Together at The Edge of a Universe

✨Chapter 20 - in line before the show began

Black Hole P.O.V:

It's quiet.

I'm alone.

With my own thoughts.

It's dark.

I can't see.

My eyes are open.

But nothing.

Strange.

Nothing is here, its all dark. Like I'm standing in a room with all the lights off.

I can't move.

It's like I'm strapped down.

I'm standing.

I don't get it. Is this where we go when we die? Is this it?

No...

I don't think it is...

It can't be...right...?

No.

Probably.

I look around, still nothing. Just pitch black, the air is heavy. Like I'm in an ocean, under the water. I look up, a dark blue taking place of the black.

Maybe I am in an ocean.

Am I drowning?

I can't talk.

I can breathe.

I can usually breathe.

Huh.

My mouth feels dry, like I had been asleep for days. Strange...how can this place make me feel this way?

What is this place?

Where am I?

In my head?

Probably.

What else can I do here?

I lift my foot up and down, huh. That works. I plant it on the ground, pushing myself upwards.

I float through the darkness, towards the blue.

Strange...

I look up, the dark blue still there. But...closer...I guess. I am going towards it after all.

I don't even need to try, before I know it, I'm going up.

I look back down.

It looks as dark as ever.

What will happen when I go high enough?

Will I wake up?

Will I die?

Who knows...I guess I'll have to find out.

...

...

...

...

...

This is going to take a bit.

Tree P.O.V:

A few hours have passed.

Jr. went into their room, I think they wanted some alone time. Fair.

Might as well go and check up on Black Hole...I miss them, so does Jr. I hope he knows that. I hope he remembers it.

The room is warm when I walk in. They lay on my bed, their chest softly rising and falling. They look so peaceful...
