Rewind.


How did I get here?


Trying to remember is the hardest thing I've ever done. I continue to journey down this endless tunnel while trying to squeeze out my story. I travel farther each second with a tone in my head. Whoosh. That same noise. Constantly filling my mind. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. I thought maybe, just maybe, I loved the ocean. The sound of waves makes me remember the water crashing against my body. Moist.

The sound of the water still captivates my mind. What does it want to do with me. As I travel, the water get stronger. Then I stop. A dead stop. The noise of the waves fade away.

I'm scared.

Alone. Stuck.

I push.

I don't budge.

Harder

I can't move

Stuck

The sound of the waves get stronger.

Not again I think. I feel the rush against my body. It's just not sound. My ears are filled with it.

LOUDER

IT HURTS

I feel it everywhere. It won't stop. I try to plug my ears. I pull one arm up to the side of my ear. One hand on. I try to get my other hand over the ear, but its stuck. Not now. The sound is not only hurting me.

It's pushing me.
