Darkness (1)

Darkness.

According to physics, it was a state where no object reflected or created light. A place of theoretical zero energy, with how in this absolute darkness I could see no proof of any matter existing. 

The darkness I found myself in seemed to have no end, no substance, no energy, and nothing else. 

Just like physicists of earth said, darkness wasn't a thing in itself, but a lack of light. 

'But if such is the case, why can I feel resonating with this darkness?'

This thought suddenly shook me awake. 

After a moment, or what seemed like a moment, of letting the darkness comfort and lull me into a relaxed state, I finally regained the drive, the one thing that pushed people forward even when all their basic needs were fulfilled. 

The drive to understand what's going on. The drive to return to Fay's inviting embrace. The drive to… do stuff. 

But how I was supposed to do anything when I was surrounded by nothing?
