Events evolve, repeat, on loop like an endless #gramophone record, pickup needle following along with the deep cuts in the fabric of reality, wearing the grooves down, and down, until nothing but a grey blur of shapeless noise is left. And still it doesn't end.

The old raven perched, lazily, on a mountain, basking its ruffled feathers in the setting sun. Today had been busy, full of preparations for the coming of the Darkness. So much to do. But it was weary of its job. Soon all of existence would be no longer and it could finally rest.

The raven sighed when it saw a candle light up in the valley below and thought: "I'll let the murder of crows handle it."

I felt oneness in nothingness, a slow spinning through eternity, unraveled strands of thought decomposed into discrete shards of motion - mind filled to the brim as I became the void.

"Yes, like that, now slowly pull the intestines out...watch out, don't tear it...yes. Now throw it in the air!"
The witch's apprentice nervously giggled, then #cast the baby's innards in the air.
They flopped to the cabin's floor. The charm was cast.

It was already late, near my curfew, so I took a shortcut through the park, past the old well - which fell into disrepair before my Mum was born - when suddenly I heard a cough, a gasp and splashing.
That alone was strange enough in itself, but my blood ran cold when I heard my own, desperate voice cry out for help from the bottom of the well.
Then I heard something else, a wet shmack, and all was silent. I never ran so hard in my life.

We are vacuous space, empty save for clumps of matter feebly clinging to each other for warmth, to form habitats. A whoosh, then a fwoomp, and a small flotilla appears, robbing us of emptiness, a brazen taking of nothing from us.

We do not accept.

The tiniest shift in pressure and their ships crack, an infinitesimal escape for their precious oxygen.

And we wait.
