There was nothing except an infinite blankness going to the horizon. Sasha knew not why or how she was there, yet it was an undisputable fact. Truly, she was lost in this great largeness. Fortunately for her, it was not cold or unpleasant. It was just lonely.

-Hello Sasha.

A voice! One that echoed forever in this place and brought comfort to her ears and mind. She finally had some human contact.

-Concentrate on my voice, Sasha.

She did not have to be told, as it was the only thing that made her sane right now. She could not bear to be left alone with her thoughts in so large and impossible an area.

-Follow my instructions now, Sasha. Think of your family and friends.

Doing as she was asked, an image of her family appeared in front of her, as she saw her old parents and her younger brother with her huge plethora of friends. The sight of them brought an impossible level of warmth to her heart.

-They will disappear now. Forever out of your sight and your mind. They have never existed for you.

Like the voice said, the vision of her family and her friends gradually disappeared from her line of sight. Screaming unintelligibly, Sasha cried at the thought of losing them again, until she did as he said and forgot all about them. This did not seem to stop he sadness and anger as she continued to scream and cry, knowing not why she did so.

-Calm yourself. You are not sad or angry. You are happy.

Following the voice, she stopped her tantrum this instant. Yes, it was no use to scream for no reason at all. That would be silly and irrational.

-Think of your job and all that it entailed, Sasha.

Soon, multiple visions of her days in school studying appeared next to her actual job. She loved her line of work as a teacher, showing kids very important lessons about life and mathematics. She could picture all those smiling child that knew how to count thanks to her.

-You never had a job or went to school, Sasha. You know absolutely nothing except what I tell you.

These visions soon went away, the blankness eating them. Not feeling sad at all, she was still calm. After all, the voice had asked her to be happy.

-Remember your home and possessions, Sasha.

She could remember it very well, her apartment with all her little belongings. Her books, her bed and her kitchen; it was all there in front of her and in her mind.

-Those never existed, Sasha.

Just like that, this was gone as well. Now, she knew nothing, did nothing and did not have anyone close. The only thing left was her happiness thanks to the voice.

Hearing a sound from the blankness, she saw a door open.

-Get away from the room, Sasha.

The voice being all she knew, she obeyed, which would be her life from now on.
Day 9 of the 12 days of Hypnos. This one required to write a subject going under, then going blank with absolutely nothing left in their mind.
