Chapter 1: A Nocturnal Encounter

Awake in the early hours, my nocturnal tendencies leave me caught in a liminal space between sleep and restlessness. Last night, I was enveloped by a profound sensation of deep purple and gold, floating gently in the air, shimmering and sparkling against the backdrop of darkness.

In this state of semi-paralysis, I felt a sense of safety. Yet, I must confront my ingrained skepticism. How does one differentiate between genuine kindness and hidden malice? I'm learning to discern better. The hues of purple felt:

• Kind
• Powerful
• Both familiar and novel

I allowed these colors to envelop me, intertwining with the soft light blues I sensed within my very being. The next morning greeted me with its usual grogginess and overwhelm. Perhaps it’s best to retreat back into slumber, only to awaken when night falls again, where the comforting purples and golds await.
