first sound

everyone has within them a pulse, a beat that fades and strengthens, waxes and wanes. it's a pulse of light in the darkness, a flash and a wave that rolls outward into the void. that's all life is, a shot in the dark. but sometimes something happens. your little pulse, that twisting ring of light, meets someone else's. and instead of canceling out, instead of breaking down to white static, they merge. they line up and make a new wave that's neither one nor the other, but something else entirely, something stronger, more powerful, more beautiful. and for a little while that one wave expands and becomes your entire universe. nothing else matters
