Stone Cold

My eyes open and I see only darkness.

I wake a bit more, and I hear only silence.

I am alone.

I have no idea how I got here, or even where 'here' is.

But I don't have time to think about that, because my eyes are adjusting and I can see most of my surroundings under the dim, almost nonexistent light from the bulb attached to the ceiling of this cement walled room.

It's no longer completely dark.

And I'm not actually alone.
