void

There is a void in my room.

Not like something's missing, no. There is literally a void in my room. A deep, vast, nothingness instead of a wall. It's been there for a few weeks now.

It is located on the left wall, right by my bed. It seems to be sort of stuck there by some even more unknown force. I hung my posters on it.

Somehow, the things I stick on the void have weight. I can lean against them like a normal wall. Right now, I'm leaning against a stack of pillows that in turn are leaning against posters of the Beatles and Captain America, that are somehow attached to the void. I stuck them up there with Scotch tape a while ago but I don't think that's what's holding them in their place. 

It makes this noise sometimes, like it's trying to talk to me. Sometimes I can tell what it means. Either I've gotten better at understanding it, or it's gotten better at English. I don't know. It can't quite hold a conversation but it's almost got short sentences down. I think it can read, too, but I don't know. I don't know how it senses anything. It is literally nothing. 

Lately I've been writing about it to sort of procrastinate my schoolwork. It seems fine with this, because it seems to like the attention I have to give it in order to write about it. It seems to need a lot of attention, actually. Like, I don't have to feed it or anything (I think), but it gets mad if I try to ignore it. In other words, it'll scream in my ear until I tell it off. It's not pleasant. Sometimes I'll scream back, any noise I make absorbed into its enormous nothing. It feels good.

I'll come home sometimes and forget it's there. When I walk in, it kind of hits me that I am sharing a living space with a literal void. I'll come in and it'll be watching Jessica Jones or something on Netflix. I should set up some parental controls. I don't know what it's capable of, but I know for a fact that there are things I don't think I want it to try. Some things are just bad influences on nothings, you know. 

It started screaming again. I think I hear the neighbors outside. Sounds like they've lost their cat.
