arrow Lieutenant Junior Grade Chloe Waters: What is Nothing?

[Jana Zicv]

((Somewhere... and Nowhere))

What is nothing?

Is there really such a thing? For there to be nothing, there had to have existed traces of something, from which that null could grow. But if it was nothing, how could it be recognized as such?

For Chloe, nothing was now... or maybe it wasn't. Unconsciousness gripped her. There was no body, very little feeling. And yet... there was awareness.

A painful awareness. Both literal and figurative.

To the helm officer, her awareness felt like it spread across the entire universe. And every part of her non-existent body was screaming with pain. Something was wrong, very very wrong. Why wouldn't it stop?

Then... relief. Oh sweet, sweet relief. A voice pierced the nothing-somethingness and reverberated everywhere, as the pain was slowly sucked away.

Feel better Lt. Feel better Lt. Feel better Lt.

And she did. She felt better. There was no pain. But still very little substance. She couldn't bring herself to worry though, for some reason. This was what it was.

Was this what death felt like?

Another sound began to reverberate. Whatever it was... it was an alarm. Something was wrong. She knew that sound.

Alert. Red alert. That's what that sound was. What was wrong?
