Can't see you. I'm blind. My eyes are dark and there is nothing around me -- not like night time, because there are no stars ... there is absolutely nothing. This is a void. This is emptiness incarnate.

I am frightened. I look around and I can see nothing. I do not know where I am going and I do not know if there is even anywhere that I can go. So I walk blindly, in faith. Perhaps if I believe that there are no edges I will not fall.

Where are you? Have you found a way to see? Have you got out of this place? I am still trying to make out your familiar outline in the darkness but it is all shadows, and you are just another, blended in. Why are you not calling out to me?

And yet I have not called to you. Perhaps it is for the same reason. I am scared that if I call you, something else will hear. I am scared that if I call you, something else will come.

Author guidance for This story

This girl, Kitty, is lost. It's like a void. Nothing has any friction. She can't see a thing, and she's separated from Colum, her friend and sort-of boyfriend.

How does she get out of this emptiness? Or is she even alive?

My own note would be that I'm writing my chapters in an odd style: Kitty, my character, is talking to Colum, in second person ('you'). You don't have to follow that! But make sure you put in the chapter title who's talking.

Characters - please feel free to introduce others, but let me know if you do.

Kitty - (Delorfinde.)
Colum -
