depths could not crush your form.
Immortal.
Centuries turned into millennium, and by know, you were merely a husk. What demons your mind had made, had already driven you mad long ago.
As millennium passed, and again.....and again.. Earth was devoured by the Sun.
Light years became the norm by which your husk took time.
Eventually, even they died away.
You are adrift in a cold cosmos. You cannot breathe, cannot eat, cannot feel, cannot think.
Cannot die, as you wait for the Heat Death of the Universe.
But even that will not save you from your living hell.
YOU GOT THE ETERNAL ENDING!"~If you want to live forever, raise your hand
~"
How can I not die over that?
