The First Pontiff

'Where am I? Am I in a dream?'

Rody struggled to open his eyes, but he felt lost. It was total darkness in front of him.

Rody could help showing a wry smile. 'Since I cannot see anything, what is the difference between opening and closing my eyes?'

Rody was not just surrounded by darkness. He could not even hear a single sound. The darkness was quiet enough to drive people crazy. In that darkness, a person could not see anything nor hear any sound. He would not even know if he would tread on a flat surface or walk off a cliff on his next step. At that time, regardless what was on his mind, there was only one answer.

The answer was...don't know.

Perhaps the unknown was mankind’s greatest fear. Some people might not fear death. However, it would be terrifying if they did not know how or when they would die.
