I woke up in a room that had little to no light. I felt the wall of the room. I felt creases in the wall and could tell that they were large bricks. The bricks felt oddly wet as i stood up, leaning on the wall for support. I heard water dripping some where else in the room. I rubbed my opened my eyes from a squint.
When my eyes finally adjusted, i noticed that the room was far bigger than i thought it was. On the oppisite side of the room from where i stood was an open door and beyond that was a light.
I decided that my best chance to leave that strange place was to go to the light.
I was walking towards the door i felt a slight pain in my temple. Quickly that pain multiplied and i was doubling over in pain.
Images raced through my mind . Each one only lasted a split second but i remember all of them.
A baby sleeping. A baby crying . Some man bleeding on the floor. That man being dragged by a dark figure . The baby crying. A bloody carpet. The baby screaming. A woman crying and holding the baby.
The images stopped justas quickly as they started. I slowly stood back up and returned to walking to the light.
"What were those images of? Was that man me? Was the baby me?" I asked myself. My mind raced with questions.
When i reached the door i looked through it and turned right. A dark long hall way. I turned left and saw the same thing. Exept at the very end of the hall was the bright light i saw earlier.
It was moving. Moving very quickly.
I started to run after it. The hall way was long and the light was moving faster than i was.
I started to feel tired. Then i felt exausted . I kept running despite my pain and exaustion. Then i tripped and fell on the cold , wet, stone floor.
I tried to get up.
My limbs wouldnt moved. I tried to move them as but no matter what, i had no control.
I moved my head (the only body part that seemed to obey me) and looked down the hall.
The light had stopped. Then it started to move towards me .
It moved quickly and its intesity grew.
When the light finally reached me it stopped. My eyes hurt from the light it produced.
"I will not allow you to leave" it whispered in a very deep voice
And it disapeared insantly and light ingulfed me.
