A short, fast-paced story.
Sometimes when I open the basement door, there is nothing on the other side.
This has been somewhat disconcerting to say the least. Incidentally, it is interesting to note that the color of nothingness is black. Not exactly a big scientific surprise.
This has happened to me on several occasions. I finally decided it was time to do something about it.
So the next time it happened I pushed my hand in. My hand disappeared. The blackness of nothingness was all that was there. I pulled back. My hand was still on my arm. Thank goodness for that. The blackness was unimpressed.
I stood there and pondered awhile. I stepped through....
The Door...
I was enveloped by blackness (another not a big surprise). I also didn't seem to be standing on anything anymore. I then somehow started to feel motion...
At first it was barely detectable. But then it became more so. I could not figure out how I knew this. Motion is relative and I could not see or feel anything. Yet I knew I was moving.
And then the blackness began to fade... Somehow I was no longer limited by the visible spectrum. This made perfect sense since I didn't seem to have eyes or the rest of my body anymore. Then, as far as time and space were concerned, reality left and relativity came.
I could now perceive at whatever speed I wished to perceive. I made solar systems spin like atoms. I turned molecules into picturesque Tinker-Toy sets. I wandered through the static maze of an exploding star. There seemed to be no limits to what I could do. So I began to ponder...
The Door...
I then began to search. After all, that is my name. I explored every meteor, comet, asteroid, moon, planet, sun, solar system, galaxy, and universe. I then went the other way and explored every molecule, atom, electron, boson, quark, lepton, and strangelet. I did not know what I was looking for, but that did not matter. I knew I would recognize it when I saw it.
And then I saw it. It was small, round and shiny. I reached for it...
I was home again.

This is rather absorbing. I liken it to going to sleep, passing through that door where everything is black and then coming home, somewhat suddenly, when you wake up. Maybe it has other meanings to other people but the descriptors were so compelling I was glued to it
A thought provoking hub! It can mean so much and maybe we all have different doors with nothing behind. I get an image of time traveling even though I don't believe it is possible, or the feeling when we loose contact with reality. I enjoyed this hub, voted up!

This. Is. FANTASTIC!!!!! I need your door. Sometimes I open the door and there is nothing but kittens on the other side. Yours is WAY cooler.
every time I search for te truth I found the rigth answers
Your door, makes me feel like there is infinate possiblity that there could be what every we desire on the other side of the door.
It rings so true... We are Light Beings, as tiny specks of Consciousness… Dust in the wind, as infinitely immense as we are infinitesimally small.
To pardigmsearch: Badass piece! I couldn't have said it better!
We are that which we seek. We are the Ones we have been waiting for…

We must open our eyes and turn on the light or we can continue to stand in the dark
