The End of Existence
The result of my overthinking
A boy with golden hair, one day while playing, wandered deep into the forest.
There, he saw a hut, where an old man lived Desolate
The boy approached him and saw the old man painting a picture on a canvas.
The painting was captivating, and the boy got lost in it.
When the painting was finished, the old man asked him to touch it.
As soon as the boy touched the picture, he disappeared into it.
He found himself floating in the universe vast.
The old man was following him, and the boy was filled with excitement and wonder
"Where are we?" the boy asked the old man wonder.
"We are where all the tiny pieces of your soul come together to make you complete," the old man replied.
"The soul within your body is not complete; it is just a tiny fragment of your soul.
You are present everywhere in the universe, where life exists.
The imagination has the world of a tiny fragment of your soul, which it has experienced.
Your present is someone else's past, your past is someone else's present, and your future is someone else's present.
Your soul is not complete; you are present everywhere in the universe, and you can never be complete.
The moments you think of, a tiny fragment of your soul have achieved those moments in reality in some corner of the universe.
You can never be free from the cycle of life until you complete your soul."
"I want to be free from the cycle of life; this is the last time I am in a body, I want to be free," the boy cried out.
"When all the tiny pieces of your soul come together to complete your soul, that day you will be free.
And now you will not return to Earth, you will go to another planet in a new body. Your death on Earth has already occurred.
But your death on Earth is not the end. You will keep wandering.
When all the tiny pieces of your soul come together, that will be the last time, that will be the end."
A/N :- I have tried to tell a story in the form of a poem. I don't know how effective it is.

Oh, what a lovely story, beautifully written in verse and beautifully illustrated too. Reminded me of something said at a friend's funeral. This would make a fabulous script for an animated short story. Thanks for sharing.
This was a really cool concept. I like the idea of touching a painting and being able to walk into it. Then realising that my present is somebody else’s past, being told about the universe by someone wiser that I brings magic to my life, which I appreciate. You gave us just enough to think about, while concluding that there is hope. This story was poetic, soothing and rich with imagery and meaning.
overthinking worked well
made me think...deeply...thank you!
very good story
This is the ultimate truth about souls and life on earth. You did this soooo well!
It is very amazing friend 😍
Wow! You did it intriguingly. The line "I want to be free from the cycle of life" hits me hard✨ Loved it 😊
Your piece is a mesmerizing blend of poetry and prose, filled with rich imagery and profound philosophical reflections. The journey of the boy with golden hair, guided by the wise old man, offers a unique exploration of the soul’s fragments scattered across the universe. It’s a deeply introspective and imaginative narrative that captivates the reader from start to finish. The way you intertwine the concept of fragmented souls with the vast expanse of the universe is truly thought-provoking. The dialogue between the boy and the old man is both enlightening and touching, adding depth to the story’s mystical atmosphere. Thank you for sharing such a beautifully crafted and soul-stirring piece. It’s a wonderful reminder of the complexity of existence and the endless journey of the soul.
You did an excellent job ✨👏 The concept of 'continuity' of life and the fragments being dispersed in throughout the universe is quite unique 🧠 I'd say that I loved this format of 'story-telling' through a poem 'even-better' and captivating ✨😃
