As violent as it ended, it returned.

I could feel it in my veins, spreading to every cell in my body, every nerve, every inch of skin... Like a surge of feverish electricity, like a riptide of wildfire...

Life.

Such an unstoppable force had been restored to lifeless bones…

It vibrated throughout me, wild and furious.

I was fully awake, dripping with life but drowning in darkness.

I was hungry… Thirsty… What was this fiery sensation taking over me?

I am again but I'm not…

Who is this?

Who... Who am I?

Who are they?

I was surrounded by faces that call a name I know I should know.

Something is wrong.

I know something is wrong.

I shouldn't be here…

I shouldn't feel this…

This… This burning within is consuming my soul, devouring what's left of it…

All I see is red and it's blinding my sight…

They speak but I can't hear them.

The only thing I can do is feel; feel this rage inside, this hunger, this urge…

I can't control it and it's driving me crazy.

I am again but I'm not…
