“It’s dark….”

“Everything hurts…”

“Why’s there a light? What is that?”

“Help! I don’t know how I got here! Please!”

“Everything’s so dark…what happened to me?”

– 15 Minuets earlier –

The trees sway as the cool spring breeze blows throughout the forest

“Ahh this breeze is amazing; it’s been so hot recently that I thought it was summer!”

“Let’s enjoy today to the fullest-”

Some strange sound starts deep into the forest

“W-What’s that…”

As you try to take off something makes your legs heavy. “What? Ehh whatever.” You head towards the sound…

“I swear flying never gets less exhaust-”

The sound suddenly pierces your ears

“AHHHHHHH WHAT IS THIS?! AHHH MY EARS!!”

The sound starts to make your mind go numb as it gets higher and louder to levels you never knew were possible. You pass out from the pain after 2 excruciating minutes.

– Back to the present –

“Oh yeah…that sound…Is that what brought me here?”

“Is this? Is this water?”

“Why am I in water? How am I able to breathe?”

“It feels like my entire body is being crushed and my core is pulling everything towards it.”

“AHH it’s getting stronger- I can’t move my arms.”

“Am- am I in the ocean? What kind of torture is this!?”

“What did I do to deserve this?”

“AHHHH my bones are being crushed. I’m going to die…”

As the seconds pass you slowly descend into the darkness that is your own mind and soul.

“I’m going to die…What about my frie- They never actually liked you. – Yes, they did! Wait, what was that?”

“Not ‘What’ but ‘Who’.”

“Who’s there!?”

“Oh, don’t be afraid dear…I’m only your soul.”

“What do you mean ‘your soul’?”

“I’m your soul. The inner version of yourself. I am you.”

“W-What?! How is that even-”

“We really are clueless huh?”

“Why are you so independent of me? Or us? Whatever it is! I thought souls are supposed to be attached and more of like a subconscious that doesn’t directly talk to you?”

“It’s because of where we are. We’re in this place that YOU brought us to.”

“I didn-”

“DIDN’T WHATEVER!! Gosh, you’re so clueless with your actions. I tried to help you, but you didn’t listen. Now we’re here.”

“What do we-”

“AGGHHHHH my body!! WHATS HAPPENING!?”

“It’s the pressure of this place. You’re going to die here.”

“What?! Wh- AGHGHHH!!”

“You’re already dead. Why bother remembering the pain?”

“What…? How?”

“Just forget the pain.”

“Wh…”

Your mind goes numb, and you see a darker black than where you were. You start to feel absolutely nothing.

You’re truly dead.
