I'm suffocating. Drowning. Falling into a slow death. I can feel their clawed fingers reaching out to me, waiting to pull me under and devour me. I don't know who they are, but they're grabbing me and I'm trying to get free. I fight. I scream. I beg. I cry. But they just keep pulling. I can feel their fingers digging into my skin, their teeth sinking in…..ripping me apart. And its agony….like a fire burning from the inside out….swallowing me…consuming all that I am. But just as suddenly as it all began it stopped. It's like I'm hanging in this limbo and any second I fear I might fall….but I'm floating. Suspended in this place and filled with a pain that lingers and refuses to disappear. I open my eyes but all I can see is blackness….a darkness that covers me and everything around me. Where am I?
I hear a voice, but it's muffled and too far away. There's a hand on my shoulder….shaking me…..and I scream…I beg them to let me go….but they don't. Whoever it is keeps shaking me and they feel closer now and a heat surrounds me. It's so hot but it's different. It's not like that fire I felt before. It's just warm and it seems so familiar…..like I should know who this heat belongs to. And there's that voice again, calling my name….it sounds worried….scared. Suddenly things begin to click….I know that voice. JACOB!
I struggle against the fog that clouds my mind and vision…. I've got to get out of this darkness. I have to get back to Jacob…..I have to tell him I'm sorry; I have to wake up…JACOB! I scream, can he even hear me or is it just echoing off the walls of my mind.
JACOB….JACOB…..JACOB…..JACOB…..it becomes a chant as I struggle to open my eyes. I'm crying now, I just want to wake up; I just want to get back to my Jacob. My Jacob…is he really mine?
