ENGH 377 Mimetic Response 5

You look ahead and see only nothingness. Blackness. Emptiness. [[Take a step forward.->Darkness]] [[Remain in place.->Void]]

You take a step forward. The ground is surprisingly solid under you, so you take another few experimental steps forward. You do not fall. [[Continue onwards.->Darkening]] [[Stay where you are. ->Void]]

Albeit invisible, the space below you serves as a ground for you to walk upon. Within the nothingness, you think you see a speck of //something// to the slight left of you. [[Continue onwards.->Void 2]] [[Follow your thoughts.->Darkening 2]] [[Remain in place.->Void]]

You continue walking forward. Darkness follows you, surrounds you, keeps you company. [[Continue walking forward.->Void 2.5]] [[Continue onwards.->Void 2.5]]

You turn in the direction of whatever you think you saw and take a couple of steps forward. Suddenly, the ground gives in and you begin to fall! [[Look up.->Void]] [[Brace for a landing.->Darkening 3]]

You keep walking and walking and walking and walking and walking. But there is darkness. Darkness. Only darkness. Darkness surrounds you, hugs you, chokes you, suffocates you. [[Give in.->Void]]

The landing is surprisingly soft. If you squint, you can see your shadow darkening the floor. Things feel... lighter. [[Look around for more "specks".->Lightening 1]] [[Take a step forward.->Darkening 4]]

You scan the space around you to look for something, anything in sight. In the corner of your eye, you see something faintly glowing. It's the darkest of greys, just barely standing out against the blackness, but it's something. [[Continue forward, towards the "light".->Lightening 2]] [[Remain in place.->Void]]

You continue onwards. You begin to feel fainter and fainter, a drawling dizziness overtaking your body. [[Look up.->Void]]
