A wave of nausea hit hi his book down on the bedside table, hethe book to tuet it to doith some kind of illness and needed the rest
Arthur tried to sleep, hoping that a good night's sleep would help hi the nausea was a sharp stabbing pain in his head It was painful, but not painful enough that he'd fight his nausea and lethargy to get out of bed and find pain h pain to keep hietting sweaty, uncos that contributed even further to the fact he was never going to fall asleep naturally Until his body finally lost consciousness
Arthur suddenly found hi around in an endless black void
There was no uncoy, no pain, no nausea It was like everything that was irritating hi else
Arthur was floating in the void for what felt like hours, unable to move around of his own free will, or evenHe felt helpless, trapped in his own body, unable to wake up and escape from the lonely void he found himself in
But as he felt the frustration rise until he als started to appear around hied from loose ite after they first appeared that they vanished oncearound helplessly, but at least he had so to look at now Various scenes came and went as he floated within the void His body phased through anything it carah this one didn't vanish after a few seconds passed

As he looked around, he noticed that it all felt familiar He was dropped into the kitchen of his house, but it was much different to the kitchen in the current ti around, a e variety of spices, most of which you'd rarely ever use
It was almost like he was dropped a few years into the future, where Anna decided to attend a cooking class in her free ti it up with several useless gadgets she never used
His body hovered towards the fridge, where he saw his sister rus" Shecarton out of the fridge She pulled out the last reo shopping"
