A bite of Fruit and A World of Pain, (Under the Veil PT. 1)

A family is around grieving their loss of their granddad as he passes away. The grandfather sees them grieving from what looks like a portal. But he is well aware that he has already pass. His body slowly floats down and his eyes stay glued to the portal until he can no longer see it. He settles on a puddle. And lays in the puddle still staring upwards but looking at nothing. Slowly it feels not that he is sinking, but the puddle is pulling him down. Pulled under water he is now being slowly pulled deeper and deeper into the water. But the water is strange as it isn’t blue, it isn’t clear. It’s dark as if you are watching the tide at midnight. A darker water that you cannot see out of. As he gets pulled deeper and deeper eventually he falls out of the water. And begins to free fall. As he is falling multiple beings that seem to be floating keep coming to his side. What is your name? Every being that he seems to pass asks him this question. At first he answered quickly and very resolute. My name is Albert Page. Another being asks What is your name? my name is Albert page he answers quickly. He keeps falling and more keep asking. What is your name? My name is Albert. What is your name? it’s Albert. He continues his decent and yet more keep asking the same question. What is your name? It’s Al he states. What is your name? It’s Al. His plummet continues and it seems to be never ending. Finally, he smacks against a surface. But strangely he’s not hurt, even after falling for so long. He gets up and is greeted by someone. He has trouble making out his face. Then the person asks him again. What is your name? My name is Ah ah…… The A sound keeps coming out but he can’t say anything. It feels as if it is on the tip of his tongue yet he cannot say it. Finally he gives up, I don’t know what my name is. The person hugs him and invites him in. It’s ok none of us have names either. He follows the person through a gate and he see’s a flurry of people in this area. He continues to follow and is in awe, of all the people gathered. All of them greet him as he walks through the town? Village? City? He wants to call it all of these things. But realizes he has no idea what any of them mean. So he ignores it and just continue to walk through. He stops for a moment and sees a man and a woman sitting together. Tears start coming to his eyes as he stares at them. The person turns and tells him that he should go greet them. The man slowly walks over and says hello to the two. They greet him back and he asks why are they sitting together away from everyone. They say that they feel more comfortable when it is just the two of them. He asks if they know each other and they both say no they can’t remember if they have ever met. The woman said she arrived one day and saw the man sitting alone. She felt drawn to him so she went and sat next to the man and they have been there ever since. She stares at him and puts her hand on his cheek and said “I don’t know why, but speaking with your has put me at ease as well. I hope you have been well”, she said with a soft smile. “Yes, I have been. Thank you.” The person then beckons him to follow. The man says goodbye and leaves to follow the person. The person then explains, that is just the type of world this is. A world of nothing. Nothing is known and there is no need of it. He explains to the man that he has passed from his world to this one. The knowledge of one world cannot be brought to another. Do you remember when falling, being’s asking you questions. Yes. Yet you cannot remember the question they asked nor your answer to it. Other’s have strong attachment to the world they come from and often retain some of the information. They are sent to another area. Here there is nothing and everything. There is no pleasure here, it is not needed because pain is not known. Starvation is impossible if no one knows hunger. Here all the plights of the world you knew is not known. But what of my name. What of me. Why do you need a name. Well for other’s to call to me. They can just walk up to you can they not. But how will they recognize me. I look the same as everyone else here. Must you look different. When being’s are different they are ostracized regardless of how small their differences are. Even in the world you came from those who were different was persecuted and treated in horrible manners. Even as your world grew to be more connected and equal, still those who were different are still thought of negatively are they not. Simply because of how one looks they are thought to act a certain way, think a certain way. They are never seen for them. Here you can be seen as yourself, because all that is left is you. Ok, Fine fine. But even then the structures I see, the beings running on four legs, I feel as if I know everything, but I cannot. If you have need, we have a gathering. They are named ADAM. Created to try and name those beings and structures that you see. You can join them if you see fit. The have decided to collectively call the animus and will begin to start naming individual members of the animus. Animus, yes, yes, that sounds quite ok. That may be correct. Well continue your journey. I have things to attend to, don’t be afraid to come to me, if you see me walking around. How will I know it’s you, we all look the same. As he put his hand on my shoulder. Indeed. That was all that was said. The being then walked away.

