Darkness.
It was closing in on me. Impenetrable darkness surrounds me chocking out any light.
Cold. Trapped. Alone.
How will I get out of here? Where is here? Why am I here?
"Yo!" I scream out. Only silence answers. The black encompasses me, abundant unending darkness. I start to move through the darkness, desperately trying to find a way out of here. I cannot shake the feeling of dread.
Then a voice answers, it's indistinct. I heard it, but can't make it out. I call out "Hello?" Nothing. I start running toward the last sound, I call out "HELLO?"
Nothing. Was the voice really there? I feel the dread creep into my soul. The first tear falls, and then the second, soon I collapse in the dark I begin to weep. Alone. Lost. Terrified. I pick myself up and start to walk, moving through the impenetrable dark wondering where I am.
Then the voice sounds again but louder this time. I still can't make it out, I run in the direction of the voice calling out. I can't stop running, the hope of finding something else compelling me to run. Who else is here? I hear the voice again, this time it is louder and closer. "Dude whose there?" I call out. "Hero, Hero" the voice chides forebodingly. The voice is low, and musical. I freeze at the sound of my nick name making my blood run cold.
"Dude how do you know my name? Who are you?" Do I really want to know who the voice belongs to? There is a pause, then the voice starts to laugh, a low throaty laugh. I shudder at the sound; I start to move back through the darkness.
"Hero, Hero" the voice tisks again, the voice is following me. I hear it in front of me. I am terrified I want to know who is chasing me. I turn around and run. Eventually I run it a wall. I freeze, where am I? I hear the voice's footsteps closing in on me."Dude what do you want?" I demand. Silence. I stand there like a fly caught in the spider's web. I dare not move.
"Hero" the voices answers menacingly, drawing ever closer. I try to scream but I can make no sound."Hero" the voice calls, from close in front of me. I can feel his breath blowing on the strands of my hair. The he wraps his long strong arms around me. The person is a few heads taller than me, I come up to his shoulder. I struggle to break free but he is too strong."Let me go!" I exclaim. He laughs; I can feel the strands of my hair brush against my face. His arms begin to loosen their hold of voice whispers softly in my ear "Hero", his hand traces my shoulder and begins to walk away pulling me with him. Shoving away from the figure, I start to run through the dark blindly.
"HERO" he howls the pursuing after me. I push myself to run faster. "Hero" he exclaims. I collapse from exhaustion , I can't run any longer. "Hero" he chides, I try to move but I am trapped. The voice kneels next to me.
"Hero, hero" the voice reprimands. I feel the figure drawing closer still. I know that I am caught then. . .I open my eyes to see a pair of sparkling blue eyes gazing into mine.
"Francis what the hell dude?" I question.
