What am I -CREATIVE WRITING #1

Sometimes I wonder, what I really am. Am I a human? Or a spiritual being, maybe one day..I will find the truth.

I wake up everyday, and go on about my life, nothing suspicious, just everyday routine. As I'm walking to my car, a man comes from behind it, startling me a little and says, "I have the answers you've been looking for." The man looks pretty old, average height, but something was off. He was wearing a white robe.

I look at him and ask, "what answers? To what questions?"

He says, "to the questions you've wanted answers to. "What is life?" "What am I?" He says.

I of course ask him how does he know I've been asking questions like that.

He just tells me he knows the truth and wants me to follow him.

I of course did not know where he wanted to go, as it seemed I was the only one with a car. I didn't know this man but somehow, he knew I was asking certain questions about life. Questions I only asked myself, never to anyone else. He even knew where I lived. For some reason, I didn't think this was any ordinary man. There was an aura around him that felt gentle. It did not feel sinister one bit, so I chose to listen to him, however, I said,

"I'm sorry, I don't know who you are, you seem like a good person, but there are things I need to take care of."

He says, "Steve, I want you to come with me."

I say, "you know my name, but I'm not surprised. Did you think you knowing my name would give a reaction?"

He says, "no, I just want you to follow me."

I say, "ok, I give in, let's go."

I followed the man, and just a few seconds, BOOM! We're someone else! In a different dimension! What just happened!? Where are we?! How did we get here!?

I say, "OLD MAN! Where are we!?"

He says, "you have opened your mind to the vast wonders of the universe, your curiosity took you somewhere that you'll probably never be able to fathom. Even though you had work today, you chose to come here. That is much you care for the answers."

I looked upon the sky, and see things that I would never see back at home, floating cities, with stars surrounding it. It looked as if I was in space with a big civilization in it. There are giants walking among the residents of the city. It just not normal.

"Finally" says the old man, "you have found out what you are."

I say, "but I'm not sure where I am or what I am. I just arrived."

The old man says, "oh no, you know what you are."
