As l waited for the darkness to envelope me, l wondered what exactly was going to happen next. I mean there seemed to be much going on when l was re-called back to the space and l wanted to know exactly what would happen after this world. This was a failure to add to my now ever growing list of fails in character worlds and honestly l was starting to get frustrated. 

I pushed all these thoughts to the back of my mind to clear my thoughts so l could enter the space but when l opened my eyes, instead of seeing an all white space that l thought l would see, there was just darkness.

The darkness stretched as far as my eyes could see and l was extremely frightened of the lack of anything in the space. There was only one person: me.

I looked around me but l could only see darkness. I tried to move around and explore but my body could not move as if rooted to the ground. Panicking, l imagined every bad scenario that could be happening to me at that moment.

'Is this hell?' Because if it was, l am sure l would have seen fire everywhere and devils streaking to and fro in glee, collecting lost souls such as mine. There was nothing there. As if no one existed. As if existence was nothingness. 

'Am l still alive?' That was a dumb question. I am dead. As dead as a doornail. So far, everything that has happened to me has been out of this world. I died, l world-hopped and interacted with different people, experienced adulthood, and then died again? But not actual death? I don't know any more.

I am trapped here with no way of getting myself out. I can't move my body. I can only see. Just seeing nothing and waiting for nothing may lead to my own madness. How much time has it been since l arrived here? If it's only minutes, that can't be true because l feel like l have been here for years.
