Darkness…it's all that I know…
…It's been so long since I've seen the light,
I'm not even sure if there is one in this endless…
Abyss…
The heavy sound of dripping water, like somebody forgot to shut the tap off properly…It's all I hear now, that and the cry of Chains, but right now they are so silent for some reason. I paid no attention, I never do, I just sit here and wait for the years to go by.
How long have I been down here, in this Abyss? It's been too long for me to keep track of, and even the watch on my wrist has forgotten the time, always jumping to different hours and minutes. Despite the fact that it's broken, it's a habit for me to look at it every chance I get, a habit that I can't seem to break.
So that's why I'm sat here, in dark water, staring down at the watch on my wrist. It read 3:20, but then it jumped straight to 7:54. Not taking my eyes away from the watch, I sat silently. I've even forgotten what I look like, that's how long I've been down here, there are all kinds of furniture in this Abyss, not to mention the broken walls that float around, but not a single thing will grant me the wish of seeing my reflection.
It's far too dark for me to see myself in the water below me, I've tried before but all I see is a blurry shadow, nothing I can do will show me my face. Perhaps that's best, maybe my face is not something worth seeing, I'm too afraid to find out, but I'll never show that fear, of course.
I have a vague clue of what my hair is like, but it's too dark to tell, all I know is that it passes my knees and just covers my eyes…I have no idea what my eyes look like, either. My clothing is rather simple; a white dress that reaches my shins, with some bits of black on it, I don't have anything on my feet, not that I can feel them anyway, they're so cold that I can barely move them anymore, which is why I mainly rely on floating down here.
I watch as my watch jumps time again, listening to the dripping without moving a single muscle. But then I could hear something, a melody, somewhere in the distance. It was like that of a music box, I've found enough of them down here to know what they are, and this one was playing a light hearted tune.
I looked up from my watch and stared off into the darkness, the faded dark outlines of furniture catching my eye, but I still listened out for that melody. It seemed familiar to me somehow, like I'd heard it somewhere before, but there is a small problem; I can't remember anything from before I was dragged into Abyss.
I continued to listen to the song, allowing it to ease my stressed heart and cleanse my being for however long it would last, but it wasn't long until the melody began to fade away, and soon the only noise I could hear was the dripping of water. Silenced yet again…
