dreaming

          i jolt awake the second i hit the bottom of the dark hole. it seems weird because the previous white lights are now gone.

          "what's wrong, michael? afraid of the dark now?" that taunting voice speaks again, "but i thought darkness is your friend."

          my hands clasp over my ears. i can't stand this girl any longer. please, anybody... make it stop.

          "get me out of here!" i shout with all my might, my eyes screwed shut.

          the girl erupts into fits of laughter and the sound echoes as it bounces around the steel walls.

          "walls? what walls, michael?" her voice is calm as she asks.

          and that's when i open my eyes, just to find myself at the bottom of the hole with the girl looking down on me from the opening above.

          "michael... stupid, innocent michael... these aren't walls, silly. you're still dreaming."
