Everything was black.
I was curled up into a ball in a deep dark place. It felt like the abyss.
A dark pit in which I continued to fall helplessly. They say it is an endless space devoid of everything.
It was simply unreal how despite being endless, it contained nothing.
I could live here forever, but the thought of being trapped with my thoughts for eternity scared me. I jolted awake.
(gasp)
I gasped but couldn't breathe. It was the same as swimming, but I couldn't lift my head to breathe. My body started shaking desperately.
I flailed around with the last ounce of
energy in me. I kicked and pushed around. (thud)
I hit something. It was rough, cold and massive. I did everything I could.
I started feeling dizzy. I couldn't move anymore.
I was at the edge of the abyss now. Something was pushing me deeper into it. Somewhere I wouldn't be able to get out of again.
Horror and dread paralyzed me.
I dug my nails into my skin. The warm liquid flowing down my elbow, woke me up.
I kicked with all the strength of my right leg.(click)
The wall shifted.
(Huph...cough!hack!.. Huff)
I could breathe. The sweet oxygen filled my lungs as I coughed.
I was alive.
