“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“The world didn't end with a whimper or a bang. Your life finished in complete silence. Gone in a blink. And then there was nothing.”
F.K. Preston“There are things we cannot vocalise because the repercussions of particular thoughts have the power to break lives.”
F.K. Preston“Live this life as gently as you would breathe in the seaside air. Then release all those dreams and wonders to the water. Keep breathing until you’re inches from where you wish to be. Then exhale, remembering that gentle life you grew up from.”
F.K. Preston“What is infinity? I haven’t a clue.But maybe that’s the whole point I’ve been attempting to explain to you.The fact that it’s not knownOr seenOr heard.Infinity is every person, every being, every bird. Infinity is a simple mystery.It looks like a mystery.Tastes mysterious.Feels like something completely delirious. We cannot imagine what this sound could be.All we can imagine is infinity.”
F.K. Preston“We are not bound by time. But there are things we cannot speak of because the repercussions of particular thoughts can break lives.”
F.K. Preston“No one ever claimed that creating art was simple. But they failed to mention the mess.”
F.K. Preston“Two dreams and a cup of coffee later.”
F.K. Preston“Dreams are memories we’ve lost to sleep.”
F.K. Preston“Dreams are memories. Memories are dreams. But my time with you hasn’t become a dream just yet. Because the sensation of your kisses keep me from sleep. I’m in love, God help me, I’m in love.”
