Summary: He had one wish; to live forever. But no one can be truly immortal.
One shot. It’s centred around my idea of death , so don’t read if you don’t like dark stories.

Author's Notes:
This is my first fic, so bear with me. I originally gave up trying to write to publishing standards, but when I re-read this I though I would give it a go. Feedback greatly appreciated!
It’s Dark.
Had the darkness ever been this bad?
It’s Cold.
The cold travelled through his skin, because he had no skin.
It’s Empty.
Where could it be this empty, where could he be?
It’s Frightening.
He was never scared, was he? He could not remember…
It’s Bottomless.
He was falling, how could he not have realised before?
It’s Nothing.
He lifted his hand, but he had no hand, he had nothing.
It’s Wholesome.
He felt different, not so torn…
It’s Shrinking.
Was it approaching? Flying forwards, yet never moving.
It’s Different.
How did he get here? What had happened?
It’s Still.
He could not move, could not travel, just could think…
It’s Black.
He could see, but had no eyes, had no appearance.
It’s Full.
A million others could be here, by his side, but he could never reach.
It’s Strange.
He has no memory, just knowledge, knowledge of a memory…
It’s Dark.
It’s Death.
How could he die?
Author’s Notes: So what did you think? In case you haven’t guessed, it’s Tom Riddle, but his memory is not fully functional. He can’t remember dying, or even living, but he knows something is wrong.
This is the first story of mine on Mugglenet, so feedback is greatly appreciated. I want to know exactly what I’ve done wrong (or even right).
Thanks for reading!
