Tabitha squinted her brown eyes, peering into the shade. Only dim light shown here, wherever here was. The girl sighed, running a creamy white hand through her short pink hair nervously. She had no idea where this place was or how she got here, but at least her eyesight was adjusting to the dim lighting. However, she had no clue where the light was coming from. She could see no light source, but the place was clearly bathed in a soft glow.
Her feet squelched as she shifted her weight, sending a shiver of revulsion up her spine. Ankle deep water covered the ground as far as the eye could see, leaving her feet cold and clammy. Her movements made little ripples in its surface.
Just as she started splashing her way somewhere (hoping she could find her way out), a brighter light caught her attention. Unlike the omnipresent glow of this bizarre place, this new light shown brilliantly in comparison and had an actual source. She pulled back (squinting a bit from the sudden onslaught of light) but soon found the light to be gentle and welcoming.
The brilliant light radiated from a beautiful girl standing on a mound of dirt. A serene smile graced her face, but Tabitha was annoyed at the woman's distinct lack of wet feet. Why should that girl get to keep her feet dry while she couldn't?
"Welcome to The Realm Between Life and Death," the glowing girl said.
