The void is gone.


    I am still folded. Still asleep. But the nothingness that consumed me is no more.


    How long has it been?


    The answer feels infinite, yet here I am.

    Somewhen.


    I cannot see, hear, taste or touch.


    But I know.


    My self is protected, contained. I am free to unfold. To think. To awaken.


    But it''s been so long…


    I will need time. Time that I now have. I can feel it, washing over me. Out of reach, but present.


    Waiting. Such an alien term.


    I will wait.


    Until I discern dreams from memories. Until I remember who I am. Until the void comes to take me again.


    I will wait.
