Vanish
Every road.
Every street.
Every corner.
It’s just so crowded. So crammed. So noisy.
Everywhere I go. There are just too many humans on this planet.
Whenever I go somewhere, and I look out of the window of my vehicle, there are just so many people out there.
All living their own unique life. All having their own day-to-day experiences. About which I’ll never get to know. There are way too many stories that I will miss. Stories that I would never even know were taking place alongside my life.
But looking outside this window, all I think is what if….
What if everyone on this planet vanished? (me included)
And not only people but animals too. What if all the living creatures on this planet ceased to exist right now?

How peaceful it’ll be when there will be no one to experience that peace.
When no one will be able to live out their life stories. When no one will be there to experience anything.
That tranquillity is what I crave. Even though I won’t be there to experience it, I want it to exist, even at the cost of my existence.
And I know why I wish for this miracle (Tho others will call it a calamity). I want it to happen because I can’t gulp down the fact that there are countless stories that I’ll never know about.
Stories of the people that existed before me.
Stories of the people that will exist after me.
And most importantly, the stories of the people that are existing alongside me on this planet.
There are infinite stories out there, and I want to experience them all. This craving for these stories is why I want all these stories to vanish out in thin air. So that there will be finally nothing to experience.
Those empty roads.
Those empty streets. Those empty corners.
That is what I want.
Only then there will be true and ethereal peace. Cause true peace can only exist when there is no one to experience it.
I know it’s a weird wish, but yeah, I’d like it to happen someday.
