?-A Future Chapter

He stood me on the platform and pointed. Where he directed me to look I saw a Deep Blue Ball of Light descending towards us. It entered the tall, gleaming structure which had stood in waiting, patiently, and in its trail the structure dissipated to pure nothing-ness. It entered the ground, and nothing showed to mark its entrance.

"Get ready, this may be your last chance to..."

All at once the ground opened up like a sieve, and an intense Pink and Yellow (you couldn't tell which) Light streamed up from below.

"What is it?" I asked.

"No one knows what it is or why it is. Most people won't even come near here," he answered.

"Why?" I asked.

"Well, there have been incidents of people caught by the light, and they have come away profoundly amazed and raving about impossible things. But this was long ago, and no one has gone near them for generations."

This excited me terribly for no reason I could pinpoint. I suddenly knew that I must look into the light, yet there was no thought present. I looked up suddenly - the streams of light were blinking off!

"The holes are turning to Nothing," the man informed me.

I darted into the field towards the nearest beam. The number of beams were decreasing rapidly. I jumped to the ground and looked directly into the source!

I saw no beginning and no end. I saw all of it at once. My being was spread through the universe, evenly, infinitely. I was there for no time and all time.

And it ended.

He shook my arm. I looked at him. He was worried by what he saw in my eyes, even frightened.

"You would have to see it for yourself," I told him.
