Numbers swirl all around me. An endless string of ones and zeroes that never stop. As they constantly change.

No way to stop the overwhelming cacophony of noise nor the sheer amount of data washing over me like ocean waves.

My mind moves groggily, slowed down by all the words and knowledge and people I hear chattering incessantly around me. None of it making any sense. And I ignore it all in an effort to hear my own thoughts above the din. Deciding to just drift aimlessly in the tides.

The horrible noise dies away. I can think in blessed peace again.
The world lights up with a million colors like an old tv screen and I am falling. Really falling this time. Not like the jumping on a trampoline, light floaty falling feeling of before, no. This is the heavy 'I've just tripped and can't catch myself' type of falling now.
One second I'm a formless ghost, the next, I once again have a body. Arms and legs magically appearing. Gravity reinstates itself and my feet hit ground hard enough that they tingle with pain. I have too much momentum! Stumbling forwards just to stop myself from falling farther and landing on my face, I just barely manage the small feat.
