The Garden of Eden... a place thought to be the beginning for all human life forms in some religions. She isn't dead this man is also a diver. So he isn't God. Even though his handsome features and thin fit figure accompanied with his powerful yet calm demeanor could have swayed her to the contrary. So what is this place? and how can someone control where they dive? that is unheard of.
" No one can control their dive" she stated mater of factly. Nathaniel chuckled at her words.
" Oh to the contrary ... when someone is trained they can control their dives. It requires a lot of skill. That is why I am so surprised to see you here. " He took a long pause staring at Maggie intently. He seemed intrigued but kept some distance. " I come here every dive. This is my place to escape the chaos of the space and time we live in on Earth". She could see why. This place was calming and peaceful. Without her hand on the tree she felt no pain, hungry ,sadness or anger. Her feelings were almost monotone. This was her first dive into a place that was not a dimension of Earth.
Could this be what he means by diving this far? could she have dived past the Earthly planes into a higher consciousness that happen to be on the same plane as this man?
She pondered her thoughts for moment.
" So I could come back to see you?" She was blushing intently. She didn't mean for it to sound like a date. He nodded with a playful twinkle in his eye. " If you wish to see me again.. little owl"
She tried to correct her statement " I mean I could come back to this place... this dimension... but how do I control were I go? "
Nathaniel sighed "its not that easy. But I would advise you look at what you longed for before you ate that candy. What did your soul need. You dive to the place that helps you the most. You unconscious mind controls it. Don't let your conscious mind with all it's chaos and noise clutter you. " He took a few steps closer to Maggie and held out his hand. Without fear or hesitation she took it. Nathial smiled " now close your eyes. Think about what brought your here" She obeyed. Closing her eyes she felt a warmth rush over her. Then she saw the events unfold before her. Creep, the walk home , the wax melts. All the while she just thought of one thing... peace. Peace from her own thoughts. Peace from the noise, the pain, the everyday grind. But before she could Usher another sound she felt cold. Then she felt numb. Oh no! She was slipping off the plane. She had started to sink back to Earth. It wasn't long before all there was was black. Opening her eyes staring at the same spot with the wall paper falling off.
" Nathanial "... she whispered to herself. She barely got to know him. All she had was his name. How was she going to find him in the real world if she never dives again... Placing the pillow over her head she let out a muffled scream and kicked her legs on the bed. Call it an adult temper tantrum if you will.
Sitting up after her outburst, a crack in the door revealed a light was on in the other room. Someone was in her house... she felt it. This disturbance in her home could have caused the premature end to her dive.
