Elli

Prologue

"The Sound..."

There was something in my room, I couldn't get out and I was about to die. I wished I had never stepped off that bus in the first place. By the way, my names Elli. Yes, I know it's a weird name, but you say it the same way you say "Ellie" so there you go. Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, there was something in my room, I didn't know what it was, I couldn't get out and I was about to die. Then it was as if the whole room shuddered, that's when I heard the sound. It was as if someone had put Death, Hate and Emptiness all together, but as a sound. I screamed and cried. There was nothing I could do, I was going to die there and that was all I knew, all I could think, until suddenly, I stopped crying. I didn't feel okay, but the sound was gone and I wasn't in my room anymore. In fact, I wasn't anywhere. I had just ceased to exist and my consciousness drifted through nothingness. I was alone with no senses and nothing but my mind.

That's when I realised what had happened.

I had died.
