I now have a story. This story is Gnostic themed. 

It's Marks birthday, he is now twelve. After a busy day celebrating Mark goes to bed. In the middle of the night Mark is terrorized by a nightmare involving a cloaked figure chasing him in a world of black abyss. Mark wakes from the dream to find a small creature resting at the foot of his bed staring at him with it's big black eyes that stand out all the more against it's pale skin. He is terrified but can't move. The creature fades away and Mark dares not to go back to sleep. 

The next day Mark is in low spirits. He is under preforming at school, and opts to laze in front of the T.V when he comes home. "What's the point in anything" echos in his mind as we see the grey alien on the T.V.  

We cut to a few months later. Mark has put on a considerable amount of weight. He looks very unhappy. He sits in a therapists office. "Mark, you know you can tell me anything." Marks expression doesn't change as he says "there's nothing to talk about". "Mark, what's wrong with you?" "Nothing is what's wrong with me." says Mark. 

We next see Mark in his room he sit's before a letter, it is a suicide note. Standing behind him is the grey alien. Mark is holding a dagger, the grey alien stares intently. Marks thought's can be heard repeating the words "Do it coward", "Waste of space"  and "Everything is pointless Mark and nothing matters". Mark is lost in thought. He raises the dagger in the air and bares his arm. He exclaims "If everything is pointless and nothing matters, then it doesn't matter that it is pointless." He tosses the dagger away from himself. "I thought nothing mattered but that is exactly what has mattered to me. I matter to my family and friends, they matter to me, in this daze I have forgotten to care about them." "No, you are wrong nobody cares or matters" a voice in Marks mind states. Mark gets up and turns around to see the grey alien. "It was you all along" mark says aloud. The grey does not move but continues starring at him. "You will one day day die, why bother living?" the voice in Marks head said. Mark answered back "Because I dare to care about my life." The grey just stares and starts to fade away. Mark is left in his room alone.
