The IQ Pill (Prologue)
The IQ Pill
Prologue
White is black and black
is white.
Life is death and death
is life.
When you are empty, empty inside,
When you are empty, empty inside,
everything becomes
nothing
and nothing tends to
anything.
The page that lay before me was
white and utterly blank, more so than the walls of my confinement. I was asked
to solve a few simple questions, but my mind was empty: emptier than outer
space, emptier than a banker’s heart, emptier than ever before.
Tick-Tock
As the time ticked away, my heart sped up and my hands started to sweat. They were simple logic based questions and yet my brain registered nothing. The ink on the query sheet was like scribbles that were too stationary for my supersonic mind to pick up. I rubbed my eyes and tried to focus, but nothing helped. My hands shook faster and my heart thumped louder as beads of sweat began to form on my forehead.
I felt suffocated. I felt as if an
iron hand was clenching my lungs and forcing the air out as I tried and failed
to let it in.
Tick-Tock
I think I was losing my battle
with life, and death was creeping up on me. I saw dark at the corner of my eyes
and my head spun. My throat became completely dry and I think I croaked for
water. I am not certain what happened next. All I can recall is that the last
sound I heard was of Time slipping by, going out of reach and pushing me toward
nothingness.
