Absolute In/Existence

Somewhere, in the vastness of the void, a large island traveled aimlessly.

On the island, was a young man who didn't look a day over 20.

"Hm," the man stifled a chuckle and gave his daughter a deep look. "Alright."

"From the very beginning! From your birth!"

The young woman exclaimed as she looked into her father's eyes with such desire to hear a story.
