My mind, heavy and foggy, fell into an unpleasant confusion. I swore, I cursed the incessant din around . The noises of the neighbours, these familiar yet unbearable, resounded in my head, preventing from finding even the slightest respite. After two sleepless nights, I had resigned myself to give up all hope of sleep, despite overwhelming fatigue. Then, all of a sudden, the air and the tumult stopped. Only a soft, soothing voice remained in silence.
It was definitely my lucky day, I thought, as I let myself be bewitched by this voice that seed to rock in a calm and insidious abyss.
Gradually, a tallic sll invaded my nostrils, an iron sll, heavy and persistent. Too exhausted to care, I let my thoughts escape in the darkness of sleep.
A few minutes passed, but a strange sensation grew in . Why does this iron sll, heavy and persistent, persist, making its way into my senses, encrusted with an insistence that irritated ? Why did this voice, monotonous and yet strangely soothing, seem so close, when I should not have been surrounded by my loneliness? A shiver ran through . But the fatigue, unavoidably, pushed once more into unconsciousness.
Then, a light of unbearable intensity plucked from my sleep. My eyes opened, and at once a flurry of pain passed through . In an instant, a cold terror ca to replace the pain and fatigue. A supernatural cold crept into my veins, paralyzing . My thoughts collided with each other in a chaotic whirlwind. Had I seen a silhouette, a movent? Why did the voice seem so close, as if it were touching , when I should not have been surrounded by my loneliness? Was it a dream turned nightmare?
Panic suffocated . My heart was beating so fast I could feel it in my throat. I had to open my eyes again. Understand. Everything would beco clear if I did this simple gesture.
My anxious nature faded. Frozen, unable to move, my mind was drowned under an avalanche of hypotheses, thoughts that collided and dispersed without logic. I could not hear the voice. It had been silent, absorbed in the unknown. I knew that it was enough to open my eyes, just a second. A fraction of a second, and all would be revealed.
But everything was gone. The light. The voice. The silence. All was gone, leaving only this iron sll, omnipresent, heavy, and always persistent.
Ti dilated. The minutes stretched, seeming to rge with eternity. And then, an obsessive thought invaded my mind: I had to open my eyes, there was no more escape.
I took a trembling breath, gathering all the courage I had left. Then, with a determined movent, I opened my eyes.
A shock. What I saw froze my blood. It was not a figure, but a multitude. Hundreds of entities, floating in an abyss of darkness. Their presence, infinitely foreign, paralyzed . But my gaze stopped on one of them.
It wasn't a man. It wasn't a woman. It was one thing. An entity humanoid, without traits, without sex. A form devoid of all humanity. It seed to defy the laws of reality. An imasurable presence, both angelic and demoniac, supernatural, unchanging. I knew without a shadow of doubt that it was from her that the voice ca, calm, destabilizing. It floated in the air, raised above all, like a creature of another world, of another ti. There was no heaven here. No light. Just an infinite void, an endless abyss, where these forms were floating, lost in the darkness. And he, the higher being, stood at the top of this scene, as a shadow of absolute power.
The stench of iron again overwheld . My gaze descended, drawn by this unrelenting sll. What I saw seed unreal. Human pieces, shredded, dispersed without order. My body froze. Disgust invaded . I could only stare at these scattered pieces, frozen in a deaf terror. The horror embraced . I wanted to scream, yell, but no sound ca out of my mouth. I was no more than a silhouette trembling, paralyzed by fear, disgust, the absurdity of the scene. My bowels twisted, the nausea overwheld . I vomited.
Just at that mont, a figure appeared beside , like an invisible threat: 0:03, 0:02, 0:01...
Before I could think about what was going on, a flash of bright light blinded . A voice, strong and authoritative, resounded in my mind, echoing in my soul:
