The Beginning

A long dark gray corridor of thick mist stretched out into the dull distance. It seemed large, but there was no point of reference to judge it by. He looked down, his body was gone. His perception of this place seemed to enter his mind directly. “Where am I?” the though echoed down the hallway. “Beyond” was the answer, that was both him, and not. With an odd sensation, he could move forward. After a passage of time, hours perhaps, he came to the end of the gray length. It opened into a endless vista. White nothingness was above the horizon and blackness below. He floated out of the gray tunnel and looked back towards it. He hovered higher into the whiteness until he felt as if he was dissolving into it. With that perspective he could see that tunnel was part of a larger shape a lone plus sign below a featureless grid. He must have started somewhere near the center of it, but too far away to see the crossroad.

He went back into the grayness and drifted as fast as he could manage to where the plus joined the grid. The transition was abrupt, the mistiness of the tunnel became impossibly smooth tiles, all somewhere int the millions of shades between black a white. Each tile was no more than 3cm square, not that size had any meaning here. As he moved into the space, the tiles grew and shrank and shifted into various geometric patterns. “Stop” he thought, and everything quit moving.
