Eve
The darkness around me was not ominous. Peace was a constant. I navigated the space like I had walked its halls all my life. I had been walking for a while, just content in feeling out the serenity.
The silence hummed like a song, the air possessing no temperature: neither hot nor cold.
I reached for things I could not see, them reaching out and caressing my fingers in return.
The emptiness echoed in my mind, it too being blank in a way that did not bother me. My soul sang a strange tune that I found myself humming along to.
I lulled my head from side to side, my body pulling toward a point I did not know. The light tugs at my chest were not unpleasant—more like a tickle.
I continued to hum, filling the quiet with a melody I did not know how I remembered.
Suddenly, the melody snapped and dropped.
And just like that, the timeless and formless space I found myself in began to press against me with a pressure that was physical. It went deeper and far more eerie than that.
