A vast white space stretched out before me. My mind ran wild with questions of how I ended up here and trying to figure out what was going on. Where exactly was here? Silence suffocated me. Since several centuries ago, silence had been an enemy of mine. Now it was here. The thought I would never escape it fogged the rest of my thoughts.
It felt like forever before sounds came alive. The noise was unexpected, though.
"What do you want?" blasted through the space. The words echoed at least three times before stopping.
I glanced around, but no one was there. The space was clean. Too clean.
"Stop!" came at me even louder than the first phrase.
