::Prologue::

Who am I? What am I? I couldn't remember. I couldn't feel, hear, see, taste, or smell anything. I couldn't feel or taste the saliva and blood in my mouth. I couldn't smell my own breath. I couldn't see my hands. I couldn't hear my constant cries of confusion and fear. It was as if I was dead, yet alive at the same time. My soul was there, but my body was not. Where am I? All I can see is black. Am...am I in hell? Is this what hell is? A black abyss of tension, fear, and confusion? All I knew is that I didn't like this place.

Then...a light. It was no bigger than a firefly's light, but it was there. It shone bright white as it slowly fell from the black sky. More appeared almost as if it had started to snow. Then I could hear something. A light pounding. I realized, this was my heartbeat. My heart is beating but I was still trapped in this unknown place. I could feel a warm sensation surround me. What is happening? I smelled the calming smell of lavendar mixed with a light hint of vanilla. Suddenly, the little white fireflies came together in one bright light.

I had died.
