Description With regret and sadness she looked back only to see that her home, the lovely internet kingdom of Tinier Me had already been deleted and it was the blank white nothingness that pulled the tears from her eyes as she finally realized what her death would be like... Even if there was a virtual afterlife, Selfy would no longer feel the charges of life that the outside world of creators brought to her world of creation. She would never hear the typed-out voices of the million subjects of her failed utopia or see the smiling faces of their avatars as they poked around in Selfy Town hoping to acquire more friend requests. It was an awful realization and princess Selfy did not even know how to express her feelings for this loss but to cling to Kokoro tighter. She looked up at The Grim who was waiting for her to proceed with the death process and the thought struck her "would anyone even miss her?" The past few months had been a little harsh with the income and site prospects drought and the price raise of clothing fodder for subjects of the kingdom. Many subjects were quite enraged with the sudden changes and sent all sorts of hateful messages to the palace... some subjects even moved to other kingdoms, leaving their virtual assets to rot and take up space in a crowding virtual kingdom. "Perhaps they did not care for me anymore," thought the princess, enveloped in grieving sobs. "Perhaps I should have handled things better when the harsh times fed upon my kingdom's prosperity," she said as she broke down into uncontrolled sobbing. She thought back on her actions, how she tried to pretend everything was alright so not to frighten her subjects of the pixel famine that was to come, or how she kept all the unfortunate news secret when she was finally forced to give up her kingdom, crown and being when the masters of her virtual existence gave up on her. The waves of angry messages suddenly started to scream in her head as she continued recalling the last weeks of her kingdom's existence... Perhaps no one really cared about her or her kingdom... She was always told that as a leader, she must always keep her head high and never mention anything to be wrong to her subjects... she did what she thought any good leader would do... but it apparently was not good enough... the people really hated her and probably rejoiced at her untimely demise... At this point she was reduced to a babbling mess of utter remorse at the foot of her death, curled up with only Kokoro to comfort her and soak up the fountain of tears streaming from her eyes.
The Grim looked down at her, not really with concern but with understanding. Every soul The Grim sentenced had some sort of moment of sorrowful realization but the princess held more sadness than the average living soul, let alone virtual souls. Grims are not suppose to give a soul closure for fear of damaging the soul's consistency for what lies ahead but this Grim could not help its desire to console the broken princess. The Grim leaned down to the mess of tears and whispered to her, "Princess, why do you feel so much despair?" Selfy looked up at The Grim with her swollen, tear-filled eyes. It took her a minute to compose herself enough to give an answer but right as she was able to think of a reply, another thought overtook her concentration: her twin sister of a similar kingdom was spared while she was left for death by the overlords of her virtual existence. Selfy's thoughts once again began to spiral out of control until she cam to the second conclusion that even her own creator hated her and caused these past months of trouble for the purpose of turning her subjects against her... "Maybe I deserved this" was the final thought to spawn in her mind of drowning sorrow... At this point, the princess was beyond tears and just slumped into a mere stump of a soul with an empty look in her swollen eyes...
- End of Part 1 -
---
Well that story is taking longer than I expected... I initially planned it to be a five line description of Selfy's feelings but then something caused a reaction and exploded into something that is not five lines... I thought I could just end it here but I think this story need a bit of a redeeming factor rather than this as its ending (besides the picture to the second part will be really cute)...
I wish I had the ability to time stop a little section of TM for myself and a select amount of people that my friends are close to but cutting off who gets to stay in the time stop and who does not would be a cruel job because so many people want TM to last forever...
It makes me sad that TM is closing also but yesterday I realized that there is so much beautiful selfy art here that it can almost recreate memories of TM...
I think Japan TM should just have a language option on their site that translates everything (not including threads and diaries) so that all nations can play... they would also get more money that way... It would also be nice if they just merged our accounts with japan TM... but this is all wishful thinking

Okay, I might talk more on the internet the next few days when I will be visiting my grandparents (since their house is kind of boring)
Maybe one day you will meet up with those friends on another site... When Skye Endless Realm starts up, are you going to make an account?

The site still does not have a launch date but they do have a Facebook page (if you do that sort of thing) there is a homepage for the site but the actual game is not yet finished...
If you put your email and a pic of your selfy here, you can get a special packet for the site when it airs...

I like how the story seems to mirror what's actually happening to TinierMe. Very descriptive, even if most of it came from imagination. I'm sure many TM players are visualizing similar things. It's still upsetting that everything's getting deleted, though.

Thank you... I really hope to finish the second half before TM closes... Maybe I will the day before it closes or while I am playing on TM the eve of the 10th to watch as the figurative eclipse ends the little virtual world...
Do you have any plans for the apocalypse?
