Gravity

"I woke up from a dream, lost among the sheets and sweat. Nothing seemed right, the ceiling a stranger and my own skin burning as if it was invading my own brain. What do you do if your own body rejects itself? How can you live with a feeling that's pure pain to all of the most sensitive points of something that doesn't feel like it's yours. I don't understand, I never did really. And yet I suppose we can live with things that don't make any sense to us. Gravity, life, creation. Nothing is a certainty and we're all okay with it. Why is that? Why have we decided to take it upon ourselves to live in a lie? I say lie because nothing we know is a definite. That bothers me a bit. Just like not knowing why this body isn't mine bothers me."

His eyes turned up from the carpet, thumbs twiddling on the mug a little bit as his fingers extended around the cup felt stretched. He enjoyed the warm feeling that radiated into his hands. It felt comforting. Almost as comforting as the female voice that answered back to him.

"Though the possibilities can be infinite, you just have to take solace in the fact you know your life is a complete definite. I know it's not a simple thing to just accept without thought, and I don't expect you to. You have to think about it, and decide if you believe your existence is completely secure or if everything is a lie as you fear."

Her voice was rather soothing. He looked back down to the carpet, since the image of her would have been rather burned into his head now. Her violet eyes watched him, three quarters open with the smallest of smiles on her already small paled pink lips underneath a cute but straight cut nose and surrounded by a perfect complexion of her olive skin tone. Her shoulder-blade-length extremely-dark-brown hair and white V-cut backless dress did well to contrast against her skin and her figure, which was impressive to say the least. No, that would be rather hard to forget, so he didn't need to stare at her.

"That's the thing... the one definite that has to ground me down to life is a mystery to me."
