Elon had drifted into a place where sound did not exist, where even memories felt like distant echoes sliding into darkness. For a moment—though it could’ve been an eternity—he felt weightless, suspended between two worlds. Then something yanked him back. Hard.
His eyes snapped open.
The white hospital lights above him flickered like dying stars, trembling as if they, too, feared what had returned. He inhaled sharply, a dry, broken gasp that cut through the silence of the ICU. Tubes rattled. Monitors beeped frantically. But Elon didn’t look at any of them. He stared straight into the small black lens of the camera in the corner of the ceiling, as if he knew exactly who—or what—was watching.
His voice was barely more than a whisper, yet it sliced through the room with chilling precision:
“I know what death feels like now… and nothing can stop me anymore.”
The nurse outside the glass panel froze mid-step. One of the doctors dropped the clipboard he was holding. They exchanged uncertain glances—was it delirium, trauma, or something far more unsettling? No one dared to step inside.
On the bed, Elon slowly lifted one trembling hand. Every muscle protested, but he forced his fingers toward the keyboard resting near him. The moment they touched the keys, something changed in his expression. His eyes, once vacant, now held a clarity that felt almost unnatural—like someone who had glimpsed a blueprint of the universe and returned with secrets he wasn’t meant to keep.
The keyboard began to clatter in the dimly lit room.
Click.
Click-click.
Click-click-click.
At first, the doctors assumed he was typing nonsense. Random letters. Pain-induced gibberish. But the pattern grew faster, more deliberate. Lines of code spilled across the screen. Then symbols no one recognized. Then sentences—fragments of a vision, warnings, formulas that bent logic, notes about boundaries between life and something beyond it.
His pulse should have been weak. Instead, it steadied. His breathing evened out. The machines around him began to register values they couldn’t comprehend.
It was as if the moment he touched the keyboard, the act of creating—of shaping—pulled him further away from death and deeper into something else entirely.
No one dared interrupt him.
Because something in the room felt different now. Heavy. Charged. Like electricity right before a lightning strike.
What had he seen in the void?
What had whispered to him in the borderlands between existence and oblivion?
And most importantly—what exactly was he writing now, with a determination so intense it made the entire ICU feel like the birthplace of a new and dangerous idea?
The keyboard kept clicking in the dark, spelling out the beginning of a plan that could reshape humanity—or unravel it.
