I woke up screaming.

Well, I thought I did. I had no recollection of any pain at all, but I woke up with my chest heaving and my throat raw. I also woke up with a sense of wild relief. Definite signs of a person who was screaming.

I slowly sat up and looked at myself.

Holy crap, my arms and legs are dirty. I scanned the rest of myself. My cloths were torn. My head hurt too. I must have really screwed up when I-

I frowned.

What did I do?

Gee, how hard did I hit my head (if I hit my head)?

I retraced my steps in my memory, from the blurry scene around me to how I got here-

I got nothing. My chest tightened. My breathing increased.

How is everything dark? I have no images, my mind can't even create a relic.... I can't recall, anything. This was ridiculous. I could have maybe taken a walk from my home...

No. No.

Nothing pieced together. The darkness wove tighter and tighter. It was no longer pressure in my head, but in my mind itself.

I feel like I should know something. Because something, is telling me that I didn't just end up here. But I'm getting nothing but a darkness that doesn't end. I can't look foreword of backward. I can't see anything.

This feeling...greed? Am I this desperate that I just want anything? Why can't I get anything? My hands...they're reaching out but nothing is-

It's scary. It's frightening.

I'm scared.

I desperately searched. For any grain of sand, anything that I can hold onto. Everytime, my fingers slipped.

Where did I come from? How did I come here? What-

My eyes slowly widened. What... What is my name? I do not even know....my name?

Why is there more darkness? Why can't I see anything? Why? At least a letter! Anything! An image, A voice... An emotion, because all I can feel right now, is fear.

I gripped my head.

My confusion heightened. I can't feel, I can't think...all I want to know, is

Why.

Who.

Where.

This darkness is suffocating. I'm not breathing. What...what the heck? I spat. I drew a violent breath. I pressed harder. I eventually started yelling in frustration. I drew as many breaths as I could. What the heck? What the heck? What the heck what the heck-






Something broke inside me. Then, the pain that I had thought I didn't remember came back.

Hell.

I screamed again.

I want to die. I want to die!

Why is this feeling, so eternal? When will it end?

Somebody....somebody just end it!

I screamed. I collapsed. I might have writhed, maybe I was on the ground. I don't know. I don't know anything.

I sunk deeper.

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid....
