At the very beginning, he didn't feel anything but numbness. Was this his beginning of existence, he doesn't remember. Or maybe he just can't.

Sometimes blurry pictures pop up in his head, showing horrific, grotesque scenes. He never focused on them - thinking about them hurt. He does not like pain. Especially if this pain eats all the insides, leaving you to yearn for release, scratching and scratching everything that gets in your way.

The other thing that haunted him all along was the voices swarming around him. Lots of voices. Too many of them. So much, that he couldn't ever understand what they were saying, only one thing sure.

They were in pain.

Like him.

Recently he has started to see colors. Was it... yellow and black? Or red and green? He couldn't tell for sure because he had never seen color. ̶H̶a̶d̶ ̶h̶e̶?̶

It was a nice change.

How much time has passed? Minutes? Hours? Years? Centuries? Did the very concept of time even exist here?

Why he can't say anything?!
Why he can't move?!
Why-

Nothing happens. Everything's the same. As always.

Finally, he felt something.

It was a very weak warmness. Somewhere above him. Then, this feeling (was it... "hope"?) grew in him.

I̶f̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶i̶t̶.̶

B-but it's all right! He can just enjoy it from here.

..

It started to fade away.

"No!" He tried to scream "Don't take it from me!" but nothing came out. Nothing could.

He tried to pull himself up to the warmness with his non-existent limbs.

Why?! Why?! ̶W̶h̶y̶,̶ ̶J̶o̶e̶y̶?̶!̶

N-no! Nonononononononono!

With the last of his strength, he pushed himself and-

The last thing he remembered was warmth all over him.
