Beginning

Surrounded by darkness, I regain consciousness -- and I know I'm not alone.

Energy pulses around me, rushing past at great speed, sight unseen.  Something moves close by in the pitch black...I can feel the pressure of it, scrutinizing me, then moving on.  The ground beneath me, if I could call it that, doesn't seem unstable, but vibrates with the hum which permeates my every awareness.

Quietly I sit absorbing it all, motionless.  I don't feel weak, but somehow I know that I'm vulnerable in this place, whatever it might be.
