Wow, it's been quite a while since I've written anything, hasn't it? Well I'm still around. For this story I'm going to specifically ask for no flames as this will have a lot of references to the depression I've been facing for the last year. Don't worry, there will still be plenty of humor in this story, but be prepared for some serious moments as well.
I've been meaning to write this for a while now, or at least something like it, but lately I haven't been able to write anything but annoyingly depressing and obscure poetry. So, without further ado, please enjoy my very first Kingdom Hearts fanfic!
Falling…
Falling…
Falling…
So dark…
So cold…
I'm drowning.
I awoke with a start, desperately gasping for breath. With one hand clutching my heart, I checked my phone before collapsing back on the bed. Only four AM. I squeezed my eyes shut, not wishing to see. The darkness was all around me, engulfing me, swallowing me whole. All I wanted was to go back to sleep, but something was there… Waiting in the darkness. Or maybe it was the darkness itself waiting to consume me. My depression was killing me from the inside out, all I wanted was freedom, and freedom was something I could find only inside the safety of my dreams, but the darkness had penetrated those too.
I buried myself in my sheets, desperate to once again find my dreamland, but I too on edge to sleep. I could feel something watching me, waiting to strike. I hugged my pillow to my chest and tried to keep myself from crying again. It would be morning soon. Whatever it was wouldn't come for me tonight, I was still too strong. The Goddess was on my side.
It was with those final thoughts I let the darkness wash over me, this time not as the enemy, but as a friend, floating me to my lost land of dreams.
