chapter one: white
White.
Everywhere.
No other colors.
Just white, simply white.
It goes on forever.
She knows that. She has always known that.
They always knew that. Together.
Now she is alone, in this everlasting plane of white in which nothing really exists.
She is alone, just like she has been for a long time.
How long has it been?
She can't remember.
She walks.

And walks.
And walks.
And walks.
This expanse is truly expansive. Its white, barren, flat ground seems to go on forever. She can see walls in the distance, but they move when she does.
It almost reminds her of . . .
. . . "Home."
But her home is gone, along with everyone she knew.
Her square-walled home with those weird upright creatures? The warm, soft nest? The barking of the dog in the next home outside?
All gone.
Gone.

She keeps walking.

Belle.
Belle Belle Belle Belle . . .
It echoes around her head like an echoing chant. It is the only thing she has left; it is the only thing she remembers clearly. Sure, she remembers faces, voices, names.
But those are all blurred and distant.
Those things are leaving her, too.
The ground shakes, and she pauses. She looks around, but nothing is there to see.
Just white, as usual.
Only white.
Then the ground shakes again.
She runs. She knows what happens when the world shakes twice.
Something is about to break.
A/N: A pretty short, vague story, if I do say so myself. But I find something captivating about this kind of writing — although I'm pretty sure I'm trying and failing at depth and ambiguity. xp
