Prologue
The first thing he saw was darkness. It was very dark, so very dark. So dark that it was blinding. It was like a mist had covered his senses, blocked all form of escape and for a moment, a fleeting tiny moment, he felt helpless but immediately he forced it down. And then came the light.
If the darkness was blinding, the light was more so. It covered everything from edge to edge. He dared not open his eyes for fear that he would burn. And when it reduced he felt relief. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was standing in a sort of hall without a specific base shape. It was not dark, he noted, but it was not bright either. He looked at the walls and was surprised at how dark they were. He tried to repress his shudder but shuddered anyway and turned away from the walls that look as if they were entries to a black hole that continued to eat and consume forever and ever.
And then he noticed that he was standing in the only bright spot on the floor. It seemed as if there was a spotlight focusing solely on him and he did not like it. it made him feel like an animal in a zoo. An oddity to be examined and experimented upon. Seems like it is dark after all, he thought. And then he looked toward his front to understand why he had been brought there.
"Hello Light," a voice said full of confidence with authority and power, "Welcome, I hope you have satisfied your curiosity."
