Time seemed to stand still here. Behind me the remains of the doorway melted away. I floated in nothinngess and felt scared. I screamed, but I didn't hear my own voice. There were other voices whispering around me.
I stayed in that place for what seemed like hours, envisioning landscapes I'd never seen before except on paintings.
Then there was a shadow in front of me. It startled me, and I bounced away. But then I looked for a while at the man floating there as he reached out to me. He took my hands in his and squeezed them.
"Don't worry," said his voice above the whispers, "you’ll be home soon."
"Really?" I asked. Then came the questions I should have asked firs. "Who are you? Where am I? What is this?" My curiosity came back and defeated my fears. With someone else nearby, I didn't feel lost any more. I sighed and looked up at him.
"Alright," I said. "I will trust you." Then I did the boldest thing I had ever done in my life. I made him change his mind from creating a portal to explaining this nothingness to me. I went eveen further and asked where he lived.
He told me his name was Keneth, and thatr there would be time enough for him to tell me his life story. Then he floated to a door that hadn't been there before, and I could only follow.
I breathed fresh air again, and felt raindroplets on my head. I was also still curious...adn very reluctant to ask the way home. I was too glad that I didn't have to stay in that void forever. The helplesness, the dispair, I never wanted to feel that again.
