A Step Between Blue Giants

The quiet air felt solid before it suddenly shifted. I blinked, my fingers easing out of their locked stance. Looking around, I found myself standing on a long dark grey surface, flanked by two towering blue figures lined up stiffly against the white wall. Neither of them moved. I took a slow, calculated step forward, feeling the smooth ledge beneath my shoes. Testing my weight, I reached out and gently rested my hand against the knee armor of the blue mechanical figure beside me. Solid, quiet, still. I pulled my hand back and paused, taking in the wide open room ahead.
