Between the worlds

As I regained consciousness I discovered that I can't feel my body.

"Did my spine got severed and I became numb? I can't feel myself at all. Am I dead? Well I am thinking so I'm alive. Ok, be racional! Last thing you have done is hitting concrete road in high speed. You are surely in hospital and under sedatives and that is the reason for your numbness. So just calm down and try to get some information of where you are and what exactly happened. Lets try it slowly step by step."

I try feel my body once again, get some sense of touch or catch some scent. Nothing. I'm getting slightly worried. Hearing doesn't work either. I'm on edge of panic.

"Ok, last thing you can do is to try to open your eyes", I said to myself.

I tried to do so, but something was off. I can feel that something is responding to my actions but it definitely doesn't feel like opening eyes.

It's indescribable feeling. Only thing which gets closer to it is when you walk out of your dark room after all night gaming into midday sun without closing your eyes.

Once I regained my sight I wanted to gasp from shock but apparently I can't.

I'm floating in the middle of something what seems similar to open space but with different objects in it. Exactly three types, no, four types of objects.

The first ones are some strange green shining orbs looking a bit like clouds. From time to time you have feeling like you see tormented face on their surfaces. They are moving in imaginary straight line which connects another two objects.

Former ones look like a circles filled with strange images. Some of them show pictures of landscape sometimes with creatures from wild dreams.

Some show only something describable as a misty walls but the biggest part of them have inside of them unidentifiable images.

For example one on my right side shows big blob made of parts of organs and limbs of animals surrounded by orbiting stars. It feels like painting made by surrealist.

When I looked at them I discovered that it doesn't matter which way I look at them, they always show the same image no matter the angle.

These circles are arranged in spheres around the biggest type of objects you can see around.

It is gigantic green rotating vortex which sucks in all the green orbs which leave those strange circles. Also its surface is filled with heads of creatures which seems to by trying to get out. I bet that if my hearing was working I could have heard screams of pain and suffering.

As I'm observing my surroundings I find out that I'm also slowly moving toward the closest vortex.

Now I see that my body is also in form of green shining orb.

"That's not good. I have to get far away from there as soon as possible. Judging from all those face I can say that being inside of that green thing is no fun."

"But how?" I try to swim in space but to no avail. "Ok, let's try running." Nothing happened. The vortex is closer and closer.

"Virgadium leviosa. Doesn't work? Damm you Rowl... AAAAA"

The vortex is really close. "HEEEELP." I start to repeat the same word in my head hoping for miracle."Move! Move! Move!"

"It worked? IT WORKED!!" I try to celebrate but at that moment my body stops on spot and start to move back to that vortex.

"No!No!NO! MOVE!MOVE!"

This way I get myself in safe distance and during that I discover that you don't have to shout these words like madman. You just need to think that you are moving and you will be.

"Phew that was close! Now when I have gained ability to fly lets explore. I can finally look what the last object I saw is. But for that I need to get close to one of those circles."

So I start aproaching nearest one. This one belonged to ones which showed only misty wall.

As I get close I notify how these things are huge. I'm flying already over hour and it did not get significantly closer. I have already passed hundreds of those green orbs.

After some time I'm getting bored, but because there is only "me, myself and I" I cannot find any way of entertaining myself. I probably have all time in the world I can afford waste some by this flight.

Finally I get to it. It is huge. From my guess it could have over two hundred kilometres* in diameter. Strange is that surface is perfectly flat like a mirror.

I try to touch it bus it always repels me like if there was some sort of forcefield.

After few tries I give up. Turn around and fly to the thing for which I flew here.

It is floatin island. Yes you heard me right. Big island floating in space.

It is not big in comparison to the circle but it still has over 5 kilometres*. The reason that I noticed it is that on top of it is a big temple which reflex lots of light. From far away it looks like a firefly.

But once I get close enough I'm little bit hesitant.

I have several questions right now."Who is owner of this place, how did he made it and is he still alive?"

"Well if yes, I will just run away." And with these words I approach.

This chapter can be considered as an apology for the first chapter being so short. After I manage to get past the introduction, it will be much easier for me to write. My current speed can be considered about max 1 chapter a week due to lack of free time and time when so called "editor" can look at my work and correct the mistakes. I know that there is something missing in my novel, I feel it too. But did not find it yet. So I will appreciate tips for improvements. Thanks for reading.
