The pain was gone. No longer consuming me in mind, body and possibly more than I imagined.
In place of the previous pressuring torment I instead felt nothing. No hands, mouth, legs and other things that a body should feel was not there.
I felt light. Unburdened by gravity. Forgotten and ignored like a child or pet chosen by the unworthy and irresponsible.
My mind though or some form of it was there. Helping and making me realize what I'm going through.
Making me understand that my body could not feel and would not respond to my whims and thoughts.
The moment I realized this completely I lost the little relevance of sanity that I had and did one thing.
I screamed. Louder than I ever thought or wished to do. My screams shook wherever I was or atleast it should have.
My screams never came. I felt my incomplete being shake and contort trying to scream. I should have announced myself to all near with the sound that followed.
Imstead no sound came from me and the space around me remained undisturbed. I tried screaming louder and move parts that I no longer had.
It showed no change no matter what I did. Unchanged like a hero that refused to let those in front of harm those behind them.
I realized that I could not change it and that was so much more worse than I ever could have imagined.
I was in a new place. Unformed and lost. Trying to scream to display my existence and where I was wouldn't let me.
That felt more cruel than anything else including even my own violent death.
The fact something so ingrained in nature or the natural way was denied from is more than I could manage.
All beings even not living whether aware or unaware change the space in some way to announce themselves.
Children born announce themselves screaming at the pain and discomfort they feel.
Trees and plant life change the space around them by growing and affecting weather, climate and animal habitats.
Creatures of the sea birth others, eat others and interact with others in attempt to announce themselves by causing change.
I thought to try doing something else to make the space aware of me. I searched my mind like a man doomed and lost in a desert with no water.
I was just like the man who was dying of thirst, praying for help and salvation. I instead of being saved found myself as the man who just now died of thirst and my current self out of ideas.
Faced with no way out. No help to pluck me out of this hell. I chose to give up and hope something or someone to help me.
I relaxed completely and floated lightly through the space like one would on the ocean before a great storm.
Unaware that the present calm would pass slowly and be replaced by extreme pressure.
The time passed slowly and felt even slower.
I began to think that in some mysterious way I was perhaps cursed somehow to be stuck here forever.
Thankfully I was wrong. The moment I lost all hope a great sound came from the space around me and something greater appeared.
I was instantly excited and happy that I was no longer alone. I should have felt fear from whatever or whoever entered this space but I did not feel such expected fear.
I rushed towards the spaces new arrival like a child or pet who had not seen their parents and were happy at their arrival.
I was standing before it quickly not slowed down by my lack of physical legs. Looking up or somehow observing its greatness even without eyes.
I waited for it to somehow bypass the restriction of sound. I was certain it could speak and I was not wrong to think so.
"Young child i am so sorry that you have been in this space alone." It spoke with sadness and conviction.
"The fault of this all belongs to me.. I should have stopped that man before he could cause damage."
It continued speaking sadly before refocusing its attention on me.
"I'm here to send you somewhere better."
It looked deeply at me for a few moments before it showed distress while moving closer to me. "That madman has somehow locked your essence to a specific universe."
Madman? Is he some psycho higher level being? Did I bite off more than I could chew?
I tried speaking for the first time in a long time and surprisingly succeeded. "So I'm stuck here?"
The being smiled at my question and soothed my rising distress. "No young child.. it's just that your destination is already decided along with your next body."
I pressed another question. "So I can still leave?"
The being nodded and spoke. "Yes though I must warn you that where you will be going is not a easy place."
It paused speaking momentarily and then continued. "Your new body will also test you greatly and possibly more than the next world."
It looked at me and asked me its final question. "Will you still go?"
Do I want to go? Even something as powerful as the one before me is expressing such caution.
What makes something like them fear for me. Am I strong enough to stand against what's ahead of me?
I got lost in thoughts of danger deeply though not for long because I remembered something. Men like me don't know when to stop.
I'm here now because of that reason so why would I start living cautiously now?
I looked at the being before me and spoke. "Yes I will go matter what."
The being smiled and spoke loudly. "Then I send you off child not to danger and peril but instead to new horizons."
I felt myself begin preparing to leave and fading away slowly.
I didnt panic and spoke slowly. "Thank you for sending me off." "No matter what will happen later know I was happy."
The moment I finished my last word. I had faded completely.
