The silence and darkness of death is a scary thing, indeed. But it isn’t scary for long. Little glimmers sparkle and shine in the inky black of space, and soon, you’re watching stars, planets, galaxies be formed, live, and die, all around you. Such is the circle of life. It’s deafeningly quiet until suddenly, you hear a sweet laugh. It starts off like powdered sugar, light and barely there, but it grew closer and the complexity of it, like a perfected buttercream, could be heard. You didn’t know why you didn’t see her before, but suddenly, she was before you. Her dress was one with the universe around the two of you. At one time, you thought that space was nothing but an endless sea of black, but you couldn’t have been more incorrect. The universe was a wonderful blast of the most amazing colors, and you’re awed, but as you meet her eyes....all you feel is warmth...and the nostalgic feeling of returning home. “My pup...You’ve grown so much...You must be weary, please...come here. Come into the arms of your Mother.”
