So he picks it up, and starts walking. Somewhere in this dark void, he finds a room with no walls. There’s a table, a chair, some clocks, and a typewriter. He gets into a routine of typing everyday but finds that he only writes one page every time. He gets trapped in this loop. This is his limbo. Until a voice calls to him and tells him that there is a way out. So he decides to trust this voice. He closes his eyes and starts to fall. Then suddenly, he's immersed in an immense white light.
