Try to ignore the growing fear that something else is terribly wrong. No fuss, no muss. There's no need for doctors. I already know how sick I am. I perfected the systems. Vomit in the morning, wait two hours before eating unless you want to lose it minutes later, go to work and wait for something to change. Wait for it to eventually get better.

I know nothing's going to change, so that's why I decided to seek out the source of the voice. Like a magnet to a lodestone, I find myself drawn to it. I find the epicenter far away from the civilized world. It takes days to reach the location, traveling through the desert by car. But the voice beckons me closer every night now, and I never stray from the path. I sleep in the cabin of my car.

It's easier than a motel. In the morning, I simply open the door and spill bileless and red flecked vomit onto the dry sand and cracked earth to drive away. No pesky cleanup, no one to worry over it. At the end of the third day, I reach my destination. I know what this place is the instant I see it. It's an oasis after days of sand and sun being my only companion.

I look at my phone, seven texts, five missed calls, one voicemail message that is three minutes long, and a 26% charge left on my battery. I don't bother to check any of them. I turn off my cell to conserve those last precious minutes. It's too late to turn back. That door is shut to me now, but another one is opening up. This place is a message.

This place is part of a system of messages that want me to listen to what it has to say. It demands my attention and I give it freely. It is hidden away from the rest of the world like a pearl peeking out from the silt of the sea. Only I can see it amongst the flotsams and jetsam.

The only barrier preventing me from delving deeper is a single chain draped across the entrance to a mind with a warning sign. I trespass it easily and step away from the light of the day into the darkness of the earth. As I cross that threshold between the waking world and my final destination, I can hear that the voice is sending me a message. This is the first time I've heard it.

Heard her clearly. The message is important, but it feels like it's only being transmitted to me.
