The Orbs of Jokun

Michael Podgorski

You spent the previous night tossing and turning, trying everything you could think of to get to sleep. After finally achieving your goal, you wake up in a stark gray room. There is a soft light, its source unseen, filling the room. You are wearing a flowing robe made of a rough material.
A door appears on what you're going to call the eastern wall, despite having no real ability to tell which way east is. The door opens and a glowing orb of energy floats into the room. You hear its voice echoing into your head, "Introductory niceties, human. Your bodily rhythums indicated that your recharge cycle was successful."
You reply...
...what?
Yes? Thank you?
