The Void-

“How did you get here..?” A voice echoed within the darkness.

“I… I don’t know..” I answered honestly. Having no reason to lie while simultaneously not actually knowing how I got here. I was just sitting in my living room and now… I was floating, in a void.

“You’re a peculiar looking thing… Are you human? Or perhaps a Pleiadian?” The voice asked. Now hearing it speak more, it sounded more masculine but very soft.

“I am a human.” I responded. “Even thought sometimes, I feel like I’m nothing at all..”

Small white specks started to appear in front of me, which confused me considering there was no light anywhere. Only darkness. Only an echo.

The specks of light came together to form a figure, a person. They had no distinct features, they didn’t even have a face, or hair. Just a bright outline of a humanoid creature.

“I see… A human, appearing in a black hole. How strange. Your kind has been trying to figure me out for centuries and yet, you randomly end up here on a whim. How odd.”

My eyes widen. A black hole? How in hell did I end up in a black hole?! I was just in my living room, enjoying being alone.

As I was silently panicking to myself, the being chuckled as they came closer to me. “No need to be panicked, little one.” It said, leaning their face closer to mine. “You have nothing to fear, but I do sense that you have many questions. I may not be able to answer them all, but I can answer most.”

It said as it reached its hands out to me to grab mine, pulling my body along with it as we floated through nothingness.

I bombarding it with questions, about the world, humans, our purpose, my purpose. To which he had told me that the world has no significance. One day, the world existed and soon, it will not, and like it did years before, another world will come, and new beings will form on that one.

It said that humanities purpose is not to suffer or to destroy or survive. Humanities purpose is to experience and love, to live life without fear and hatred, but not to perpetually be happy. To experience all emotions, to be open to all things.

It told me… I was to explore. To understand, and to break myself.

“Break your sense, break your thoughts and your brain. Don’t think rationally. Break your ears, don’t hear the sounds around you, listen to what’s going on inside you, and live life on when you feel, not what you see.”

Our conversation lasted what felt like hours, about creation and the meaning to everything that exists.

And as our conversation came to an end, I began to bid my goodbye.

“I have to leave.. But I hope I can see you again.” It chucked. “You will. When your time runs out, and the flame gets snuffed, you will see me again, and we will talk again.”

That thought made me smile and I leaned forward to hug it. It felt of warmth and… calmness.

“Goodbye, starlight.” It’s words ricocheted in my brain as my vision was invaded with light, and I woke up.

On my couch, laid on my back with a book on my chest, looking up to my ceiling which had been crushed and broken through by a crater.

With the house ablaze and the sky on fire, the sound of ambulances and sirens ringing through the city, I smiled.

Knowing I would be able to see the Void again very soon.
