Driven to desperation to solve the haunting visions experienced by the
|
|
hospital staff, I began to work among them since they were unable to express
|
|
what they had experienced, and now I think I understand why. I must try to
|
|
describe it in hopes the effort will enable me to understand what must be done
|
|
to rid us of these visions.
|
|
|
|
One moment I was working with the lab equipment when I felt a sensation like
|
|
being watched. When I turned, I suddenly found myself in what I can only
|
|
describe as a featureless expanse. But that's not entirely accurate. It was
|
|
like standing on the surface of the desert, but the desert was made more of
|
|
air than sand. And it moved like ocean, but at such a glacial pace I can't
|
|
explain how I knew it moved. In another sense, everything felt deathly still,
|
|
with a calm that surpassed any human sense of calm so thoroughly it breached
|
|
into the uncanny sensation of experiencing the razor's gap in the asymptotic
|
|
approach to the heat death of the universe.
|
|
|
|
Most unsettling of all, I had the sense that this was not merely a vision but
|
|
a memory. I can't explain why, but I'm absolutely certain of it. It was like
|
|
what one might imagine observing the universe through the eyes of one of the
|
|
damned gods like The Sprouting One might be like, though surely even an elder
|
|
god of void fungus would be looking at something. This was more like the sort
|
|
of breakdown people experience when they get too good at meditating and feel
|
|
their sense of self dissolving into the cosmos - the premature plummet from
|
|
the illusory safety in the sense of self to one's inevitable dissipation into
|
|
an entirely ambivalent cosmos.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, it was over as suddenly as it began, and I came back to my senses with
|
|
my eyes glued to a thoroughly mundane and insignificant microbe under the
|
|
microscope.
|
|
|
|
Be glad, microbe. At least someone's watching.
