The Sunset
The terrain was solid all over the place. The sky was almost a shade of pink. There was nothing else but me.
I jolt forward. It was them again. I didn't know who they are or what they were, but they controlled me. When I moved and when I stayed still. When I could see and when I couldn't.
I kept moving forward, my eyes locked in front of me.
I stop and my head turns to right, then the left. I look forward again and start moving again. I start exploring again.
It's been a while since I've stopped. I notice the sun beginning to lower, the sky darkening behind it and me.
I stop.
They are going to shut me off. They always do at this time.
I wait... nothing.
Then I see it.
The sun is right in my line of vision, a portion of it hiding behind a ridged hill.
In that moment I feel something I've never felt before. I feel happy, amazed, astounded...there weren't any words to describe it. I wonder the people who control me. Are they seeing this? How do they feel?
I look down. No, they can't be sending me to the darkness, I haven't finished seeing it.
But, in that moment, I see something else. Letters. They spell a word. Curiosity.
My name was Curiosity.
