I open my eyes to find myself immersed in darkness
Desperately and doubtfully,
I stand, then walk
I stumble, then trip
A sweeping breeze hits my shivering shoulders,
I search hopelessly for any source of light
Where am I?
I kneel down in fear
I feel the hairs on my arms stick up
I run my hands along the floor
I touch something
What is it?
The lights flick on
I open my mouth to scream, and nothing but silence comes out
I try to run, but I’m moving in slow motion
My family lays around me
I look down
Blood on my hands…
Then I wake.
