I like this story . . . the author has a talent for evoking sentiments that are simultaneously vague and deep, and not revealing just how he does it. Nice job of descriptive prose, too.

I especially liked:
And as I "drifted" past cities inhabited by myriad life forms, unbound by time and bursting with every known wavelength of light, I began to feel something akin to homesickness -- all of it was somehow familiar to me. It was as if I'd been to those places before, had once encountered those same beings; yet, I couldn't seem to figure when, because every time a memory came it would be gone before my mind could catch it.
Is there a message here? Not really, I don't think, but rather than 'short and to the point,' this story was more 'short and to the question.' Very provocative.
