Chapter 8

I watched as the number began to tick down every second, and even if I wanted to look at something else, I could not.

Right now I felt like an unknown entity floating in the depths of the abyss that we humans called space. However, unlike what people would usually imagine being in space would look like, I saw nothing but darkness.

There was not a single trace of light, not from the stars that were millions of light-years away from earth, nor the moon that we humans would see when looking towards the sky whenever it is night.

I couldn't feel my body, nor could I speak, turn my head or even move. It felt like I had become nothing but a conscience floating in the waves of the ocean with nothing but water in sight, being forced and dragged to wherever the waves would take me.

At this point, I couldn't even hear my own thoughts. All I could do was listen to the constant dings that entered my ear every time the timer went down by a second.
