The 'water' made her ears tingle. All that could be seen were blurry black visions. It was a strange feeling, like all weight was lifted off and one was simply floating. In the darkness, the mind was easily mudded and the sense of weightlessness made it hard to differentiate up from down and right from left. For a brief moment it was like she had re-entered a state of non-existence. Despite the absurdness of her situation, an ethereal calmness washed over her.
Maybe it was shock, or she might have just needed time to process things. Either way she stayed absolutely still. Before she knew her vision returned. It was like her soul and body were separated, pulled through a strainer and then reconstructed. Then she felt like she was falling back, or more accurately falling into a body, her body.
The whole experience was nauseating. Her first instinct was to scream, but she stifled it before she could have attracted any unwanted attention. She lay motionless. Flat on the ground and unresponsive like a dead body - mind blank. For a time she didn't even blink.
Soon the stillness caught up to her. She blinked rapidly to stop herself from shedding tears due to irritation. Then she sat up with a start, immediately going into a fit of coughing. Her memories were vague and corrupted, even her name seemed to be locked behind strings of broken code. She moved her limbs around erratically as if to test if she were merely in a dream.
It was real, nothing seemed of place. Her eyes, her limbs, her ears, and the rest of her body seemed intact and functioning. She stood up - her feet unsteady. With one hesitant step she came closer to a big building in the distance.
Her actions were prompted by the muffled memories of instructions that she had received earlier. A warehouse job, that was why she was here. Prompted by an unseen force she accelerated towards the building in an almost robotic fashion.
