...I began to sink in, let it consume me. There was no getting out of this. It was inescapable. It might not be too difficult to escape from something you can see, but what about when it's something you can't feel, can't hear, can't touch?

A ghost? No,they don't exist. Even if they did, it's still something worse...something you can't exorcise.

I felt so detached from reality. I felt like i was drowning. All of a sudden, i couldn't breathe, as i watched the obscure vision sink my head into the water...the incessant, dark water. I didn't want to move; i wanted it to happen. All senses left me, just with my own thoughts.

No...i wasn't dying. But i wasn't even in the ocean and i felt like the tides were pulling me in, never letting me leave my worst nightmare. I wasn't  in a burning building but the smoke was seeping into my lungs, impairing my voice box, leaving me with no words, speechless. I didn't  know why i was acting as if my words were ever heard anyway.  

I couldn't trust anyone in this world, but you. Now you can't trust anyone in this world but me. But i'm gone.         - Ember
