Still darkness.

Some time ago he slipped into an extended reverie which his kind must take periodically. Being so powerful requires a tremendous amount of energy, you know.

He's experienced the reverie before, but this time is different. This time his body seemed to have decided he was done resting before his mind did. He feels awake and alert yet he is surrounded by the empty void of unconsciousness. He can't say how long he's been in this state. Maybe minutes, maybe years. His only choice is to wait it out though and eventually his mind will get the memo. "Oh, right!" his mind will say as it realizes that the body has been waiting all this time for it to catch up. Suddenly, the black will fill with light and old memories will come true. Once his eyes adjust to the world around him he will be back in Matunuck, probably, or where ever he was when he slipped into reverie. Every thing will be as it was and he will check the status of the things that mattered at the time.

This got him to thinking of things that did matter. He would have to check in with his secretary, Gracie, when he finally woke up. Certainly she's loyal enough to still be his secretary after all this time. The Michael, hopefully will have resolved this werewolf issue and no doubt his own lycanthropy probably will have disappeared after his re-energizing. All-Powerful Mick will give him all the news that matters and he can settle back into his comfortable little cottage on Matunuck Beach. With Georgia. Georgia who he missed most of all.

Even though they had had their disagreements about who had destroyed who's wall, she is one of the only things that keeps him entertained in this world. He's quite sure that goes double for her since on her best days she seems to teeter-totter on the edge of insanity. Will she have changed since they last spoke? Will anything have changed? Will anything be the same?

He grows more impatient for his reverie to end as time goes by.

Darkness. He awoke to only darkness, and that's where he's been.
