I am trapped in a murky darkness. No sound, sight or movement can be detected. I stand in a pool of water feeling abandoned and alone. The reflection that stares at me is my former self. My five year old self, weak and not strong. I walk through the water, not making a splash, the water isn't deep, more like a little puddle. My feet skim over the top of the never ending water as I walk through the blackness.

"Hello!? I call out cupping my hands around my mouth. My small voice echoes over and over. Where was I? Where was everyone? Soon I came to a rock. I sat on it and put my knees to my chin. I sniffled and began to cry, my tears drip drop into the pool like rain. The tears stopped and I started off on my journey again. Soon I began weary of the never ending darkness and went back to the rock which had grown bigger somehow. I climbed it and went to sleep, wishing I could find someone.
