All is black. The black is deep, very deep. I can see, hear, feel, taste, and smell nothing. So many toughts are racing through my head. Where am I? What's going on? Is anyone there? Suddenly, there is a flash of something purple and blue. Now I am scared. What was that? Is it dangerous? Must it be taken care of? It frightens me, but i can't move at all. I feel as if I've stepped into wet cement that has dried impossibly fast. My body is now numb. A prickling on the back of my neck makes me want to turn around, but I can't. It irritates me so that I have become paralyzed. I feel something around where my chest should be, a thumping. It's fast and powerful and constant. It keeps getting faster. The pounding is starting to hurt, but there is nothing I can do to stop it. The prickling feeling has disappeared by now. Though my body is still numb, I begin to take shorter breaths. I feel, now, as if I'm being suffocated. This feeling is terrible. I hear a rasping sound, but it's just me, gasping for air. Though I have never been, I now feel chlaustrophobic. I fear being trapped in this black oblivion. As i feel my body getting weak, I take one last breath. My whole body jolts back to life. The blackness is gone. Now it's blindingly bright. I try to move my arms and legs, but they feel as if they're bound behind me. I am sitting, as it seems, on a wooden chair. There is something in my mouth, it tastes like cloth, and it's choking me. I try to speak, but the only thing I can manage is a pitiful whine. I stop everything I'm doing. It's useless to struggle. I just fully open my eyes and stare ahead.
