Prevailing patience musters moderate seriousness

Last week I bought a pair of jeans, and in the pockets there were a set of car keys. I tried to find out who the keys belonged to, but when I went back to the store, it was simply gone. Vanished into thin air, as if the street had just swallowed it up! I snooped around the area a bit more.
What I saw in front of me didn't make sense to my mind. My eyes could see what I would assume was there, but my mind didn’t understand what it was. It was like a door or entrance, made of pure light with no borders surrounding it and the outside. I forgot where I even was, and honestly, I still don’t remember what happened between the time I started snooping around, and the moment I first laid my eyes upon that indescribable door-like entity. In fact, I don’t remember anything at all about that area. When I opened the door I was in another place.
As I passed through the door, it closed behind me, and I found myself in what appeared to be a completely blank space. I felt warm and comfortable, but very confused, and I cried out for help.
I cried, but there was no sound. I looked back, and my entry, and therefore my exit, was gone…

So that brings you to where I am now. I am nowhere. Every once in a while, the world reappears, and I am standing in the middle of a clothing store. There are people around me, happily shopping, and I always try to yell, cry out for help, but they don’t hear me, and the world fades away, back to the pure white light, back to the warmth and comfort. Back to the purgatorial void that I have been forced to know and love as my home. And now you are here with me.
