To where, when, and for whom was beyond the ability to ask. I felt as if my entire being was stretching, the nothingness before me sucking me in slowly, twisting my very soul like it was it's plaything, like I was there for it's amusement. Before long I couldn't feel most of my body, the only thing I felt was a sharpened terror that reached itself into me like a serrated blade.
Many people say that you can bring yourself out of this, that it's only in your mind... They are wrong. Enough pain inevitably destroys a person, errodes them into an empty vessal suitable for nothing but demise.
Eternity is often described as a paradise, something that is everyone's eventual goal. Wherever I was now, I couldn't fathom what spending forever in here must have been like. In what seemed like years, my fears and doubts ate away at me, I pleaded for the noghtingness before me to end it, to bring it all to a close. I begged it to kill me, anything, anything for the fear and agony to stop. Of all the things I might have expected to hear, I heard a laugh.
The thing that kept me here laughed at me, laughed at my misery, laughed at all my suffering and it laughed at the fact that I couldn't do anything to make it stop.
Gaining the strength to glance up, it was then I gazed into an eye that didn't look at me. It looked into me, past the shell that made up my body and into the depths of who and what I truly was. It expected me to scream, to panic and beg for mercy, but I had grown too weak to do what it expected of me.
Keeping our eyes linked, it pulled me in with its intentions. Pain riddled my body once more, causing jittering and shivering that went down to my bones. I came to the conclusion that this was my end. I was going to die, be wiped from existence and fade into this ethereal darkness. Then came heat, upon opening my own eyes I was directly in front of the demon's one tremendous eye. I broke, gave partially into its expectations, and cried. All of my terror was revealed, falling out and leaving me more vunerable than I had ever previously been in all the time I've lived.
It seemed satisfied, and lowered me down. I don't know if there is a higher power, if there is an all mighty being, but at this moment if it had asked I would have bowed down as if it were one. My suffering was over, it had its fun and was releasing me. The message never came in words but I felt in burn into my mind forever, that it would watch over me, and perhaps help me, in return for something. What it wanted came out garbled, the whole scene vanished before I could ask what.
(That was a real nightmare I had. Thoughts/concerns are welcome, as well as reviewers.)
