Call


The Call of the Void, that's its title.

 

It's a call that many of us contemplate on answering.

 

However, answering that call can mean that of never being able to answer another.

 

The call of the void is that physical and mental pull that you feel to jump off that cliff, fall off that building, or even walk infront of that car coming down that road.

 

That inexplainable, gravitational pull that we physically feel on our bodies to make that single motion, many of which include falling or jumping.

 

That silence and moment of numbness that makes us wonder what it would feel like to feel our bodies make contact with that surface that we very well know will harm us.

 

You know that call, you have felt that call, or will feel that call.

 

That call is something we all hear, a call many of us even feel like answering.
