My eyes open but I see nothing, all alone, no one is there. I hear strange noises, people shuffling around, I hear a beeping noise. A woman's voice is there but I can't make it out. Where am I? Why can't I see anyone, why am I consumed by darkness? I feel a touch on my arm and a strange garbled voice. Sounds familiar but I can't make it out. I try to speak but feel a choking sensation. Where am I? Why can I only see darkness? I'm afraid and lonely here. Can I move? NO! What is going on? Where is my mother? Why am I in darkness? Why can't I scream out for help. MOM! Where are you, Mom, why can't I see you.
I feel a touch on my cheek, wetness falls on my forehead. The touch seems so familiar, but who is it? It comforts me, it feels right. I want to see who it is. I want this person to tell me where I am and why I am in the dark. I'm afraid of the dark, it seems to be consuming me. Please God, help me, I don't like the dark.
Sudden pressure on my chest. What is happening now? I feel like electricity is flowing through my body. My body is jerking. Why can't I tell them to stop? Why can;t I move? God please take me from this scary dark place. Don't leave me alone.
A bright light! I can see a bright light. It's so calm and tranquil. I feel urged to go toward the light. Finally, a way out of the blackest dark I have ever known. I am being puled toward the light. How calm I feel. I am leaving the darkness behind. I am moving, no floating toward the light.
