Time had worn on me. I was but a husk of the man that I used to be, very few of the people I knew growing up were still alive, and even fewer did I still speak to. There didn't seem to be a point to anything. I had climbed to the tallest peaks, seeing piles of dead bodies who had realized this was their purpose and yet my body still pushed on. I gone to the deepest depths of the earth again seeing the bodies of many who had discovered the hard way that this was their purpose, but I was unaffected. I had spoken to kings, conversed with prophets both true and false, there wasn't a blade of grass on this god forsaken planet that I hadn't seen. I sit here in what was once my house, but of course time took a toll on this as well. The once pearl white walls faded into a nasty yellow. The old picture frames saturated with dust, and the "roof" if you could still call it that, didn't serve much purpose besides provide shade during the morning hours of a day. Both my wife and son lay on the chair across from me, as they had found their purpose long before me. "Don't worry my loves, I will find my purpose shortly after you and meet you in the next life, I promise." That was the last thing I said to them. So many years ago did I say that. It didn't make any sense, it boggled my mind to think of anything I haven't accomplished, anything that may have alluded me through my long life and extensive journeys. The thought struck me. A purpose is a very broad thing. Lots of people don't even need to leave their homes to achieve it. I sit back in my chair and glance at my wife and kid one last time, hoping to see a version of them soon that wasn't decomposed beyond the point of recognition. In all my time there has only been one quote, one thought that I had been running from, and it was time I had gotten to it. "My purpose is to be an example." I said to myself. "To show people that they must accept their life however long while they fulfill their purpose." I felt weak and tired. "It is time I say what no one ever wants to say, just to prove that we as humans can." I fold my legs and get comfortable, as my body will most likely be sitting here for quite some time. "I accept my immortality."
