Sakuya Kumashiro : Yugi :: Tsunami : Sasami

…. I'm afraid of the dark.

Why?

Frozen in a sub dimension, immersed in darkness, I wondered why. A
child of six, condemned to an eternity for… for what?

…I don't think I was supposed to create my own playmates. When I
did, we played. This was what I was created to do, but somehow,
they decided to punish me, because my fun was hurting others.

Was this my fault?

No.

They made it so that the only way to escape loneliness was to run
free with creatures conjured from nothing by my mutated mind,
forced into existence. As I had been. If I had seen this hell I would
be 'living', I would have chosen never to be.

Fear still defines me. Existing in a cell for thousands of years,
trapped by an archangel empress for powers that were no fault of
mine… What fate has dealt was a rigged deck. The empress would be
idolized for as long as my lifetime and more, eons beyond the planet
ceased to exist. Yes, the wonderful, saintly empress, who locked a
child away in her own tomb, immersed in darkness and crushed down
by thick, suffocating vines.

Remembering this, I shudder. Heartless bitch. Small and squalling, I
was hauled downward into an ominous black shroud, and she smiled
gently down at me as my throat contracted. I screamed, and
screamed, and screamed…. Please….

"No! Don't! PLEASE! I'M SORRY FOR PLAYING! DON'T! NO! DON'T
LOCK ME AWAY! PLEASE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I'M SO AFRAID!
I'M… I'm afraid of the… dark… NOOOOO! KAMI, PLEASE, PLEASE SAVE
ME! I'M AFRAID OF THE DARK! I CAN'T BREATHE! MERCY! I'M CRYING
MERCY! LET ME GO, I'LL DO ANYTHING, JUST PLEASE…."

Stone walls closed above me, the world around unable to hear my
last, guttering plead…

"Please don't leave me alone in the dark…"

It was so easy for her to lock away the experiment-gone-wrong,
condemning me to an eternity in cruel darkness, alone and frozen.

Worship the empress, people of Jueri (sp)….

Worship the empress with the daring courage to break a six-year-old
child and cast her into hell.

Darkness still frightens me.

Too bad I live in it.
