The unanswerable question

"Why??!!"

 She yelled at the top of her lungs, not paying attention to the rain falling upon her forcefully, almost as if some hidden power was trying to silence her. "Why???!!" she insisted.

But no answer came, there was no possibility of an answer to come for there was no one there on that rooftop but her. She looked at the cloudy sky trying to peer through the fierce rain, wind blowing in her face making every breath that much harder.

"I can't know! Why can't i know!"

The sky roared at her as she looked at it defiantly while panting hysterically.

" I have this..... consciousness. Which was enforced upon me through no choice of my own and then I have to deal with it. I have to listen to it constantly picking at the one question. The one question that drove many a man into MADNESS!"

She kept yelling at the sky without a soul to hear her. She yelled and waved and jumped frantically.

"I can know anything!" she held out her phone, a single light shone from it in the empty darkness that encompassed her.

"look here" she said holding up to the sky "I can get any answer to anything, on anything, any time! but not that question, I've searched and searched and searched..... I CAN'T FIND IT!"

She throw her phone off the building and watched the light getting dimmer and dimmer as it sank into the darkness of the street.

"I'm going to know, you can't stop me from knowing. The question will be answered, nothing else interest me, nothing gives me satisfaction!"

She stood on the ledge, she didn't even catch her breath to think. She leaned over and turned around to look at the sky, the fall was deep and she felt the rain pouring on her as the wind howled in her ears. "I will know...." was the last word she uttered.
