Ask yourself where you want to spend eternity. Consider eternity as noun and as a verb. Go into a bare room, a void sanctum of intimate dimensions, and sit with yourself, allowing eternity to feather outward as a flood. Notice how eternity, as a flood, does not fill the room, nor drown you. Repeat this exercise every day for a week straight, each time choosing a slightly smaller room, a progression toward deeper intimacy. When the seven days are up, consider eternity as a noun and as a verb. Consider the rooms you have left behind. Imagine yourself sitting in the rooms, and absent from the rooms. Tell yourself a vacant room is a dream. Tell yourself you sitting in a room is a dream. Forget eternity as a noun or as a verb, rid yourself of grammar altogether. Write a story about your experiences.
