endless epiphanies

Chapter 2: prologue

Chapter Text


Falling. Falling. You're falling.

Why are you falling?

You raise your arms above you, reaching for what you think to be the sky as you sink into the murky depths of what you can't describe. Lowering down into what you think to be an endless abyss, too scared to even cry out for help as you shake your head around, finding only blackness and darkness. You try to stand, but even as you do so there's nowhere to lay your feet on, left to drown only further and further into the unknown.

You can hear the sound of a small static, a small crackle trying to make itself known. You wonder if the broken voice is trying to talk to you, trying to make out words as you crane your ears back, eyes slightly widened due to how surreal this whole experience is.

Why are you here? Is this a dream? What's going on? Are you awake right now? Have you passed away? It's these questions that only lead you to uselessly try and reach the surface again, tears finally streaming past your eyes and in a defiance of gravity floating upwards despite your best attempts to follow and chase up with them.

"-hear me. #@nw!.2 can't hear me."

You can feel your breath hitch. you're not alone, and that knowledge solely is enough to ignite something inside you, setting up a flame that you come to name as you're slowly picking up fragments in events to come. What has lit inside you is hope.

"#### working! it's-"

The voice fades out and you can't help the panic that comes with that. You open your lips, noting how chapped they are as you speak, a dry and hoarse tone that would usually leave you embarrassed leaving your throat.

"Where am i? Where.... am i?"

You don't receive a response. you can't help but succumb to the growing feeling replacing the one that only just arrived, shutting your eyes and letting yourself drift off. You'll wake up soon, for some reason you seem to know. though it seems there is nothing you can do at the current moment to free yourself of this predicament.

You fall and fall and continue to keep falling.

And through that, the faint feeling of despair has already begun to crack itself inside your hope.
