d e t a c h m e n t, a sonic the hedgehog fanfic

Author's Note- I wrote this just a few weeks ago on paper, and decided that it was worth posting. Why the hell not, I thought. Also, I included very little punctuation and did not capitalize any letters for a specific reason. Well, here it is...

d e t a c h m e n t

i sat up in bed

jolted awake by a nightmare

and opened my eyes

to see

a place unfamiliar to me

white walls

no floors

blinking lights

(virtual prison)

how did i get here

what is this strange place

and how can i

get out

was the first thing that

i thought

getting to

my feet

and stumbling

as i did the world

twisted its shapes blurring and

coming together in one

incoherent blob

more voices echoed startling me

Shadow Shadow

enough i've had enough please

get me out end this

oh where am i

i have

wandered away from myself away

from love

from security

from happiness

from sanity

help i'm losing my mind

help i've fallen into darkness

(and can't get out)

save me

i want to remain pure

Maria Maria

the blinking lights have vanished

alone in a white room

white black dark light

indistinguishable from

the rest of the world

so cold

so dark

neverending pain

(i'm gone)

hello goodbye i'm slipping away

the shadow of myself is

fading away into nothingness

(i'm done)

my heart pounds stops cold

the end

is here

slipping away into the vortex

of madness wildly grasping for

a reality that has

become unhinged

i wonder will i die

or or

shall i succumb to insanity
