It's very dark, always so dark in this place. I don't know where I am, but it scares me. I want to get out but no matter how much I cry or scream, I am always met with cold, dark silence. Regardless, I do not stop searching for a way out, running in any direction in hopes of finding the way out of this nightmare.
The pounding of my heart drums against my ears as I sprint into the nothingness, searching desperately for a light, a sound, anything, to let me know that I am not alone, that I'm still alive and that this is not the end for me. I force myself to keep running, putting one foot in front of another. As I take another step into the darkness, the ground beneath my feet gives way and I find myself collapsing into the emptiness, my heart sinking to the pit of my stomach
