Prologue

I was falling through darkness. Although I could feel my eyes opening, I couldn’t see. I exhale sharply and reach out in aspiration of finding something to hold onto. I try to shriek but all that came out was silence. There was a quick perforate of blood starting to percolate down my arm. Only now, once I stopped grappling, did I register the deafening silence. It seemed like an eternity of stillness when I heard her. The hushed song resounding, loud and lucid, in the blackness where I appeared to have stopped. “Don’t!” I wanted to say but no words came out. I was trapped in the stillness, listening to her hymn for who knows how long.
