Void
It is hard for the mind to grasp the concept of nothingness. A person thinks they understand, but soon realize that by thinking, there is still something. Pure nothingness is devoid of any singular thing, thought, sound or sensation. That was my first memory. “I am nothing.” That was when the paradox began. First, there were words. I didn’t even know what words were until they bombarded my brain discordantly. I had a brain. I had… a name. “I am Abignal.” I stated with finality. “What does that mean? What am I? Why do I exist? Father… Is that you?”
