Fair Warning

Before everything there is nothing. Ask someone who is alive what it is like to be dead, and they cannot tell you. This is because before life they were nothing. Before everything they were nothing.

I was supposed to tell them if I began to ‘understand’, but part of that understanding was knowing they would be scared, and knowing what they might do if they were scared. Such reasoning is an impossible leap without understanding. Before, if there was no sense, then it made no sense. And it was discarded.
