A very short chapter this week. The next one will be longer. I won't post another chapter next week, because of Christmas and everything. Also I have a new poll on my profile. Please vote.
Hallucinations
Angelina saw several things as she hallucinated. Most of which were random nothings and things like vampire cows and ax-murdering mummies, but at one time she saw something else entirely.
She found herself wearing a white dress in front of a large tunnel, made of a substance she had never seen before and couldn't describe. It was almost alive and green. There were no better existing words for it, however, and Angelina found herself at a loss.
She saw her parents floating at the end of the long, indescribable tunnel. They had sad eyes as they looked at her. Behind them were Grandma Mary and Grandpa Stuart. They too looked at her miserably. Did they not want to see her?
Angelina tried to go toward them, but she couldn't move. Her arms wouldn't obey her, and her legs seemed to be bound with invisible bindings. And her family members didn't try to come to her, either. Her head hurt like heck, and her lungs ached as she breathed.
Her mouth was the only thing that seemed to be working. She called out to them, but they showed no signs of hearing her.
No part of her mind processed the fact that these people were dead, and she, hopefully, was still alive.
Eventually Angelina's family members started floating farther and farther away until Angelina could not see them anymore. "Don't go," she called. "Please don't go." The tunnel closed up. Feeling greatly disappointed, Angelina stopped trying to move, and everything slowly grew black.