I continued my walk around. I stopped by ADAM, the group of beings attempting to name the animus. As they discussed, it seemed to be more confusion than anything. After all they don’t recognize anything here it would be hard to name and differentiate them that way. While they are clear different from us and different from each other. We have no idea why. One animal walked up to me tongue out, tail wagging. I kneeled down and petted it. The animus then jumped on its back and exposed it’s mid section, which I then rubbed it’s belly. “Dog” I said. Can we name this one a dog. They were impressed by me. “We did not expect a new member to come and bestow such a great name on this being.” “This being and those who are similar to this being will now be a dog.” Once again I felt a hand on my shoulder and it’s a being. The same being I met when I first came I believe. “Great job, they have been struggling with that for a while now.” “On your first day, you have contributed greatly.” Is there anything else you could think of a name for.” “For some reason I felt like I should not say anything more.” “No, I guess I just got lucky with this one.” “Hmm, it would seem so.” The being then walked away from me again. What a weird encounter that was. I decided to distance myself from ADAM and walked away. Dog followed me, made me feel a great relief? But that doesn’t seem like the word. There was something else near me. A being moving around on it’s stomach. It spoke to me. “Hey, your new here right. You must have been really attached to your world.” “What makes you say that?” I asked. “Well that thing next to you, the dog that you named. That is the exact name that it has in your world.” When he said that it’s as if my mind cleared a bit. “NO wonder it just felt right. Maybe this dog in my world had a sort of relationship with me. Same with that couple that was sitting on the bench.” This world I’m in is so hard to get used to, if feels like I know so much yet, everything disappears as soon as I’m about to vocalize it.” The serpent then asked me if I wanted some help. “Help with what” I asked. To remember some of what you loss. I know your not supposed to, but I can’t bear to see someone so lost like you. The being then led me to an area that had an altar. There was a round object on there. I was confused. The being then crawled up and rested on my shoulder. It whispered to me to eat the object. “Why”, I asked. The being explained, “This world is connected to yours in a way, which is why you ended up here. It’s impossible to stop all knowledge from another world from entering this one. So instead that being, the first you encountered when you got here. Stored it all in this object.” This object here, I picked it up. It had a nice smell to it I thought. “Too bad there’s only one I can’t be the only one feeling this way.” “There is more than one, but that being leaves this one here as a sign of trust between it and the others.”

So what do I do I asked. It’s simple you pick it up and take a bit of it. “A simple bite” “yes, All it takes is one and your mind will be clear.” I believed the being I don’t know why and took a bit of this object.” As I chewed I realized, hmm this fruit is really good.” “This what the snake asked.” “Fruit, it’s probably one of the best I have ever had in my life.” “You didn’t know what the name of this was just a moment ago, now your saying it without a second thought.” I realized the snake was right and as I looked around I noticed that I recognized everything now. I realized that snakes can’t talk in the world that I’m from. “Well this is a different world”, the snake explained. “Now what”, I asked. “I don’t know”, the snake answered. But it’s best if you don’t let that first being know that you eat the fruit. Could spell a bad end for you.” Is that being the God of this world” I asked the snake. “Yes, but he’s more than just the god of this world. Hopefully you never find out.” The snake slithered away after saying that. I still don’t understand what he meant. I began walking back to the village. I’ll go to the ADAM organization and help name the animals. Well animus here. We can name them the same as animals from my world, it’ll help everyone move on. Though there are some I don’t recognized, extinct animals maybe. As I walked back to where the gathering was. I saw the people still standing there. But something was strange, they weren’t talking and instead looking at me. Then I saw the original man in the middle that I spoke to when I first arrived.
