empty darkness

The darkness was overwhelming. It shut out everything. It was so dark it was blinding. If you stared too long at one spot it would burn in your eyes, you could feel your nerves trying to understand the void, trying to find an object to focus on but they only found nothing. This was not your ordinary darkness. This was a darkness that came from emptiness. From nothing came black and it enveloped everything. It was all around them and all over them. It wasnt just the absence of light it was the absence of all. It drove them crazy.
One couldn't try to understand how or why or what exactly had happened, it was too much to take in, or too little. But it was there, all of a sudden, from nowhere, in a few short seconds of motion everything had changed, at least in that little spot in the galaxy. It was more than the people could bear.
