Then death was there. More than anything else it felt as though I was on a beach at night, a vast black tidal wave blasting toward me, unseen and unheard, but felt in every single fiber of my being. It seemed to make the whole universe groan as it towered overhead, so powerful it could shake the stars from the sky. It fell, slamming down, pulling me into its churning heart. A moment of terror, followed by an eternity of peace.
