Sympathy
By M. E. Gibbs

There's light.
Everywhere there's light.
Burning light.

Like liquid pain.

Confusion.


Pain.

Too much pain.
Can't think
Can't breath.

Only pain.
Too much pain.

I think I scream. But everything blurs together...

Too much pain.
Can't see
Can't hear.
Just pain.


Then
Impact.
More pain.

Then
Darkness.

***********
Place
Above me.
Below me.

Up.
Down.
Things in between.


Me.

I am here.
In between.
In between up and down.


The middle?

Where?

Here.
...
Me.

Me?

Who?

Me? Who?

WHO
AM
I?

.....

I
Don't
Know.



I don't know.

It hurts.
Everything hurts.

I pull myself...up?
Must be up.
Pulled myself down...doesn't make any sense.

So I pulled myself up.

It's dark.
Why is everything so dark?

I can't see.
I can't see!
I CAN'T SEE A FU-


Oh wait...my eyes are closed.

That's why I can't see anything.

...

I open them.

Light!Hurts!Pain!
headache.

.....I guess there's a reason why they were closed...

Ouch.

My vision clears.

Everything around me
Green.
It's all green.
So, I'm in a forest?
No, not a forest. A jungle?
Maybe, that seems about right.

So I'm in a jungle.

That answers where.
What was the next question?
Heh...I guess that was the next question...okay so now all I need is the answer.

Why.
That was the next question.
Why?
That doesn't help me...

I guess the answer is...I don't know.
The answer is I don't know.

Moving on, then...next question.

How.
That's a good one.
How come I just woke up in a jungle?
How did I get here?
How come I hurt so much?

I wish I had some answers.

Okay, next question.
The one I've been dreading.
Who.

Who?

Who
Am
I?

Well!?

Anyone know?!

I sure don't.


That's not a good thing.



In fact that's a bad thing.

I don't know who I am.


Oh crap.

....
Well, since I don't know how I got here...I guess I might as well go somewhere
else.
I stagger to my feet and walk off through the forest.

I think I've figured out one thing.

I'm certainly not going to find my answers here.

Disclaimer...I don't own anybody...bla...bla...steal and be tormented by the demons of hell...bla..bla...or my lawyers...everybody happy now?

Author's note: Why can I only write depressing Sonic the Hedgehog fan fic? Anybody got an answer? ANY ONE?! Okay guess not... I know this one didn't make any sense. The next chapter will. And such...and so on...okay, I'll go write the second chapter now.
