A Shadow's Chance

Blurry

Everything is just a blur. A blur of faces and places, non of which make any sense. Black spots attack my vision, the world seems tilted, as if I'm seeing a different way now.
I can't hear, not with the ringing, it's always there, mocking me. I can't remember what it's like to hear, yet I can remember that once I could.
It smells like chemicals, the kind that is cheap, so it's just straight up chemicals without that lemon sent they try to add to cover it up.
Something cold is on my back, smooth and flat, like a table. A table. Such a strange word, table. I know what it is, yet I don't recall ever seeing one, not once. The air around me, its feeling thick, like I'm moving through jello, yet I'm going fast.
My mouth taste like copper, or perhaps iron, something metallic. It makes my tongue feel heavy, like it is attached to an ton of lead.
The blurred faces around me move smoothly around the 'table', gathered things. The darkness finally claims me, and for second my hearing clears up.

"..Shadow..blood.."

Then I finally fall into the black, wondering if it would be the last time.

"Please.." someone begged "just hear me out, you can't do this.."
She sounded frantic, as if this one thing didn't happen right now, the world might end.

I can't relate. My world have already ended, for I am nothing. I notice for once that ringing is gone, leaving my head feeling strangely empty. I'm nothing, yet I must be something, for nothings don't exist, for they are nothing. Strange concept really.

"There is nothing I can do to help, I'm sorry. She's gone." A different voice spoke. This one was male, but he sounded tired as well, physical though. They were similar, both tired. That I can relate with, or I could anyway. I used to be always tired, now I can't feel anything.

"It's all my fault.." the women now sobbing. She sounded like she was directly in my ear, that if I reached over I could help her, hold her. I don't know her, yet I feel like I should.
Footsteps faded away and the room was left to quiet again.
There was a bright light nearby, illuminating the darkness around it.

So this was it, the famous 'light at the end of the tunnel'. I have lost someone to this tunnel before, someone important, yet I can't remember who. My brain still feels foggy, like half of it is locked up, pushed down by something. The light was better then nothing, then this suffocating darkness. My body floating towards the light, as if moving through clouds.
As I neared the light i felt safer, like there was nothing wrong anymore. My neck started to sweat as I got closer, suddenly feeling nervous. 'Is it really this easy?" I thought to my self. A voice spoke behind me, chilling my bones.

"Is is ever that easy?"

I spun around to see nothing but black. I looked around, then started to run toward the light, trying to escape the strange voice. Suddenly, it spoke out again.

"Oh trust me, you don't want to go there. Your not ready."

It's spoke, almost sounding amused. As if I could try to run, but it knew it would win, not mater what. I tried to speak, but the ringing started to return in my ears again.
Just then, the light in front of me went out.

"If she makes it through, do you think she will be a snob?" A voice asked.

It didn't feel like a dream anymore. I could hear fine, and from what I can tell I was on a some sort of bed.

"Nah, she looks more like a nerdy person, see she's wearing a anime bracelet." Another spoke out, this one a female. 'I didn't know I had a bracelet on' I thought, now focusing on the thing on my left wrist. 'Apparently I do'. The voices continued to talk as I felt my grip on reality weaken, and my body slowly fade back into the land of darkness.

"Hey!" A young girl cried out, giggling as and older women spun her around,"put me down!" She yelled. The young girl had white hair that was up in a ponytail with an purple ribbon. Her brown eyes sparkled in the sun, absorbing its rays.
"Hmmm I don't know!" The women, presumably the young girls mother, pretended to ponder. She had brown hair and the same eyes as the girl. A grin graced her lips as she put the girl on the ground.
"I'm alive!" Yelled the young girl, running around in circles.
"Yes, yes you are. No go wash up, I'm starting diner and I need my head chef!" The mother said, starting to walk towards a house.
"Yes mam!" The girl said, pretending to salute before rushing off.

The brick house in front of them looked standard, a house you could easy overlook if it weren't for the fact the whole outside was covered in doodles from chalk.

My brain felt fuzzy again, like someone shoved cotton balls in it. The ringing was back, like a misquote that wouldn't leave me alone. As black spots started to invade my vision again, words broke through the static.

"Come on Chase! We don't have all night!" The mother called out, walking into the old brick house.

Then my head once again returned to darkness.
