I opened my eyes slowly, In front of me was a long and narrow pathway lit up with lanterns. I began walking down the road looking up at the gently flowing lanterns in the air, there chimes sounding like that of a familiar song. I don't remember much however one thing was certain to me, I was lost. I walked for what seemed like an eternity down the alleyway listening to the soft noise of the wind. At this time I felt one emotion and that was numbness, If I could call it emotion. I was not aware that I have ever felt that before. Have I ever felt? Well, Maybe in a way. Most would ask, If you never existed then how are you walking, talking, or breathing? Well the simple answer is, I'm not. The truth is I don't know what happens. As far as I know, I'm nothing that's been nowhere. But everywhere at the same time, So everywhere that you don't even need a where. That's how Every I get. 

   Back to the task at hand, Who am I exactly. Well from what I know or even knew as far as I know, i'm me. Eventually I reached a small pond somehow, I looked down into it and saw a reflection looking up at me. A white haired boy with a blank face looked back at me. He was wearing a black hoodie and plain jeans, His hair curved over one eye. I slowly fell face first into the water. As I hit the water, I started to float on top staring up at the starry sky above me. From the cloudless sky above, a downfall of rain began lightly coating myself and the pond. I watched the stars dance for what again seemed like eternity. Where was I? Not even you know, maybe you have a few ideas. if there is anyone "Viewing my thoughts" for say, id like to ask. What are you? or more importantly Who are you? What are you doing? Look around for a moment. 

Amazing! am I right. You, You are alive. You are important. You have a purpose. Me on the other hand, I'm not sure. If being "Sure" is something I can do. Can I even "do" things? I don't know. Again I found myself felling a numbness in my chest area. As I began "Feeling" this, I slowly sank into the lushfull water. In moments I was submerged in the body of water. Still looking up I extended a hand to the surface in attempt to grasp the cosmos. However, what I grabbed hold of was what seemed to be a gold plated piece of jewelry. It was the most "Beautiful" thing that existed to me. I pulled it closer to me chest as it quickly phased into my chest. I turned in the water to face a bottomless pit of well. Nothing. I smiled for a moment as I sank into it, It peacefully covered my body in a gentle coat of what seemed to be mud. The numbness faded as it did so and I eventually drifted off into what one would call "Sleep". Perhaps for eternity, but nothing lasts forever...
