>>937543538someone tried to kill me. long story.
fade to black, lights out. the brain isn't equipped to process the damage. why would it ever need to? you're not going to survive this so why would it ever try? when you do survive, the brain literally breaks trying to wrap itself around the reality of what happened. your life flashes in front of your eyes because it's going through like a rolodex, trying to find a previous experience it can use to save itself. but there isn't one because it's living the worst exprerience of it's life.
somethings in the room when you go. you float up, and look down to see whats happening. time stops, or stops mattering. who cares? you used it to define your reality but it was a lie. time doesn't work the way we think it does, because we made it up. outside of Earth, past present and future don't matter. at the speed of light, its all happening at once. you can see ALL of time. everything you ever were, ever are, or ever will be. this is where your story ends. there is no more after this, you end here. everything you'd hope to achieve, all the pretty little goals you had "someday", none of it matters. you only survive until the last person forgets you, and then you too will fade. and it doesn't matter. nothing does anymore.
and while you're thinking all this, your brain is showing you flashing lights, colors, sounds. every sound at the same time, every light, even the ones humans can't see, the UV spectrum beyond our ability. every color. and that's how your brain will record it, and categorize it. the closest concept we have is "ego death". yeah. literally the death of your ego, your "self". but something else is in the room with you, waiting to guide you somewhere. it wasn't good or bad though, just....other. nothing like we've ever seen before. some immortal force that knows where we're supposed to go after that. it was big and black. like a shadow that corrupted the entire room.
