Shattered

Part Five: Ed

Chapter Three

Nothing

I don't know how long I was in the machine.

For an eternity, I suppose.

I saw nothing. Felt nothing. Was nothing.

I could move, or speak.

Even though I had freed Dojo, Bedlam got me. Bedlam still won.

I believed that.

And so I despaired.

Until they brought me out of it.

By that point I was honestly. . .nothing.

My world was shattered. . .my mind was obliterated. Pure chaos and completely destroyed.

I was aware that the machine was off.

Just as I was aware that it was Fizz who sat beside me until my sanity returned.

I just knew.

But for the longest time, I was trapped inside myself.
