My Short Short Story for the Day



All he could do was stare as the world before him exploded and the voices of millions screamed in agony.  His heart thundered in his chest at the devastation, the loss.  How could this have happened?  Why?  He was so careful this time.  The tears rolled down his cheeks unnoticed as the screams echoed in his mind.  The dust that once had been a thriving planet now blurred into bright colors stretching across the darkness.  A few moments later the colors faded away.  Death.  Again.  What would he do now?  Where would he go?  Would death follow him forever?  Was there any escape from this wretched existence?  All he ever wanted to do was help, but that had gone wrong.  So terribly wrong.  But why?  He had to find out.  No matter what.  He had to set it right.  Somehow.
