just nothing

Mia was in darkness, or it wasn't dark it was just...

Not.

Mia wasn't even Mia, she was just an idea of Mia or an idea of something called Mia, or an idea of something.

Not Mia didn't see the entity appearing in the nothing, nor did she see it move in the nothing, she didn't hear it move or feel it or smell it,

"She" wasn't even "there".

But it was.

She didn't hear it speak those words,

or see it leave,

or perceive anything about what had happened.

But she did see what it made,

and she opened her eyes for the first time.
