Black Ball

Prologues

In this world, there will always be things that cannot be thought of with logic.

I always believed in that, but an incident before me now left me unable to think anything.

A black stone?

At first when I saw a strange object floating on the river water, for a moment I thought it was a floating stone. I often saw and picked up a pumice stone that was washed away in the river near my house. 

But this time it was different, after slowly drifting the black object closer to where I was standing, I knew there was something strange about it. It was as if the water around that thing was sucked into that thing.

Without fear or rather out of curiosity, I picked it up and began to observe the strange object that was now on top of my palm.

The black thing was not very big, as I grasped it, it was almost covered in all parts by my palm. The first thing that made no sense was that it was round and pitch black, with no color other than black on it. In fact, it was as if not even the sunlight was able to shine on it. Surprisingly again, when I held it, my hand felt nothing, not even the weight of that thing that I should have felt, as if nothing at all.

I observed once again at a very close distance to both of my eyes. Maybe there's something I'm missing.

I tried to lift, throw and then drop the black thing. I can deduce that the black body has almost no weight, just like a bubble ball made of soap, even when exposed to the wind, it is like floating.

I wouldn't be confused if it was a soap bubble, but the thing in front of me was a pitch-black object. A very unreasonable thing.

A black hole?

But the black thing did not absorb my hand which I had been holding tightly. Even my palm is fine, without getting hurt in the least.

I remembered something. I put the black thing in a calm puddle. I was patiently watching what might happen.

I rounded my eyes when I saw the scene before me, slowly the calm puddle of water began to move around the black object. But a few moments passed, the amount of water in the pond was not reduced at all, so it can be concluded that the object did not absorb anything but there was some kind of energy that made the water around it rotate.

Bizarrely.

I still didn't understand anything about the black thing and decided to take it home. I can make sure this thing is very rare, maybe it can be sold for billions of rupiah to be researched.

I nodded a few times, agreeing with my way of thinking. Being a billionaire at a young age can be called a very lucky person in the world. I couldn't help but smile on my face and started walking home tightly grasping the black thing. 

When I got home, I immediately headed for my bedroom on the second floor. Considering that I was alone at home today, I was disappointed that I could not immediately show my discovery to my parents.

I lay my body on the bed, once again watching the black thing in my hand. I tapped on the black object a few times, but another strange thing appeared, it also had no sound when I tapped on the tip of my fingernail, even though it was quite loud. 

A really weird thing.

I stared at it until my eyes started to get sleepy, and then a few moments later I fell asleep.
