When Fates's Too Cruel

I Do Emotional Damage To A Titan

OC

The moment I felt myself floating, I knew I was in trouble. The trouble was that I had no idea where. I was in space. At least that's what my brain told me. My body told me that I was in a void. An infinite expanse of nothingness and complete darkness.

It also made sense. If I was in space, I would no longer be breathing. Then, I realized that I wasn't breathing. I couldn't even if I tried inhaling. I tried to grab my nose to check if anything was blocking it, but I couldn't move. My whole body was frozen.

I tried to kick my legs or wave my hands or do something, but I was unable to move. A wave of panic washed over me, drowning my thoughts in terror. Even though I was in such a large place, I felt claustrophobic.

My mind was whirling, struggling to take hold of where I was. My brain wasn't able to comprehend the vastness of this place. The moment my brain couldn't exact my location, or my body's, my brain started shattering. The wholeness of sanity was giving in to the randomness of madness.

Our brain usually relies on our eyes to detect depth, but when my eyes were completely helpless, my other senses kicked in, but they just shared that this place was out of depth. Like a completely new level of complexity and reality.

In other words, my body was screaming that this wasn't real and was just an illusion. But no matter how hard I tried to snap out of it, I couldn't even flinch or twitch at all.

Then the voices began. The world started to gain colour, but not actually. I started to hear a sound, but not really. The void didn't make any sense already but, now it was just crazy.

Impossible figures started to dance around, taking shapes unimaginably dark. Fear wasn't just a concept anymore, it was as if the void was radiating it.

Voices flooded my senses, strange lullabies in different scripts and different voices. Sometimes the voice was familiar and melodic, but sometimes it was harsh, crackly and outright horrible.

"What is this place? How did I get here?" I whispered to myself, hoping for an answer.

But there was no answer. Only silence.

After who knows how long, something broke. I don't mean the damage of an object, I mean the collapse of an object under stress.

The void broke.

The darkness was cracking. Literally.

Webs of light rocketed throughout the space. Ricocheting from invisible walls, bouncing and dancing through the gloomy, creepy, and mad darkness.

Like reinforcements for an almost defeated platoon.

Like a rainbow after a heavy downpour.

It was a blessing.

Then I woke up on the ground.

For a few moments, I lay still. I couldn't believe I was actually out of there.

I forced my weary arms up.

It worked! My hands could move!

I took a deep breath in.

Brilliant white light scorched my eyeball, but I didn't care. I bathed in the sunlight and vowed to never take the light for granted.

I sat down on a wooden bench.

That's right, I can remember now.

The moment I looked at different things, my brain started getting flooded with memories.

The problem was, that they did not solve anything they made everything ten times more complicated.

How did they get there? Some of them did not feel like mine at all.
