Synopsis/Details
A woman awakens in total darkness. She has no idea where - or who - she is. She calls out for help and is heard by a man, who is similarly oblivious. Hand in hand, they decide to explore their surroundings, which seem to go on forever. They approach a faint light. The woman dares to touch it, and they hear a voice. "Earth," it says. They have no idea what that means. The voice continues, telling them that the population - currently zero - will soon be two. They realize it means them. Earth must be the name of the place where they are headed. They are worried. They no nothing about their destination. They no nothing about anything. Finally, seeing each other's nude forms in the dim light, they realize that - as long as they are together - they will make things work.
