step .. step .. step .. step ..

The sound of my heels clicking against the ground echos through this blank void. The sun shining in an afternoon position seems to be the only indication of time, something that seems to be passing all too quickly. This place seems to have washed my head of all it's memory, my soul being the only thing clinging to what past I had before this. You have a home. You need to find it. Return to your family. It tells me whenever my legs grow tired of carrying me further. Despite my soul's persistence that I have someone and somewhere I must return to, it can't give me any details beyond that.

step .. step .. step .. step ..

The sun has moved further across the sky now. The sun .. I seems to be the only thing progressing. My surroundings have been blank so far, just like my memory. Everything beyond the presence seems to leave me. Where am I from, who am I, and what's going on? All things I seem to have an answer for, but keep from myself. How am I even supposed to get home? Why do I even feel the need to return? Maybe this is a second chance at something better... Maybe I wasn't good for them, and they put me here. A place from which I couldn't return from. A place where I wouldn't be able to bother them from.

Please don't give up.

Why not? I'm tired. My body aches from trying to continue. I just want to rest. I'm sure whoever is supposedly waiting for me wouldn't mind me being gone for a while longer. That is if my efforts are not being waisted on an unreachable goal.

Just a little longer, you'll make it.. please don't give up.

step .. step .. step .. step ..

Nothing's changed yet everything seems to be getting foggier. Is it my eyes or my surroundings that has given up on me? Either way I continue walking, deciding to listen to the voice that echos everywhere. I look up to see the sun now setting, coloring the sky.

step .. step .. step .. step ..
step .. step .. step .. step ..

There are now another pair of steps, in sync with my own. Upon the blurry horizon I see a dark figure appear. Something in my soul twists and sinks, acting as if it was a scared animal trying to hide from a predator. My body begins to feel heavier with each step. It feels as if  a bunch of heavy wet cloths was clinging to my bones, weighing everything down without giving any support. My throat heats up, but I don't feel thirsty. I don't feel sick but why am I so warm?

step .. step .. step .. step ..
step .. step .. step .. step ..

Without even realising it the figure was much closer. It's appearance was still blurry. The amount of Drea i felt staring at it's undefined features was startling. Why am I so scared of it ? It hasn't threatened me. The scared knot my stomach tied itself into flipped, making me feel nauseous. The knot spread from my stomach to chest, settling in my torso like cement. I felt so much heavier now and .. numb? I still felt the dread, yet it wasn't as sharp as before...

Why is this happening to me? What did I do ..?

<[ I don't want to sound like im making up excuses, I just want to let you all know what's happening.. if you're interested. If not then you can leave, because there is nothing up ahead that would be interesting to you.. just a little self update. ʕ*=ᴥ=ʔ ]

<[ First off, oof. This story went from music to venting. Sorry for that, I didnt mean for it to flip into something odd. ]

<[ Secondly, if you actually enjoyed that crap let me know. I have an ending to it, but if it was left up to me I wouldnt bother posting. Another thing, I don't have my computer anymore so I havn't been able to update as fast as I would like... Basically meaning at all ..]

<[ I've also been dealing with .. how do i put this .. home stuff ? In other words I've been stressed and have had a lack of motivation to get what I would like to get done, done. I've also been rewriting chapter two about a million times, not happy with any of tue results. ]

<[ Anyways, I think I'm going to have a break coming up soon, so hopefully I will be able to get work done.. thank you for listening..]

[ Take care of yourself, please ]
