Chapter 10: Et Ducit Mundum Per Luce

Mordecai felt the breeze of the cloud, even with gloves on. It was the softest, yet strangest, feeling he had ever had. The feeling was a pleasant one, for sure. For the first time in a long time, a smile began to grow across his face. Even with the pain he had felt for a long time, a smile still erupted, and it felt more magical than ever. Mordecai was happy. And then... phew. A silent explosion burst in his face. In the flames of the space cloud, he saw happy images once more. It made him feel good. It made him whole. What he didn't notice what that there was an object consuming his body. It looked like a an eye from the outside.

And in an instant, without any sudden warning, the object obtained Mordecai, without him even knowing it.

But there was now happiness in his body, and that was all that mattered anymore. For the first time in forever, Mordecai was going to see his wife and daughter. He couldn't wait until he met them again. He was going home. For good. He closed his eyes and waited for the journey home, or where ever this thing would be taking him to. Then, relaxation consumed him.

Suddenly, a transmission female voice spoke:

"Hello, hello? Hi there, Mordecai. Tonight has been a pleasant experience has it not? And we learned so many things about one another, did we not? It was such a fun ride. But now the simulation has come to an end. And it is time to go home and be safe and happy. And remember, this was a moment that you were not alone. You just felt a feeling that several others feel everyday...

AND IT WAS LOVE."

The End.

"As you pray for the end to come, all you'll get is a merchant lie. And you wait for the hounds of well, you'll be in for a big surprise. Because the end will never come, but we're in for a few hard times. And we'll get knocked up down and done, but the truth is we're still alive." - Tom DeLonge, 2011
