Eyes. Staring. Intense. Penetrating. Unable to move. Can't look away. Help. Help me.
Redder than anything else, more fire than the sun, with tinges of brown and yellow that seem to dwindle their furious glow. More darkness than shadow night. More evil than greed. Etched, formed, by hatred.
Unable. Can't. I can't.
Leave me alone. Leave me alone. LEAVE ME ALONE!
Can't look away. Peeling me, seeing through me. Searching me. Able to see everything. Memories, mistakes, past, happiness, sadness. Not shielded. Like a giant frame of film, playing in front of me in a theater. Glued to my seat, strapped to the chair. Mouth gagged. Unable to scream out. To endure. I can't. Can't. I CAN'T.
Make it stop. Please. MAKE IT STOP!
Fire burning my retinas. Smoldering flames melting my eyeballs. Burning my conscience, destroying my core, searing my sense of existence. My essence, scorching my essence into ashen nothingness. Endless. Eternal. Can't stop. Can't stop it, ever.
I'm sorry. I'M SORRY! PLEASE!
...Jabbing me. My face. Something is poking me. Disrupting. Distracting me. Saving me. Save me. I need....to be...saved....
