I sit at my desk, just like every day of my life. Every day of my miserable life. Work. Work. Work. Sucks. I hear footsteps in the hall but I don't think much of it. A few minutes later the lights go off. I feel around on my desk for a flashlight... Nothing. I freeze when I hear the door creak slightly. Oh shit. I'm about to ask who's there, but I'm stopped by a sharp pain in my neck. I scream as the pain spreads through my body in a matter of seconds. My lungs tighten and I can no longer breathe. Do you know what it feels like when the blood just stops pumping to your heart? I guess it kind of feels like a heart attack. But in your whole body instead of just your heart. Suddenly the pain stops. But what follows is no better. The only darkness of the room turns into an odd nothingness. I'm not sure how to explain it, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. My whole body goes numb, as if I no longer exist. I still cant breathe, but I don't feel like I have to anymore. I stop struggling. I let the nothingness consume me.
