Destiny

[jammi]

My vision darkened again as I saw the detective running over. The entire... mind-share must have only taken a few seconds. There was blankness as I wallowed in the black depths of my mind, the unconscious psyche sending random collections of images and thoughts to my battered mind.

I lay looking up at the world from the bottom on an ocean, black thoughts pressing down on me. Far above I could see light filtering down through the waves, dispersing and dying before the rays reached me.

The terrible pressure bored down on me, seeming to crush me, almost making my head implode. I tried to scream, seeing only a desperate stream of bubbles race upwards from my silent mouth. Then I was rising, floating upwards, the light intensifying.

Suddenly I broke through the waves, a savage storm lashing at me, whips of rain tearing at my skin. I sprawled, hanging in the air, rising gently upwards, buffeted by the raging maelstrom that screamed around me.

Then I broke out of the clouds and continued rising, out of the Dark Planets atmosphere, rising upwards into the heavens. I rolled around the sun, its warmth dispelling the absolute zero temperatures of the void. I breathed in, air flowing from nowhere and everywhere around me as I drifted ever closer to the sun.

Then the whispers started again, muttering and cackling, worshipping the Dark Man, the heart of darkness that resided at the fiery heart of hell. I began to scream as the voices grew in pitch and fever once more, for it was coming.

The sun boiled as madness overtook it, tendrils of flame leaping outwards, twisting and twirling through space. A black spec emerged from the inferno and drifted forward, the sun expanding exponentially, changing colour from a warm yellow to a blood red as it grew. Finally I saw him the dark man who I had dreamed about as the heat blasted at my flesh.

He raised his arm once more, the same words falling from its unholy mouth. My traitor son I have come for you!

Then the sun exploded, the red Giant going supernova, burning me in a cascade of nuclear fire.
