It was strange to be in a state of nonexistence. I couldn’t tell if I were dead or not. All I knew was that I was aware of my consciousness but I didn’t know where I was. I wanted to say something but I couldn’t because I didn’t have a body. I couldn’t look around even if I tried. There was no sound. I couldn’t feel anything. So this was the end…I never thought it would happen like this. I didn’t have the best life, but I wanted it to be longer at least. And Victor…would I ever see him again? I remembered how he said he couldn’t communicate with the dead. We were doomed then. I don’t know how long I was in this state because it felt like forever but at the same time it felt as though no time passed at all; perhaps it was because there was no time in whatever I was experiencing. I wondered how long this would go on. Maybe this was death. Maybe there was no afterlife, just this state of experiencing my non-existence.
Just then I felt like I was choking, or drowning. I tried to cough but I couldn’t. There was nothing I could do. I could feel my non-existing eyes fill with water, my ears fill with blood, and my entire body tensing up and expanding as if I were about to explode. Finally I let out this blood-curdling scream as I felt the most pain I had ever felt in my entire life. I heard glass shattering everywhere; I saw all of these flashes of multi-colored lights flickering violently all around me. Then there were unearthly voices wailing and moaning and more shattering glass and thunder claps. I covered my ears and screamed until there was nothing left.
