This choice: The island is perfect, but they actually don't exist: they are nowhere • Go Back...Chapter #5They don't actually exist, they are nowhere by: DougTF   They vanish and reform on a beautiful island, with some palm trees, soft sand, warm water, perfect sunshine and Amy claps, walking around it. "This is perfect Genie, thank you" genie shrugs "I have never done anything even close to this sort of thing, wasn't even sure I could" Amy laughs "No master ever wished to be transported somewhere before?" Genie shakes her head "No, that has happened often, but never to transported nowhere." Amy blinks and turns, "Wait what?" Genie nods "You wished to be transported to the middle of nowhere, so I did. We are nowhere. We actually do not exist" Amy's eyes widen "Wait what, then....hold on, so we are nowhere and don't actually exist, so then..." she looks down at herself "I feel real, and feel like I'm somewhere" Genie giggles "I am sure nothing feels like something when its nowhere" Amy is a little worried "Are we trapped here Genie?" Genie shakes her head "no, when you wish us to be somewhere, I can restore us to existing there....we just don't now"
Amy walks around and feels the palm tree and it does feel...odd. She then looks at her hand, takes a deep breath, and the more she concentrates, the odder the sensations. "This is trippy, if we are nowhere and I am nothing, why do I feel like myself?" Genie sighs "Because you are choosing to be....but you aren't. You're nothing, so it doesn;t matter what you are. By all means, feel free" Amy is confused "Free to do what?" Genie shakes her head "Not do, be. You're nothing, and you are nowhere, so it doesn't matter what you are." Amy still doesn't get it and shakes her head as if trying to clear it. "So, like what, since I don't exist, I can exist as anything, and just think I'm a rock and..." and yes, poof, she's a rock, landing on the sand. Genie picks her up smiling "Now you understand but let me help you" and Genie pulls and tugs the rock back into being Amy who is panting "Oh my God, like I thought I was rock...why did you do that to me Genie?" Genie shakes her head negatively "I did not, since you are nothing, you did it yourself, and yes your mind became that of what you were since you are nothing."
Amy paces "Hold, I turned myself into a rock" fwump, she did it again, and again Genie restores her "Oh my God...I can be anything because I am nothing and I will think like the anything I become because my mind doesn't exist either! I could be trapped." Genie giggles "No mistress, unless you wanted to spend some time as such, I can help restore you. But if we left this place with you as something else, that is what you would be in reality, though you would be self aware as whatever form, even though it normally would not be so"
Amy paces and considers "That's so trippy. It scares me but also really intrigues me. Like...hold on" she closes her eyes, concentrating on NOT accidentally rewriting herself just by thinking about it. "So if I turned myself into something here, when I am actually nothing, and then had you take us back to reality, I would think I was that thing, if that thing could think, even though it can't?" genie nods appreciatively "That is a very complex thought, but yes, that is it exactly. Mistress, I must say, your mental agility is impressive and the only thing that surprises me more is your daring willingness to try things. You're thinking about it, aren't you?"
