A moment of disorientation, as though she were tumbling wildly through space. She was still surrounded by darkness—no, not darkness, nothingness—and her other senses also seemed to have failed her. No sensations came from her body; the pain in her chest was gone as if it had never been, and she couldn’t hear or feel her heartbeat or her breathing. For an immeasurable time she tumbled through the void. Or maybe she wasn’t tumbling; maybe it was just her brain—starved of sensations—feeding her false stimuli to fill the nothingness.
