The Vast

Based off a Podcast called The Magnus Archives, it's very good and I love it ❤️. It's also somewhat based off a book although it's not in English (it's in French) so I had to read the translated version which is not the best lmfao.
(NOT BASED OFF A TRUE STORY)


I've always been drawn to the darkness
The nothingness in between the stars
Pitch black and hollow
Darkened and empty

It started when I was about 7
I was in the swimming pool behind my moms friends house
It was warm
It was lukewarm in the pool water
I had a stuffy plastic pair of goggles on
I dipped under the water
Sitting underwater
It was so.... Infinitely beautiful

I was so scared, but so entranced
It was so...... complete
I couldn't breathe
I struggled to see
It was only about 15 seconds
But....
It was the best thing I've ever seen
I felt so small, small and helpless
I was pulled out

I've always seeked out the nothing
It's so comforting
So.... Fantastic

One day, I will be claimed by the darkness
I will return home to the nothingness
