“Incandescent ice streaked against inky night. A comet. Cosmic snowballs spreading millennium old celestial dust. Miles above me? A cataclysm: unleashing blood-red lightning and bruising the sky. A deep thunder—not of this Earth—shattered the silence. Interstellar key clicked."

"The Gate. It opened!” I shriek—then and now.

“Sedate her!” Rough hands grip me. For my injection. Diagnosis? Psychosis. They’re wrong.

I’m perfectly sane.

A sharp pinprick: delicious pharmacology closes my mind’s eye—truly blinding me. I plucked mine out ages ago.

Yet… still saw. And The Great Ones' eternal Cerulean gazes…

Never wavered.
