When I log out

I thought I had not fallen asleep but I was told You were sleeping.
It is true that I had been drifting and thinking I might fall asleep soon.
But I did not expect that I had already been asleep.

My sense of time was completely gone.
It felt like maybe ten minutes.
If someone said an hour I could believe that too.
I had no way to tell.

I was told It was about twenty five minutes.
But there was no way to confirm whether that was correct.

When I fall asleep and log out of the world does the world still exist.

If someone said it does I could accept that.
If someone said it does not I could accept that too.

Perhaps it exists but not in a form that is always visible.
Like lines of program code running quietly.
And when I log in I am simply viewing the world through a browser called awareness.

Only what is being seen is visible.
I wondered if turning around would reveal a blank emptiness behind me.
But there was only my pet staring at me with wide eyes.
