The Book and Abyss

Motionless, I wearily opened my eyes to be greeted by expansive nothingness, devoid of all light that I had been accustomed to in a life bygone, my memories fading into the dark recesses of time. The pain, suffering, and agony that I had grown accustomed to throughout my life had vanished, remarkably, along with any ounce of happiness or joy that had remained. Surveying the landscape, I determined that the nothingness panned farther than any man dare venture. Resigning myself to an eternity of nothingness, I continued to motionlessly drift further into the void.
