You awake in a dark,secluded place.



The entirety of it all was warm,but welcoming.

You could hear a close- but distant - thumping in the atmosphere.

The very ,thick, atmosphere.


You felt like you couldn't breathe but somehow still able to.



You begin to wriggle and move around as if trying to squeeze your way through the thick,warm substance. But your attempts we're for nothing.


You we're stuck. But you never gave up, and continued to move around.


And much to your surprise, you feel a minuscule muffled vibration begin to shake all around you.


You hear the distant thumping become louder.


The moment it happened had frightened you, and had caused you to move some more.



You wanted to scream, but didn't even have the strength to move your mouth.


For a second , It felt like a burning paralysis had struck your body.



But you could do nothing as you continue to float in the warm entity.



As time passed by , you began to fall weak and tired. And with only the warm abyss as your friend, you drift off to sleep.


……..


Something smells…good.


Sweet even.


You start to stretch and move around as if you haven't moved before.


And begin to flex your arms and hands. Sometimes your legs.


It felt good.


But not as good as the sweet scent that began to fill your senses.


You could almost taste the flavor of spiced cinnamon as it clashes with the fresh bread and melted glaze.



It felt so real, like it was physically in your mouth and smothering your taste buds.



You never wanted it to end.



……….



You don't know how long you've been asleep, but you wanted this to end.


The once open-spaced and warm entity, was now a cramped burning box that continued to grow smaller.



You felt claustrophobic. You wanted out.



You began to move your limbs in different motions and pushed your palms on the solid surface that continued to close in.



Your heart-now thumping loudly in panic- continued to jump out of your chest as your fear grew.


What if you never leave this place?


What if you'll slowly suffocate from your own thoughts and die?


But before you could slowly fall into the brinks of insanity, you notice the small shining light down below.


A way out.



And without any hesitation, you quickly start to claw your way through the substance.



You're almost there.



Just grab onto i-.
