This post was an official UberMadness! entry. Click here to view the original matchup.
Hurtling through the air, stomach down and relaxed on the round cradle of this atomic bomb. The velocity makes my hair whip at my blissful face, but my mind doesn't comprehend swiftly enough. My fall is in slow motion. I just want to feel that sweet release, that numb power that will be the epic explosion; Easy exoneration...
Am I waking up?
Why does everything have to be an idiot's allegory to me? The fucking sidewalk blows my mind. Standing here what am I? I just look so closely, it seems so obscure. Just One More Step? What? Why? I need to clear my head of insane cobwebs before progressing.
What makes one step, one person, different from another?
The step that I made my first... it's co-ordinates insignificant to anything. Unimportant, and seemingly the most important of my life? I am unimportant.
An infinite amount of steps have been taken, a constantly rising number that is increasing as I type this, as you read this. Everyone knows this, this meaninglessness. But why then, is the sound of your own two feet making their own clicks, clacks, pitters, and patters in the middle of a modern metropolitan night so striking? Doublethink? Just plain 'no think'.
Even my suicidal, escapist dream is unoriginal. Many people have fantasized about going out in a blaze of glory, riding atop the destroyer of worlds. The only difference is I'm doing it...
...not.
I'm merely typing inane bullshit, I'm lost?
I need to go outside and hear my own two feet again.
The sound of Just One More Step is never lost.
