The day’s prompt: Beginnings or Endings?
Everything comes to an end sometime. Sometimes, things do not even get to begin. Are there things that will not end? The universe had a beginning, after all, but will it end someday too?
Oh well. Unless some cruel being grants you immortality, you will never know.
Actually, will immortality have an ending in any circumstances?
Smokey substance gathered around you, then morphed into a genie-looking being. “I can give you an answer to the question.”
You had a terrible, terrible feeling in your gut. “No, wait-“
A surge of power crossed through you and the genie/whatever smiled. “Enjoy your immortality, good citizen.” Then, it disappeared again. Just your luck.
“…Why does the universe hate me?”
