It was dark, and crowded, but I felt.. suprisingly, I felt safe and comfortable, as if I were floating in a warm pool of water. Not at all like what I was told. Death did not seem as scary as I imagined. I was expecting the fiery heat of hell and piercing screams of torment, but—

All of a sudden, I felt as if I were traveling down a long, dark tunnel towards a bright light. And the darkness I had grown accustomed to dissipated as quickly as it'd arrive, replaced by the blinding white flash of light as... "Why couldn't I see?" A thought popped up in my head as I tried to open my eyes, but nothing—not even a flutter.

It was cold now, not at all like the warmth I had grown accustomed to as the warm breeze outside billowed against the curtains. I tried to move my fingers, my toes, anything, but it was difficult! Why was it difficult?.. Did I not die? Am I in the hospital... Did that car crash not kill me??" A myriad of thoughts raced through my mind, and my inability to see did not help at all. "Pls no.. I don't want to be blind."

I felt an insatiable urge to cry, and that I did as I took in the fresh air, followed by the strong, musky scent of iron.. Blood, am I bleeding? Who's bleeding??.

"Waaaaahhhhh!"

A piercing cry hit my ears. Who was that? It's so loud; make it shut u—!!" I froze, the cries halting a bit before continuing as I felt two arms wrapped around me, and then I was placed in someone's arms. "...What the hell is going on?" my inner voice asked, a wave of confusion washing over me .

"ʎqɐq ʇǝǝʍs ʎW.. (My sweet baby)" a woman uttered in a foreign language, albeit breathlessly; her voice was as soft as cotton itself yet breathy as a whisper in the wind.

I strained to understand her words, the crying coming to a halt.. Wait! Hold on .. W-waas that coming out of MY MOUTH.." Something finally clicked in my mind as I came to the realization that I might be where the crying was coming from.

"No. No. I must've lost my damn mind, that's not.. possible"
