A tray heaped high with fresh never before experienced nothing.

It waves in the non-existent breeze. Its aroma wafts non-existently. It is all I’ve ever wanted and it is all I’ve ever had. How lucky can I be? To have all the nothing that I want? To have such high quality nothing. Nothing in a Tiffany box. Nothing in a Gus and Tony’s pizza box. Nothing wrapped and nothing not wrapped. Either way is good. Either way nothing is exactly what I want. It pleases me. I holds me in its lap and strokes me. It tells me stories… about nothing.

Beige. Light green. Willow-bud color. Pink to the shade of non-existence. Pink to gray. Gray to black. Night perfectly black. No stars. We are alone in the universe. The sun will never come back. The moon is done. This moment is carved in ebony. It will last forever.
