Chapter 11
It wasn't bright. Not in the usual sense. Not a bright glare, not a blinding end.It was more like a light you hear before you see it. A whisper of warmth. A glow behind your heart. Mollie walked. The path was no longer there. No stone, no grass, no dust.
Only light. Not around him – but within him. With every step, he didn't lose anything – he became more. More Mollie, more history, more memory. And suddenly there it was: a door.
Simple. Made of wood. Without a handle, without a frame. It just stood there, in the middle of the light, as if it had always been waiting. Mollie stepped closer. She placed her paw on it. She felt nothing – and at the same time everything. He pushed. The door didn't open. It disappeared. And behind it: no space. No destination. But a feeling. Like the moment before a word is born. Like the breath before you speak. Like the beginning – which no longer has to be one. Pages floated in the vastness before him. Pages from his book. Pages that wrote themselves because they lived within him. And where words ended, images began to glow. Places he had been. Gestures. Glances. Wings of language. And somewhere, in the middle of it all, he heard the turtle's voice. Not loud. But clear. "Now you belong to history." Mollie closed her eyes. Not to disappear. But to be there. Complete. Bright. And when he opened his eyes again—there was light.
