it was almost one am, i've been on my phone for too long. i dropped the phone on my chest and closed my eyes. my mind started to wonder-

i suddenly had the feeling in my gut that i was falling, and that the world was moving around without me, i had no idea what was going on. i hit the ground, hard. my eyes hadn't opened yet, and i was honestly scared to open them. but i did, i was amazed by what i saw. it was pitch black out, and i looked behind me.

i was at a playground, not a normal one, but, at the same time a normal playground. there was something about it. i stood up and looked around more, the only light that i could see was from the playground, everything else around me was just a deep, dark, black void.

"rose?" a familiar voice yelled from under the slide.

i shifted my feet slowly over to the playground, i was normally afraid of the dark, and this was even worse. "trist?" i yelled back, a dark figure came out from under the structure and started to run towards me. he crashed into my arms and held me tightly. "rose! are you okay?" he asked panicked. i grabbed his hand and tried not to cry, the darkness was really getting to me.

i looked into his hazel eyes, they were almost black in the darkness. "i'm fine." i said. "where are we though?" i asked looking around once more. as if the moment was not unsettling enough, we heard a rustle in the bush.

"welcome to hell." a distorted and hellish voice said from behind trist and i. i held in a wail and spun around. my chest started to feel tight and i almost passed away when i saw a huge black shadow dog coming towards us.

"who are you?" i said choked up, huddling into trist, he pulled me close. "i am lazurus, the leader of the liminal demons, it's your turn to play the game."

my eyes widened. "game? what game?" i spoke, trist cleared his throat.

"listen here lazzy. we are not playing you stupid game." trist said, my eyes went wide, and the ground started to shake. lazurus let out an earth shaking growl, and the world went dark once again.
