Your telling me I applied, was accepted 1

Your telling me I applied, was accepted 1 in 10000, trained in a grueling program, traveled through interplanetary space for 2 years, survived the landing, & the sunsets are blue?
"Well," the spaceship said. "It is a little more complicated than that. You have another hundred years before we reach Blue Dwarf 7. I woke you up too early. This is a simulation."
I groaned, I really had to reset the spaceship for day light savings time. However, with 100 light years to go I would have plenty of time to get around to it.
It wasn't like it was top-priority. I was already too deep into the black abyss of space for time-keeping to matter. And with my enormous crew of one, it mattered even less...
I drifted further into nothingness. Time passed slowly, or quickly, or not at all... It was impossible to tell. There was nothing quite as dreadful as nothing. Then, at last,
there was...something. I couldn't tell what it was at first and thought that maybe I would finally escape this void. But it turned out to be another person trapped in nothingness.
"HEY OVER THERE!" I called. "DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS 'NOTHINGNESS VOID'?" The figure moved toward me.At first it said nothing-Then it let out a roar. It wasn't a person.
No. It was much bigger. a giant? do these things exist in this void? I was sure nothing was here. perhaps this is the first creation to come after humans disappeared?
But if I am in this void and I am thinking, then maybe this thought I am having is actually creation itself, and this giant thing I sense is actually the world my thought made.
Maybe I just smoke too much weed. or maybe I'm not smoking enough. I took the spliff from behind my ear, lit up, and decided that life's too short to create anything at all.
