Everything around me is black, dark, really dark, darkness all I see and I hear nothing, no one. I ask myself what this place is. Am I dead? Am I still alive? What happened to me? What happened to my mother?! My questioning was interrupted when suddenly I saw a bright light. It was coming closer, everything was white and bright now. Like the sun, brighter than a white painted room. It's burning, it's burning my eyes. It's almost blinding. I hear a weird and quiet noise now. Like from an old TV that's broken with a static screen, far away. Oh wait, what's that? I see a shadowy figure far away. It looks familiar, even too familiar.. It started to form a shape which I instantly recognized. Is that my mom?! I start running over to her and called out to her.

"Mom?! Is that you?!"

"Hey! Mom it's me!"

"Can you hear me?!"

I was now standing behind her. I realized there was something off about her. Then she started to laugh. It was a distorted laugh like from a broken robot. This isn't my mom. I started to back away slowly before taking a full turn and running away. The shadow started to chase me. I kept running the shadow was getting closer and closer. I knew I couldn't run much longer and it got me. It pinned me to the ground and I looked at it's face. It was uncanny and horrifying like a disfigured human. I tried to scre-

-September 29th 2034-

I woke up screaming in a cold sweat. I was trying to breathe normaly from what I think was a nightmare. Or was it a nightmare? A nurse and doctor rushed into the room. They looked very surprised. They told me that they were surprised I was awake so early. How long has it been I asked. They told me I had been unconscious for the past 8 days. They also told me that the monster that had caught me ripped off my right arm and that they tried everything they could to save as much of it as they could. I was in shock and disbelief. It turned into me screaming and beathing heavily as soon as I took a look at it. It was nearly all gone, the only thing that was left of it was my shoulder and around 2 centimeters. My heart was racing. The doctor and nurse tried to calm me down because this wasn't the end of the news just yet. Once I tried to calm myself down again it also seems like my right eye was injured during the event since it was covered with bandages. The doctor explained to me that a large glass shard was stabbed into my eye and they couldn't save it and had to remove my eye completely. I was still distressed however when I thought about it, it wouldn't really change much since my right eye was very weak and I always had a blurry vision. Then a thought hit me. Like the first drop of rain on a cloudy day. Where is my mother? I started to worry even panic and asked the doctor where my mother was. The doctor didn't answer and just stared at me along with the nurse. I asked again while starting to shake and being on the verge of tears. The doctor took a deep breath and started to explain what happened during the incident 8 days ago. He explained that after I got injured my mom broke into tears and became furious. She kept fighting and tried her best to defeat the monster, yet suddenly a portal opened below it. The monster was going down as my mother and the other heroes of her group were trying to get everyone away from the portal that devoured everything in its way. And in the blink of an eye the monster grabbed her and tried to pull her into the portal with it. My mom tried to free herself and fight back but it was already too late and the portal closed and she disappeared without a trace along with the monster leaving only destruction behind. I was paralyzed with my mouth slightly dropped with my eyes wide open. I didn't know what to think. Was my mom really gone? Tears started to flow down my cheeks like a waterfall as I was trembling and gripping onto the bedsheets. I wanted to say something but before I could get out a single word a sharp pain in my chest struck me and everything went black again.
