It started with a flutter. A beating like wings in my chest. Then it grew and grew and grew. Flooded my body. Rained like a shining cascade. Spread diamonds on my skin. Framed my face with a... smile?

Light.

It was pure and white and it cleared the darkness away. Suddenly I could breathe. Long, slow breaths. I could move and my mind was in control. I was in control. And something else started flooding in too...

Happiness.


The darkness was still there, it still chewed on my fragile soul. But there was something else there now too. Something that filled me up and made me fuller. Full.. happy...

Bright.
