The Visit of Infinity - La visita del infinito
I woke up early, as I did every morning, ready to go to work.
When I tried to sit up, I realised I couldn't move.
For a moment I thought I was still dreaming.
"Wake up," I told myself.
I looked up at the ceiling. Then my eyes wandered across the pictures on the walls, towards the window...
Wait a moment.
There should have been a wardrobe beside it.
There was nothing.
Everything beyond the window was black.
Half the room had become a black space, and the door had disappeared into it. Even if I managed to stand up, I thought, there would be no way out.
Then, unexpectedly, I succeeded.
At the same time, I watched the black space continue advancing until the entire room had been reduced to a single point of light.
A strange point that never ceased to shine.
Amid the deepest darkness, the point of light drifted towards me.
Then I heard it laugh.
It seemed amused by my bewilderment.
It came closer...
and closer...
until it swallowed me.
Inside the point of light there was neither darkness nor light.
Only every possible universe...
and every instant of time...
passing before me.
That was when I woke up.
Me desperté temprano, como cada mañana, para ir a trabajar.
Cuando intenté incorporarme, descubrí que no podía moverme.
Pensé que aún seguía soñando.
«Despierta», me repetí.
