Setting eyes on the bones and skulls that lay on the smouldering ground, i began to feel a burning sensation of discomfort down my spine and my heart started to create a certain type of pain that was almost unbearable to contain. I remember my cousins talking about something in my first life, and although I didn't know what it meant, they said i had algophobia. My world around me started to flash before my eyes, trying to understand what was happening and get a grip of the sense of fear that i was enduring. So i ran. Around me, i could see the florescent colour of blue rising up into the atmosphere and i then realise, they're all dead souls disappearing from my view. I didn't want to be here nor did i want to experience this type of place i'd never seen before. My raspy breath could be heard again and although i felt disquieted i kept going, speeding up whilst my heart rate increased rapidly. Only once i realised that i'm nowhere near the bones and skulls, did i slow down, but my eye sight never left the floor. God, i wish i never saw that. I thought to myself, my body burning up under my baggy clothing. I think i may have pulled my leg whilst sprinting but for my safety, it was something that had to be done. At the same time, the sky had gone from a bloody red to dark grey, and i then thought, the sky in this place is never blue or a nice pink. The further down into the meadow i went i felt like i was actually being watched which scared me to the brink that I almost lost my balance. Demon-like statues were built along the path that i was walking on and after what seemed like forever, i finally realised where i was. Devil's meadow.
