My hand pressed print all; as the printer made a whirring sound. It was more turbulent than it typically was for some reason, a bright red error sign popped on the glass printer screen. A large square piece of paper with a black hole in the middle of it came out. It probably took up a lot of black ink for it to be so black. Though I had waited for a while my speech still hadn't printed. I shook the square piece of paper wondering if my speech was stuck to it. Pieces of blank printing paper fell out of the black hole. Did the printer run out of ink to print the speech so blank pieces of paper came out? Confused I put my head inside the hole. Only to see my speech was with millions of other papers: in a dark black void. This dimension I had discovered seemed to be almost filled to the brim with paper. I reached out my hand to grab my speech though it seems I wasn't careful enough as I fell in headfirst.

Papers crumpled under my weight, as I turned my body so that my back was facing the bottom instead of my head. My speech was in my hand though that wouldn't help me now. I could hear the crisp crunches of the paper, as went deeper into the expanding hole. Eventually, I got to the end; there was a faraway light coming from the hole. There was all this paper here that could've been used for something. There was probably a me-shaped hole; in the middle of this endless expanse of paper. Though right now it was probably about time to try and get out.

I folded my speech and put it in my pocket. I zipped it up to secure it inside. I put the paper under me slowly and carefully grabbed from the sides of the hole. Then I stood on them. Though it seems I wasn't being careful enough again, and the top half of a side half started to fall. 'Well that isn't good,' I thought. I schooled to the side hoping to avoid the now falling papers.

The paper fell in front of me some of my body being buried in paper. It felt a bit too heavy to just be paper but it was. The last few pieces of paper gracefully floated down on top of the pile. It seemed it was going to take a while to get out of here. That was until my whole world turned upside down literally. My body started plummeting mercilessly towards the black hole. I landed right on top of the hole though I didn't go through my body wasn't small enough to fall through. I moved my body over to slide through the hole to get out. I needed to do this quickly before the paper finished floating down and buried me alive. When I came out a girl holding the black-hole upside down greeted me with a stare. She seemed to not know what to do or say about a person coming out of a piece of paper she held upside down. So I swiftly took the square piece of paper without a word and ripped it in half. Staring her right in the eye. I was done with that piece of paper. Then I walked away with my speech in my pocket. The end
