Prologue: Today (1)

1.

Blackness.

The lack of existence. Nothing.

The passage of time. Minutes, hours, months, centuries – all one and the same. With the lack of existence comes a lack of perception. A void.

More blackness. Deep and penetrating.

A century passes. Perhaps a minute.

Semi-blackness. Darkness is divided from the deeper darkness. And the darkness suddenly seems brilliantly blinding. Existence slowly returns in fragments. A fluctuating haziness, like a glimpse of the moon on a cloudy day from 50 feet below the surface of the water.

The moon?

Something is wrong. Fluids maybe. Noises some – a ringing from the other end of a tube a thousand miles long. Indistinguishable.

Pressure. In some places sharper than others. What’s this? Pain? What is pain again? Oops, nothing important. The darkness returns.

Void. . .

Blackness. . .

Eternity. . .
