"Flee" he said as I ran through the forest thinking over and over in my mind. Why was I to leave the life that i had lived. Why was it that I was being thrown away into an abyss of darkness. Why was it that I. I am now becoming someone else. Someone who isn't me.
I ran in that abyss for quite sometime the old man's voice still ringing in my head. "flee." But why. Why was I to flee. What had happened." I had stopped at an old willow tree with a lake on the other side of it. I walked down to it kneeling down and staring at my reflection. I saw myself and the water started to ripple. I had disappeared. What was happening to me. Was I slowly dizzolving into the world of the unneeded. Was I soon to parish into the world of the dead? I sat down still talking to myself. Why was I turning into this? This...This is not me. I had done nothing wrong. Nothing at all. But yet that man had lectured me till no end telling me that the end was near for my home and that I had to leave before it happened. I had to save myself. But what? What was I to save myself from. Why is it that I always get caught up in these types of things and never shown the light as to what the situation is about.
The area around me now looked like blue and white. It covered in the fresh snow that had just fallen earliar that day. But the moon really did make it look beautiful. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and then opened my eyes and let out the air as it poured out in a cloud of smoke it seemed dizzolving into the air. Much like I was. Was I only air now. Slowly leaving like my breath? I pulled my scarf tighter around my next and put my hands in the opposite sleeves and huddling into a somewhat ball. It was freezing but I had no where else to go.
I shut my eyes slowly as my back slowly fell against the tree. I burried my face in my oversized coat and drifted to sleep.
I dreamt that night. About...a lot of things. The love I had for my family. My home. Friends and others. But it slowly burnt out like a dieing candle in the cold winter that was blowing snow as violent as a storm at sea. It all perished leaving me in the darkness in which I was to now call my home. Darkness. Darkness was my home. Would I dwell on this? Would this soon overcome me?
The darkness spread for what seemed like forever. But somewhere there was a light. A light that was allowing me to still see where I was going. I led me on and on forever until I saw this tiny little yellow light. So tiny you couldn't even do anything to see what it was but to get closer. What this was. I had no idea. I never reached it.
