Chapter 65:
The Rowan Tree
❦
The parrot doesn't return.
There's no one to tell me
what the whispering means.
Nothing happens.
I don't have anything with me.
I ran out without my phone.
I don't know how to reach Rowan.
I turn away
from the rowan tree
and
everything
goes black.
I breathe
but I can't hear myself breathing.
I look down
but I can't see myself moving.
This is freaky.
'I want to go back,'
I say.
Then, I hear
a familiar voice.
'O have been waiting for you.'
It's Nya-Nya.
Rowan's winged donkey.
'Where are you?!'
I'm shouting,
but I can't hear my own voice.
'You'll see me on the sixth day.'
Sixth day?
What the #*%&?
❦
I don't know
how much time passes
in this void
of nothingness.
It's neither cold or hot,
there's no sensation.
It's nothing.
LET THERE BE LIGHT.
Suddenly,
a blinding flash.
Through red eyelids,
I see the silhouette
of my arms
shielding my eyes.
Then I see...
Rocks.
Water.
Fire.
Everything's suspended
like some sci-fi movie.
Everything else
is black.
I feel ground beneath my feet,
but I don't have any feet.
Nothing more happens.
Water rushes in,
consuming the rocks,
spitting them out.
Consuming them.
Spitting them out.
The donkey's low voice:
'This is the first day.'
