Think hard. Force yourself to remember' I prompted my brain to pull itself together. But all my formidable fears and unanswered questions were only making my aching head thud harder as I fell back onto my pillow and closed my eyes with a groan. This endless brightness reflecting back into my eyes was doing my head no favours. I couldn't stay here in bed like this. I had to figure this out. I needed to find a way to escape. Slowly, I sat back up and pushed my legs over the side of the bed. My bare feet met the cold, white floor and I weakly shifted my weight onto them. The room spun. I stumbled forward. Stars blurred my vision and then suddenly amidst the white, everything went black and I collapsed onto the floor.

I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.
