It was cold, and deathly silent. Soft snow drifted down from black clouds and lay on the swells of ocean and black sand. Everyone was gone. There was no one left... Except for him.
He sat, broken and battered, unable to move of his own volition. His legs twitched, his throat convulsed, he felt as if he would rip himself from existence...
The entirety of his being writhed, pulsating and shrinking, growing and contracting. It was nearly impossible to discern what, exactly, he was. Shrill screams came from his mouth in too high of a pitch; they went unheard. They would have been unheard, still, had there been anybody there to hear them.
He was the last creature in the world. He could tell. The knowledge was there, within him; he needed nobody to tell him the truth. He knew it, instinctively.
He was alone.
There had been a cataclysm, a schism between life and the dimension he existed in... He was the only one left.
It was painful. He was being burnt, now, scalded by the purity of the snow that fell innocently onto the beach. Soon, nothing would remain of his pitiful form, and the world would be empty.
For now, silence reigned.
