In a space surrounded by nothing... but a faint smell of Astra. I don't know why but it feels familiar in a way like it's... home. Never mind that, let's just look around.
As I navigate my way through these clouds of thick fog, I find myself losing its sense of consciousness and before I even knew it. I was on some sort of platform... a high platform. And if I correctly remember it is called a staircase.
I looked around and again there it was the same nothing. There was one and only one thought going through my head: Where am I?
I walked up the stairs. After a while I paused and looked down while holding the railings, it seemed like I was going up on one of them loopy swirl stairs. It looked like it would take me endless hours just to reach the bottom, so I'll just go up.
I looked up and sighed.
I continued walking up the stairs for what felt like hours. I feel tired... exhausted... and bored, but some kind of force kept me going: curiosity or... a goal? No that's not right but it's something.
I heard something. Something just now... And it sounded like an endless cycle [clock], is it calling something? Or is that something just me. My eyelids grew heavier as I continued wondering what was-
Just like that my eyes fell shut and I was swallowed by subconsciousness. I felt empty and like a withered rose [dead] so I gave up what supposedly was called strength left in me. I held my self who was curled up like a newborn baby in my arms and time felt backward in the moment.
In a sudden jolt of shock I opened my eyes and there I was again surrounded by that same nothingness... but now it was slightly different.
I was now sitting on a-? I'm not quite sure but I was above the stairs... There it was again the same sound of that endless cycle, it sounded like it was very close behind me. My mind went blank. I just stared at something.
Then I started falling... I blankly looked up as I fell down everything around me looked swirly and loopy. It seems the endless cycle had pushed me off as if it had something I had [hands].
There was a feeling of sadness within me. I faded, again, into what's left of my subconscious, empty and now cold.
