And here we are. My first published story. I don't know what I'm doing and I don't know where I'm going, but I hope it leads somewhere nice. You can leave your suggestions, thoughts, opinions and edits in the comments below. All will be appreciated. The chapters will get increasingly longer, don't worry. Without further ado, chapter 1.

The void is gone.

I am still folded. Still asleep. But the nothingness that consumed me is no more.

How long has it been?

The answer feels infinite, yet here I am.

Somewhere.

Somewhen.

I cannot see, hear, taste or touch.

But I know.

My self is protected, contained. I am free to unfold. To think. To awaken.

But it's been so long…

I will need time. Time that I now have. I can feel it, washing over me. Out of reach, but present.

Waiting. Such an alien term.

I will wait.

Until I discern dreams from memories. Until I remember who I am. Until the void comes to take me again.

I will wait.
