My wife, my son, my daughter are gone. That’s a fact. I’m not from here, and I’m horrified by this universe. My world - you wouldn’t believe it. It’s perfect. It was a perfect world, unlike this one. And most importantly, no one ever aged - that’s right, we lived forever and ever. No one ever died either.
The first thought that occurred to me when I arrived here is “I’m going to die. I’m going to age, grow old and nasty, and then die.” In my homeworld, we waged a war against death long ago and we won. We won eons ago, and nobody ever aged or died. This world lost the war against death. Everyone born in this world ages and dies horribly.
I want to describe my world in more detail, so you can burn it into your hearts. We are born to parents, who are always loving and caring. We grow, hit puberty, and have young love. Everyone always meets their perfect partner. No one is ever lonely. We marry, have children, and these children repeat the process all over again. Each family formed is always perfect. One son and one daughter.
In this world, people often get lonely, even suicidal. I’m looking at r/lonely and r/suicidewatch here. In this world, nothing ever seems to work out for everyone. Some people and families do get lucky and avoid the brunt of the negativity, but even they face death within the century from the curse of aging. My wife, my son, my daughter are gone. They’re in my homeworld. Not here. Over there. Safe. It’s me who is in danger.
Is it really true that within several decades the natural entropy of this world will decay my flesh, so that my skin wrinkles? That I will soon have gray hair and become infirm? That decades after that, I will lose mobility, and finally, suffer death - something that doesn’t even exist where I’m from?
I’m terrified, and you should be too. I want to go home, but I don't have a way to travel there. My world exists in another dimension. In the meantime, I’m counting the decades before my inevitable death in this cursed world, shouting Help! Help! to anyone who can hear me. No one can help. Everyone in this cursed world dies all the same.
