[k] @ I felt the light of creation wrapping me in a tight embrace, just as powerless to do anything as the people absorbed in their worthless prayers. [k] @ As long as the god of this world doesn't consider you defective, at least there's no pain. You don't feel it. [k] @ The light just keeps getting brighter, blinding you and even numbing you to the passage of time. [k] @ The next thing you know, you're right back where you started, only everything around you's been changed... [k] @ I don't know what the locals make of that experience... [k] @ ...but it was awful enough to almost make me vomit. [k] @ I'd rather stick my head inside a festering dead body, or kiss a pile of excrement from a prison cell without plumbing. [k] @ Those options might be revolting, but least I wouldn't have to be so frightened. [k] @ So while I hate to admit it, when that light finally subsided, and I found myself standing there... [k] @ ...I would be relieved that[sr]I had avoided being taken away. [k] @ But it was never long after that my relief turned to worry, to the point that I could barely think straight. Maybe I just got lucky this time. What about the next time? Or the time after that? [k] @ So in retrospect, it was inevitable that I would take action like this sooner or later. [k] @ This time, I managed to avoid the light by escaping to the Reverse Side of the World, so I thought I might feel differently now...but surprisingly, nothing changed. [k] @ Upon laying eyes on the new world of this cycle, I felt the same things as always: loathing, and discomfort. [k] @ To use more contemporary slang...I just can't even with this world.
