You have just stumbled across the last -snipped-.
There have been many experimental threads over the years. I am reasonably certain this is the last. So do have fun with it.
Do share your last successes, big or small. As and example, I cleaned up a couple eyesores in my front yard. No big announcements, but I never quit. As for job changes, entrepreneurial success; blast those as well, you deserve it.
This forum is kind of a reference to yesteryear. It is what used to be here. I am trying to bring back that family. Things have become way too business. Joy and camaraderie is what to be here, or leastwise is used to be; I want to bring that back.
Newbies will not understand; newbies become oldies.
In as much flash fiction is a lost cause everywhere as to income, decided to print one here:

Sometimes when I open the basement door, there is nothing on the other side.
This has been somewhat disconcerting to say the least. Incidentally, it is interesting to note that the color of nothingness is black. Makes sense.
This has happened to me on several occasions. I finally decided it was time to do something about it.
So the next time it happened, I put my hand in. My hand disappeared. The blackness of nothingness was all there was. I pulled my arm back. My hand was still there. Thank goodness for that. Was a stupid thing to do. The blackness remained.
I stood there and mulled things over for awhile...
I stepped through. I was in that kind of mood.
I was enveloped in blackness. I also didn't seem to be standing on anything anymore.
I then somehow started to feel motion...
At first it was barely detectable. But then it became more so. I could not figure out how I knew this. Motion is relative and I could not see or feel anything. Yet I knew I was moving.
And then the blackness began to fade... Somehow I was no longer limited by the visible spectrum. I could see it all, from gamma rays to radio waves. I even saw the interplay of gravity. I never knew that gravity rippled...
All of this made perfect sense, since I didn't seem to have eyes or the rest of my body anymore. I truly seemed to have become one with all; no longer hampered by the filtering of perceiving through senses.
Then, as far as time and space were concerned; reality left, and relativity arrived.
I could now perceive at whatever time and spatial sense I wished to perceive. I made solar systems spin like atoms, backwards and forwards. I turned molecules into picturesque Tinker-Toy sets. I wandered through the static maze of an exploding star. There seemed to be no limits to what I could do.
So I began to ponder...
I then began to search.
I explored every meteor, comet, asteroid, moon, planet, sun, solar system, and galaxy.
I explored every molecule, atom, electron, boson, quark, lepton, and strangelet.
I explored every universe. I explored every dimension.
I did not know what I was looking for, but that did not matter. I knew I would recognize it when I saw it.
And then I saw it. It was small, round, and shiny. I reached for it...
I was home again.
