He opened his eyes. It was dark.
At first he thought that maybe he just hadn't really woken up yet, but after a while he realized it.
It was dark, like pitch black, he thought it was strange. It was not the kind of darkness you see when you have your eyes closed or any other type he had ever seen. It was deep. When he looked at it, it felt like he was being consumed.
"Fuck I'm not blind right?" the boy thought to himself.
"No" he speculated cause he was able to see his own pair of feet and hands.
Then he realized he was floating, he hadn't thought about it because he was so scared that he might be blind.
But now he took notice of how there didn't appear to be anything solid underneath him. It was a weird feeling, more so because it didn't feel weird at all, more than anything it felt natural.
It was exactly like standing or laying down but there just wasn't anything underneath him.
He slowly tried to take a step. It worked!
In this weird space that confined him, where you couldn't stand on solid ground you could still walk?
He thought it felt like a dream, then he started to wonder if this actually was a dream. What else could it be?
As he was thinking about if he actually was awake or were sleeping he started to walk.
It felt normal, too normal for someone walking on literally nothing.
The thought came to him that if he wasn't dreaming he should know his own name and age, but he didn't.
So he made the conclusion that he had to be asleep.
Somewhere in the real world, not whatever this was, he was laying in a comfortable bed somewhere, dreaming. That single thought in his mind was the only thing keeping him from starting to panic, "it was all going to be OK once he woke up", he told himself.
The boy continued walking, he didn't care what direction he went, as long as he kept moving forward.
After a while he saw something way ahead of him, it was something amazing. Light! He started sprinting towards the light.
It was only a very small and barely visible glint at first, it melted into the deep darkness, but it slowly got closer and closer. Very slowly.
"But wow what a long time it takes" the boy thought, it was like time moved slower here or didn't move at all.
He stopped as he was all out of breath. He thought of how irritating this all was, what was he even doing chasing some light in some dark void, "wait".
A scary thought suddenly came over him, "am i dead?".
He started to get really stressed and anxious but then he thought "I can't even remember to be alive why should I be so scared of being dead, what was the difference anyway?".
But it was a uncomfortable feeling, he had no memory of being alive, no memory of his parents or where he lived, his friends or hobbies, no memory at all.
Then the thought came to him "what if I've never have 🌞 been alive?".
But when he started thinking he came to the conclusion that him never being alive didn't make any sense.
He had a perfect memory of earth and things like basketball, "who would know what basketball was if they had never existed?". So he decided that he indeed had existed, he just didn't have any memories of his life. It bugged him that he didn't know how old he was or how he looked. So his gaze fell down at his body and he touched his face. He appeared to be in his late teen years. If he would've guessed (witch was really hard in here) he would be around 1.7 meters. He was more frail than bulky, but not so much that it looked weird.
Then he remembered the small light in the horizon. "I'm here now for whatever reason, why not go check out that weird light " and so he started walking towards the light again.
Now he really wanted to go to the light, he started to become bored of this darkness all around him, and at the moment he thought that he could bet his life(if he had any) that the light got closer.
He stopped "that's weird" he said out loud. But he got surprised, no voice was heard. He tried again "that's weird" no sound this time either, so he tried a third time "THAT'S WEIRD" he screamed for all his might. But there just wasn't any sound to be heard.
He gave up, if this weird Void didn't like noise he wasn't going to give it any.
He proceeded to walk towards the light this time thinking about why he couldn't hear any sound. "Maybe the Void was like a big vacuum cleaner, that sucked up sound waves".
He walked and walked but was in no way getting any closer to the light.
"Strange" he thought, the boy started to get frustrated and all he could think of was that damn light, why couldn't he get to it, then in some weird way the light source started to rapidly get closer. He got really confused, what had just happened?
Then he started to try to figure out what was going on here. If he didn't have any thoughts about wanting to go to the light he wouldn't get any closer, but if he filled his entire head with the thought that he really wanted to go there then he would get closer.
"That must be it!".
