Solstice
Chapter 16
And in the blink of an eye, I was
alone *snap* Just like that. Neither totally focused nor totally spread
across creation, but in a gray limbo of nowhere...
I floated,
disembodied, in a haze.
Distance seemed very very distorted as I drifted downwards, ever so
slowly,
in a gentle meandering spiral. I noticed huge boulders tumbling lazily
through the air around me, hanging almost weightlessly upon the breeze.
A moon sized
furry
ball rolled along
the air waves, followed by a horribly bespiked planet, it's sharp barbs
and twisted hooks reaching miles above it's surface, threatening to
snag
the little moon if it didn't watch out.
Another
bolder
floated past me...
I had the
distinct
impression that
I had become a speck of dust and nothing more. A simple speck
of
dust, with awareness.
Just
floating
along at the complete
mercy of the Fates. *sigh*
Powerless.
A tree trunk
drifted past me and Smashed
into a little boulder that was floating along rather
peacefully.
The little boulder, in turn, shot downwards at an alarming rate while
the
tree trunk continued to tumble happily along.
This was Not
Groovy. *laughs*
I pondered
the
power problem furiously.
The first,
and
most Obvious solution
was the Force *giggles*
A fuzzy
planetoid
rolled past.
I focused my
energies, concentrating...
the planetoid rolled closer...
And as it
rolled
past I Shoved and
Pushed and Kicked at it!! I summoned every bit of Force I could muster
and hurled it towards the grain of pollen.
Zilch.
It rolled
past, I
floated downwards,
boulders drifted by...
I pondered.
Up until
now,
Nothing had snapped
me back, nothing had woken me up... Now I was wondering if I even Could
wake up again, leave that world behind and return to this one, when the
air began to quiver.
I noticed
some of
the boulders near
me begin to spin and quiver, then Swoosh! A gigantic dark mass fell
past
in a flash, leaving a massive, churning, twisting, sucking Vortex in
its
wake.
And there I
was,
spinning around
and around inside a blender full of boulders and tree trunks, racing
towards
the ground at the speed of light...
