I feel it all at once. Pain, suffering, confusion. my mind is everywhere and I can't tell what's going on. I feel empty, as if there is nothing left in me.

I finally come to my senses. my eyes still focusing. its dark, very dark. I can only see a small light at the end of the hall.

The smell is horrid. It smells like a home that hasn't been touched but is about to fall apart.

I try touching. I feel something soft but I can run my hand through it. It's like smoke, I can just walk through it, making a path for me as I go.

I start walking. I hear murmurs. I can't make out anything. It's still dark. I feel people all around me but I can't see them. The light is getting dimmer. I'm running towards it.

I'm almost there.

So close I can touch it.

I reach my hand out about to touch it.

It's gone, disappeared.

It's dark now, I can't see anything. There is nothing around me. The pain starts up again. It feels as if I'm struck with glass. My head hurts, I feel dizzy.

My head is feeling light.

My feet feel like they are gone.

Slowly, I start to fade.

I hit the ground, eyes closed.
