In a room alone.

Meanwhile,  in a parallel universe, all alarm noises are on 24/7 , and you  wake up to bursts of deafening silence.
You pull over for emergency vehicles as you feel the oncoming pocket of 'nothing'.

“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” Blaise Pascal ,Pensees

I have spent much of my life in a room alone.
