He sat with his head in his hands, fighting the invading darkness. Not yet. Couldn't give in just yet. He had to find her...find some trace of her. He couldn't give up when he was so close. He shook his head and brought his hands back to the keyboard.
-Are you there? Please be there....I've waited so long...Please...
He glanced at the screen. Nothing. Nothing at all. Who was he kidding? The girl...real? No. Never. They were just dreams. Just...
I'm here.
He started and looked up. No. This was not happening...with trimbling hands he typed in a responce.
-I'm...no, no...not...it can't...
Why are you so sad?
-I'm…alone. So alone...
You...remember.
He blinked. What the...
-Remember what?
Something.....inside of you remembers
He quickly devoted his full attenncition to the conversation, typing quickly now.
-Who are you?
You know, don't you? You remember...her?
-I remember....no, it's just in my dreams...
Your dreams...
-There's this girl. I don't know her.....but she's always there. Always....always her.
I bring a message.
-From who?
Her.
-What is the message?
You are connected.
