Silence, silence was all that was heard. For miles, silence was dominant over the cold, lonely, isolated land.

She was alone in the cold, lonely, isolated land. There was ice under her feet. Its pale blue, partially transparent and reflective surface looking back at her mocking her. The ice under her feet. What used to be the lake, the now frozen lake. This was the lake where everything had gone wrong.

She heard her name being called in the distance, but there was no one in sight. She ignored the pleas and calls to get out of the cold, lonely, isolated land. She had to get out, but she couldn't, didn't want to leave. To leave the beautiful, cold, lonely, isolated land.

There was too much, too many things being left behind. Even though things had gone wrong, everything was there, the feelings, it was familiar.

The land was still cold, lonely and isolated, but the feeling, the feelings had returned. There was no more numbness, she felt alive.

Alive, alive, alive... Was she alive? Alive, as in living...Living, was she living? In the land of the living?

But the silence, the feelings, everything was there. Except, there was silence now, and ice... Ice, ice, there wasn't ice during the incident. But, this was the lake. This was still the lake, despite the cold, lonely, isolated land. It was all so inviting, familiar, she didn't want to lose it all over again. Even if it was a frozen land of what she remembered. Even if it was lonely, she had the feeling come back. Feeling, the thing she had forgotten after the incident.

She decided.

Despite the pleas and calls to get out of the beautiful, inviting, cold, lonely, inviting land, she wanted to stay, she had to stay.

She stayed and all she heard was silence, but there was still the feeling. Silence in the land, in her memories that were frozen in time.

There was finally silence forever. The pleas stopped, it was just her and her thoughts.

Lost and disconnected from all of things real.
