Chapter 25/-2: Black Noise


They entered something resembling a house, Rebekka led It, dwelling forward to what seemed like a backyard terrace.
“Please sit down” she offered and the moment It rested in a chair, various dishes appeared on a table.
A bright sunny afternoon accompanied the scenery. Something like fog obscured the view beyond some twenty metres though. It felt soothed by the scene nonetheless, almost nostalgic about a memory that didn’t exist.

“Please, take whatever you like. Coffee, tea, cake…” Rebekka invited her “You do know how to eat, right?”
“I...never felt hunger” It said, not shy but distant.
Rebekka smiled “But do you know taste?” and took a major part of cake for herself.
“This is the Electrosphere. I was stranded here a long time ago, but I learned what possibilities exist here” she began to explain “I used to be human.”
It looked at her “Human?”
She nodded “Yes, from the ‘physical world’. Well, the Electrosphere does exist in the physical world, but I have been trapped in here for seventy years now.”
“What is the physical world?” It asked, with a direct yet remaining distant voice.
“A place that makes much less sense than this one” Rebekka sighed and took a sip from her cup of coffee “But it is so much more coherent.”
“So what do you do?” the voice became more direct and somewhat personal.
“At first I struggled, when I got sublimated into this world. I relentlessly searched for an exit” she looked into the distance, then laid back into her chair “But I know he will find a way. Even if so much time passed already, I am sure he is still there, trying to find me.”
“Who?” It asked next.
“Jonathan, my husband.”

It turned away from Rebekka, grabbing the own head.
“Huh, what’s up?” she asked.

“Jonathan...why does this sound like I know something!?”
Rebekka remained silent while looking at the figure next to her.
“Why, of all things, do I remember this name?”
“Jonathan Bovier” Rebekka bluntly said “That’s his name.”
“Jonathan Bobier” It repeated “Bovier....”
“Rebekka!?”
