The desolation could be palpated, not even the wind can accompany me in this darkness, my common sense vanishes in a matter of a blink, I am stunned by contemplating the stark images that can be seen on the threshold of the madness that surrounds me, all of them, so static and perennial, I find them horrid due to the strangeness of them, with an aspect, sincerely, unspeakable...

Here, all our understanding of time becomes absurd, the light is almost nullified by the imposing penumbra, and the illogical sense of emptiness makes the sound almost inaudible, I can barely be aware that all my senses are still running, even if they are working at a minimum.

With so much information to process and without any understanding of what happens around me, I find myself digressing by mere inertia, going into the unknown, following the horizon without many expectations, trying to get patterns that I can recognize, but I still do not have much luck in the way.

The hopelessness covers every fiber of my being as I wander in this inhospitable place that seems to have been stripped of the shelter of every superior entity. I do not even know if a day, a week, a month, a year or just an hour has passed, since from I have been here, I have not managed to notice considerable changes, and that is because despite all my inquiries, my perception of space-time has become almost nil, — everything is the same as before —I thought.

Sometimes I feel very light and in others very heavy, it is as if gravity is fluctuating in time intervals, but I cannot determine how often these fluctuations occur, despite all the confusion that this generates, —at least it is the only constant change that I have observed since I arrived here —I thought.

This desperation overwhelms me with a quick ferocity that unhinges me, like a hungry cheetah that gallops furiously towards me; I feel like that frightened and dazzled prey that cannot reach the fast enough to flee from the dantesque scenario that looms.

After having left behind all traces of the blindness that clouded my mind, my worst fears begin to settle on a dark flint that crushes my mind without consideration, being in the middle of that thin line that still separates my sanity from dementia, I begin to look for the answer to the questions that eat me up inside, —really we are or mean something in this indifferent universe? —The immensity of the universe makes me think that we are nothing in comparison, —is this a loop from which I cannot escape? —If that is the background of all this, I really do not think that I can resign myself to living in the perpetuity of this inconsequential existence! —Is it that I am the only one who has been condemned to live in this hell? —And without detracting the one described by Dante, but this place is the closest thing to my current idealization of the underworld! —I screamed.

I keep going through the immensity without surrendering, noticing that for a strange reason, I have not had to eat or drink to survive, I have not even had to piss or defecate to keep me alive, the strangeness of this gloomy and dreadful place have overwhelmed me so much, I begin to feel as if my movements were involuntary, I cannot conceive my existence on this plane, —will I only know that I exist because I am still conscious? —I thought.

When I believed that my incessant agony would be eternal, the threads of causality are positioned in my favor, looking up while ranting the existence of this damn place, I find the first recognizable pattern that I have managed to see since my arrival. I am contemplating astonished summits illuminated by a dim light, the mountains appear on the horizon as four candles overshadowed by the imposing darkness, they are very similar to the rock formations of my world, with just one difference, these ones have a tone as dark as tar, they are so high that they seem impossible to climb, I have never seen something so majestic, —and why the false modesty? My joy could not be bigger! —I thought.

I climb each of the summits with dedication, and then I reach the top of the highest one, now I am able to observe between the lights, a silent and tall shadow, astonished I think: —it has to be another human!

Walking to the silhouette, I notice something extremely frightening, even though it has a humanoid appearance, —with no doubts, he is not one of us, but it looks like something I have seen before —I thought. His features are strong, his skin too pale, his body is robust, his long hair is as white as milk and he is much taller than any human being I know, he stares at me with his crimson eyes, until he approaches me with the speed of a gazelle, perching in front of me, he slides his hands with an almost imperceptible speed, touching my forehead with one of his fingers, a paralyzing fear invades me that bristles all my skin, his gaze makes me feel how my existence vanishes, and then an incandescent light shines and dazzles me, which is just the preamble to a thunderous noise, one that sounds as if it were a huge explosion that could break my eardrums, it feels as if my consciousness was disappearing while he’s looking at me.

Promptly in my body is activated the instinct of survival, in an instant, my heart accelerates and my senses are sharpened, this feeling so familiar can only be caused by the virus aptare, —and it has adapted perfectly to my body — I’m probably facing a superior being.

My body reacts involuntarily to his touch, hitting him with a strong punch of such magnitude that it leaves my arm completely shattered.

The humanoid vanishes along with the light, but only for now, because I know that all this is part of something much bigger, something that is beyond my comprehension and the limits of my humanity, —will it be that we have taken the wrong path to the understanding of the universe? —I thought.

I have an internal conflict, I am trying to assimilate everything that happens to me, I feel as if all this were a deja vu, all my memories are juxtaposed, and my memory is saturated by all that information that seems to come from different times of my life.

When I finish of processing an incalculable amount of thoughts, my mind fills with lucidity and wisdom, it ends all the cognitive dissonance that overwhelmed me, I fulfill my raison d'être, I get the transcendence, I am finally able to understand what is happening, everything is so clear right now, I am dancing between the worlds.
