 /////   I stand in a cavern at the edge of the void, I know the place too well, every night the dreams bring me back to this place, I could read the imprints on the wall as well as the lines of my hand

"hello again"

the voice is like a knife blade, wispy and mustered up, with enough frequency to know that it was a woman's, somewhat like my mother, but too ghastly to be sure. In the dreams, I always find myself stranded in this place, everyone left me here, deserted, isolated. I can hear the footfalls echoing, tapping sounds against the stone-cold floor. The only other sound is water rushing through the streams that have opened up in the cracks, TAP --- TAP the sky is dark and leaves its stains on the shadow, the air is dark, damp, it reeks of dismay, it always reeks of dismay, and melancholy... And I see all those faces again, my mother's, my father's, friends I left behind, and my love, Adread. His voice is the only hallucination I await  /////
