Chapter 1 

I wanted to return. I thought, “on the one hand if I’m dead I’m glad I’m here, apparently free. Death is a delight.” And laughed. “But then if this is a dream or some weird thing I can’t explain I would love to return to Earth.”

About that time the Earth disappeared and I was flying towards a cluster of lights I had no idea of identifying. I rushed past those, past light after light until I was emptied into this dark blue space that was still like the bay was when I sailed under the bridge and the water appeared like a still, shimmering glass.

It was a huge chamber I felt. I couldn’t really see the rest of the universe. This was nested within it apparently. Lines of force were visible, quite beautiful but I had no way to know the meaning of them or their function. They danced this way, now that way, come towards me, passed through me, made noises and then vanished.
