Stars abound coaxed mass and energy. All collapsed and rebound. Nebulas of myriad hues yet unseen by cellular organisms became and perished within a fraction of time. What he beheld in that journey through a connection with the boundless cosmos imposed a grandeur of respite and hope. All was as the sages of old had predicted. Time and space were realized as relative and insignificant in the face of the human soul and consciousness. He fell upon an endless vision of liquid spanning all shades beyond his comprehension. A less imposing, dark silhouette stood gazing at the bright canopy above. The reflection of the horizon made it impossible to distinguish water from heaven.<br/>
<br/>
“Dad?” A soft tone of innocence spoke onto the air. He jerked every aching muscle in his frame to face the familiar sound that had echoed throughout his ardent affection for many years. “Shaun?” His amply meek effort responded with bafflement yet engulfed with delight. “Where is Mom?” The enveloping, dark void of the bantam silhouette asked with confusion. “She is…”—his memory failed him miserably—“…I don’t know.” The swirling, dark smoke of the young figure approached the man with hesitant steps. “Where am I, Dad?” Benjamin beheld the apparition of his mind with great despair, ashamed and defeated, touching the shallow liquid with his knees. “Shaun, w-we…”—the pressure of sorrow hindered his words—“We are looking for you. Mom and I are doing everything we can to find you.” His vision began to fail his better judgement. The bright masses of energy above them faded. The liquid at their feet formed a stale hue of grey. “Dad, I’m scared. Why haven’t you found me yet?” The shadow of the boy asked. The man curled into his ever growing shame and failure as a man. Sinister figures began to emerge from the putrid liquid behind them. “Shaun, I… I’m s-so sorry.” He could barely muster the strength to speak. The dark apparitions of unknown entities, reaching akin giants, pulled the projection of his son away. “Dad!” The boy cried in pain. “Shaun! No! Wait! Wait!” The man’s words became drowned and muffled by falling tears and the collapsing reality around him.<br/>

</div>The shock of returning sense was overwhelming. The ghost within the shell had woken from a depth leading only to lusting rage. Machines and gadgets panicked with fluttering lights and high pitched noises. He knew not where he was, what he was, or what he had once been. His flesh and soul contracted and expanded, his heart nearly collapsed underneath the weight of bolt and steel. Every sensory input rocketed beyond what he could possibly conceive as a human being. The touch, the scent, all that he beheld felt alien. His visage crumbled in anguish, desperation, and shame as he ripped all chords and strings attached to his imposing presence. Loud growling, near screaming, endlessly calling his son’s name—“Shaun! Wait! Shaun!”—into the void of the wretched facility around him. It was laborious, nay inconceivable to register the tempting shapes of his wife as she existed like an unknown form. He attempted to raise his heavy frame from its slumbering domain, weak and frail limbs crumbling underneath the outlandish weight. Barely a step could he accomplish before collapsing into the arms of his better half. A disoriented soul gazed into her emerald techno, yet familiar forms made clearer a misty memory. His raging shock from the sudden awakening fell into the grace of her soothing tones, calming reassurance, and loving touch.<br/>
<br/>
“Shaun…,” A deep exhale escaped him. His palms reached for the dark steel outlining her visage. Welled eyes attempting to make reason of what he saw. What had they done? What had they become? Monsters. “Shaun…” He uttered again as he collapsed onto the hardened floor akin a failing machine. Breaths begot slower and heavier. The twisting and swirling world around him settled as if the carousel man had pushed the button to end the ride and disappoint all the young goers. He took the woman of his life closer as she had mimicked his collapse where they had stood. They were one as flesh and steel, hardened machines of war and restoration. “Lia…,” Faint sounds emerged from digital distortions of buzzing systems. “We have to find him… We have to find him…We have to find him…” His repetitions diminished in vitality for every iteration. Only the vision of the tiny form beyond the stars remained in his mind. The powers that be mocked him. They mocked him even in the depths of his dreams. With assistance from his wife, the man could become onto his feet again. All that was muffled and warped become ever so clear. The Sensory Neural Link within the both of them suddenly kicked in and executed its functions.<br/>
<br/>
A stinging surge hit them, but vanished in an instance again. Their consciousness expanded rapidly. Every molecule in the air felt like a feather against what skin remained. They heard every crack and cling through the foundations of the shabby existence. Their breaths, their senses, their emotions—all of it was one. Never could they even begin to imagine the beauty of such revelation of two souls interlinked. As his eyes welled, so did hers. The man reached for her frame and took her close, lips touching hers. All sensations looped endlessly, bouncing between them back and forth. What he felt, she felt as well. They kissed each other, as they kissed themselves. It was an infinite feedback of arousing emotion that quickly escalated beyond what they were capable of handling at this time. Benjamin jerked away from Talia when it became to be too much. The experience had jolted enough adrenaline to bring him back from the dead. “We have to find him,” he said again with an infinitely more controlled tone.</span></span>
