Starman
PLIN!
PLIN!
PLON!
The universe sings.
Its sweet melody echoed throughout the universe, I suppose, reaching even to the vast and distant stars.
PLIN!
PLIN!
PLON!
PLIN!
PLON!
sang the universe again.
It was unfortunate, that this song reached only me and the extensive darkness that surrounded me, though only I was alive enough to absorb it into my mind.
"You look lonely...I can fix this."
Echoed a female voice, in a tone so sweet, I think even the stars were enchanted, but not as sweet as the melody the universe sang, my universe was unique.
But one should have known that the stars were not so easily charmed, no, no.
What would a woman look like who could produce such a beautiful voice?
It would be nice to have eyes and a mouth so that at last my curiosity would heal and with my eyes, admire.
"I can solve your problems, so little one, think with your soul and your answers will come"
The beautiful and sweet voice calmly spoke to me, with almost palpable love in every word. That is if I could still identify love in words
PLIN!
PLIN!
PLON!
but how can one think of a question without voicing it?
I don't think I can do that, after all, it's been so long since a word has been dared to appear around here.
"You've already done it little one, your past and future actions I already know, so just focus on my voice and be honest with your thoughts.
Again, the sweet voice accompanied itself along with its explanation to me, but the stars delighted in the little voice they heard, traitors.
all of them.
PLIN!
PLIN!
PLON!
PLIN!
PLON!
"Although funny is your revolt with the stars, I must insist that you question me, time is something we don't have."
Although beautiful, the voice was quite insistent and impertinent, interrupting the beautiful serenade of the universe was outrageous..but it was forgivable.
It had been a long time since I had talked to someone, I wonder if this is what the voice meant when it spoke that it could fix my loneliness.
"Little one, I speak of a second chance, a new life, though I do not dislike spending eternity keeping you company if you so desire."
Tempting, very tempting.
Having someone to talk to in this eternity would be nice, but that would get in the way of the song of the universe, and I wouldn't make another join me in this immense solitude accompanied by the stars.
So the most attractive thing was a new life, a new life.
But that would not serve me.
I was too weak for a second chance, the weakest of the talking primates.
"Oh no, don't despise yourself little one, it breaks my heart. If strength is a problem for you, I can grant it, even conquering the stars will not be impossible with the power I will give you, though you will have to choose one among several."
...
That was kind of her, it had been an unknown time since anyone had been touched by me, if I had eyes I would even cry.
It was a pity that she had misunderstood me, when I spoke of strength, I didn't think of the strength that conquers the stars, but of the strength that reaches the stars.
I needed that.
I have to be better.
"That would be manageable, but if I grant the power to reach the stars, you would not have the strength to master them, the most I can do is grant the determination and a little strength and send you to a world where that strength will be able to keep you alive, what do you think little one?"
It was more than adequate, I never needed individual strength, and I would manage for the rest as long as I could move on without fail.
The stars seemed to approve of what the voice said, and even if they were empty promises, what did I have to lose?
"I am happy for your conviction, I would like to give many warnings but time is short, so I am only able to wish good luck and ....this time, just live fully, serve a purpose greater than yourself, and be great."
After these words I was sure of something, this voice was the kindest thing I have ever met in my life, I should say goodbye to it.
But first I had to say goodbye to the stars, the universe knew how to mean they were.

White with black dots was all that was in my vision, or what I thought was my vision, and it had been 30,000 seconds and nothing had changed.
Was this another life? Had I been taken for a ride?
No, it wasn't a trick, there was no way a sweet voice could be the same as the devil's trickery, I must not have looked hard enough.
With renewed focus I began to stare into the white void with black dots, maybe it was some kind of geometric figure or some kind of painting, there must be something there.
And I kept staring.
And I kept staring even after five minutes.
Maybe there was nothing there and I was just looking for water in the desert, something meaningless.
Until I noticed something peculiar...there was a pattern in the black dots and things started to connect.
It wasn't geometric figures or paintings.
It was letters.
Just letters on a white background, letters that I could read.

I have seen the most indescribable things, but this was in a league of its own besides being a lot of information to process, two pieces of information caught my eye.
The first information was simply 'individuality' no matter what, nanomachines were something that reminded me a lot of something that appeared a lot in a game in my past life, but it still wasn't my biggest concern at the moment.
The second and most important piece of information is if I was disabled, according to the information.
Did this mean that I was crippled?
