It felt like a dream.


Falling from the sky. Feeling the breeze that guided you until you eventually collided with whatever it was.


Until I realized what I just said.


The adrenaline that I had come to grow fond of kicked in once again.


I couldn't even hear my own screaming.


The severity of the situation hit me as soon as I saw a field of green below me.


I was falling into a forest.


I imagined what my corpse would look like. Mangled. Bits spread all over the trees. Bones sticking out everywhere.


When the forest became clearer, I only hoped it would be a quick death.


Within a few seconds, I eventually crashed through the leaves and into the soil below.


...


...


...


When I woke up, I felt excruciating pain.


The pain was overwhelming like the euphoria I felt in the restroom.


What was odd was I could feel everything inside me.


Nothing was broken, misplaced or even missing.


I begrudgingly lifted my head to survey the crash site.


As expected, the trees didn't take too kindly to my arrival. Their branches and leaves were on the ground where I had landed.


My only thought was how I wasn't dead.


Another thought I had was why the mirror became a portal to another world.


Not wanting to think about it during all this pain, I chocked it up to just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.


I looked at myself expecting the worst.


Just a couple of bruises...


Sighing in relief, I went through the agonizing process of getting up off the ground.


After doing that, I arch my back as I straighten myself out while still a little dizzy from the fall. 


Now that I'm standing and at ease, I gotta think about where I am.


I'm in the middle of a forest in an unknown environment that I have no prior knowledge of.
