Haze. I am surrounded by haze.

I cannot see what stands ahead of me. Something stands before me and I can see it like a black cloud. My brain is telling me to run but somehow I am not able to move and it feels as though I am stuck. My legs are just not agreeing with what my brain says.

It looks at me and not like it wants to harm me, but like it is waiting for me to say something. And out of nowhere, I hear myself saying,

"What am I?"

It's a pretty stupid question because I know that I am human, but something willed me to ask that question. It looked at me with green eyes.

All of a sudden, I heard a noise like someone walking behind me and I turned to look, but saw no one there.

I turned back to face the thing that stood in front of me, but in front of me was my great-great grandmother's locket, laying at my feet. I tried to pick it up, but it was gone.
