Four years ago the clocks started turning back. I open my eyes and see nothing. I feel nothing below or above me. I feel the absence of things. The absence of my flesh, my bones, my body, my mind. All that is left is awareness. I see nothing but the absence of colour. It’s not a black darkness. It’s simply nothing. The interior of a black hole. I recall news of a black hole lingering along the edges of our solar system. All that time ago. Four years ago. When the clocks started turning back. I hear nothing. Until there is a something. A small thing. A voice. I listen. There are more voices. The sounds are human. How long has it been since I’ve heard a human? The sounds scratch along my now present attention. They carve into my hearing. They are horrid, wretched things. Voices screaming. Growing loud and desperate. How many voices? Billions. This is the birth of our species. We are born screaming. It’s all we know to do. We have screamed for eternity. Within this empty space. F.K. Preston
About This Quote

This quote is a warning to those who own a pet. If you leave your pet alone for a long period of time, then you could find that your pet has gone missing or that it has been stolen. You could also find that your pet has died and is rotting away in a landfill somewhere. The idea of the clocks turning back is because the days tend to run longer during the summer months and shorter during the winter months.

However, this quote also refers to life after death. If you die, then this could be the place where you were last seen alive and this could be where you will end up if you don't get any help from friends and family to move forward into the afterlife instead of rot like an old corpse in a landfill.
