My name is Grant Meagher.

I don't know where I am.

I don't know when I am.

I don't even know if I'm who I say I am.

I'm not sure if I'm even alive or if I'm just in the after life.

I don't even know if these thoughts are real.

The last thing I remember seeing is the pure face of destruction.

The last thing I remember hearing is my closest friends begging me not to go.

And despite how much they pleaded, I went against their wishes.

I did it because I had to.

I did it because if I didn't, they'd all be here instead of just me.

I did it because all of humanity was at stake of becoming extinct.

Because it was the right thing to do.

But I digress.

It's all in the past now.

What I'm wondering is not what I could've done.

But whatever it is I could do now.

There's something about this place. Something off.

I'm not sure why but my curiosity is piquing.

This could be unmarked territory or untreaded waters.

Who knows, I might've just found Heaven.

My name is Grant Meagher.

I don't know where I am.

I don't know when I am.

I don't even know if I'm who I say I am.

I'm not sure if I'm even alive or if I'm just in the after life.

I don't even know if these thoughts are real.

But none of that matters.

The real question is:

Do I want to leave? Or do I want to stay?

Well the title is "Excerpt" because it's actually just a prototype piece I put down from a story I'm making. This isn't meant to be some teenager's diary entry, it's meant to be a base for a monologue about a character actually trapped in a different physical realm. I do agree with the comma splice remarks, though. I mainly put those there to keep notes to myself since this is just a prototype.

I should've explained all this when I posted it, but I was in crunch of time. Oh and that's my mistake on the piquing. Considering this isn't a place for me to put notes, I'll clear that up. Thanks.

I actually posted because I figured tossing it out in this state leaves a mystery on what exactly could be the story behind this generic rambling.

If you're honestly interested in what the story behind this monologue is, I'd be happy to message you about it. The massive story I've created behind this puts this excerpt really into light. I just didn't want to reveal anything. ;)
