Continuum Lived in Him

There was someone moving from behind the stone wall - they did not show themselves.

Brogan jumped. His nerves had not been the same, ever since he had been murdered – he had trust issues and some residual anxiety.

Edging slowly away, he tried to figure out where he was exactly, and how he had got there - and, for that matter, where had Nervina got to?

Of course he knew he was fine and would always be so. He did realize how life goes on, with himself amongst it, wherever he was in the Cosmos. There were good days when he felt impenetrable, and the continuity of consciousness that death does bring. Continuum lived in him. And yet, a sudden shock or change bothered him terribly.

This place was uncannily different – he could see it from the first. All of the colors seemed brighter for one thing - whilst oddly, there was no smell. Funny thing, you can live with smells all around you and not really think about their presence, but their absence indicates a sterile environment, one that bears no life whatsoever.
