Falling

“So how long have you been falling?”

“TIME IS MEANINGLESS IN THE ETERNAL VOID! WHEEEEE!”

“So a while then?”

“VOID ABOVE, VOID BELOW, WE ARE ENDLESSLY TRAVELLING INTO EXISTENCE THAT CANNOT EXIST! HOOOOOOWWWWAAAAAAA!”

“Only I think I lost a shoe back there? Is it possible it will come past?”

“THERE IS NO PAST. THERE IS ONLY THE VOID. AHAHAHAAA”

“No… I mean… Can I fall faster? Or slow myself down?”

“MOVEMENT CAN ONLY OCCUR IN RELATIVE SPACE, THE VOID HAS NO BACK OR FORTH NO UP OR DOWN AND NO TIME PASSES. WHOOPOOOOO!!!”

“That’s a no to the shoe thing, then? May as well take off the other one in that case.”

“SHOES ARE IMMATERIAL. CLOTHES ARE IMMATERIAL. THE VOID OBVIATES MODESTY, DESIRE, VANITY. I JUST HAPPEN TO LIKE MINE. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

“If I can’t speed up or slow down, does this mean I’m stuck here? With you? Do we all have companions through this… whatever this is?”

“COMPANIONSHI-”

“Yeah, yeah, the Void negates company. Only you’re a bit of a bore, if I’m honest, and I say this as a man in a knitted tank-top.”

“WE WILL FALL TOGETHER UNTIL THE VOID ITSELF ENDS, BEYOND EVEN TIME’S COLLAPSE INTO NOTHING. WHOO.”

“Oh God, what did I do to deserve this?”

“NO GODS. THE VOID IS WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. DESERVING OR UNDESERVING, THE VOID TAKES US ALL IN ITS NIHILISTIC EMBRACE. I’M GOING TO DO A BACKFLIP!”

“VERY GOOD.”

“YOU MAY AS WELL ENJOY IT!”

“I SEE THAT! WHEEEEEEEEE!”
