An anxious instant

The story of an instant really busy.

There was an instant before the universe was created. And the intant was in God. And the instant was God. As God had not put labels on things, matter, space and time were concentrated in the instant and did not differentiate between them and weren't conscious of themselves. But when the universe was created, it did not happen in an instant, or by any Big Bang, the moment was multiplied by many moments and they were aware that they would dominate the Universe.

There was once a time where an instant that was part of the great family instants of Emperor Alexius I Comnenus.

Alexius saw one day, through one of the green countryside surrounding the palace, which it moved toward him and it swallowed him. Once inside, Alejo levitated a few meters above the ground. When he thought of bringing the objects looked around, they immediately approached him, and the more focused on them thinking to see more clearly between its details, objects opened themselves and left to penetrate his vision, showing the details inside.

The images became sharper and behind the thousands of faces coming and going, the booming voice of a slave entered his ears. Sound waves led him to a small adobe house in the suburbs of Constantinople.

The slave spoke but Alexius understood nothing of what he said. He tried desperately to return to his world, his time, but something stopped him. The slave approached so close that Alexius could feel his breath. Suddenly everything went dark and Alexius awoke on the grass of the fields that had gone hunting.

When he saw his lover, he told what had happened and Mary tried to convince him that was a dream. But Alexius did not assimilate the experience as something imaginary and tried to understand. Hey confessed Mary that as a child had discovered the existence of the instants that rule the world. He had discovered his restless instant one night I could not sleep. The instant thought that the boy dreamed and approached his bed so close that Alexius surprised him staring and asked 'Who are you and why are you here?
