I was in a dark room with nothing and it seemed like a eternity I was in this place, I could not see anything and not feel my own body or hear the sound of my heartbeat, I was quite calm, even though this was a new situation for me. I did not even bother with panicking as that really would not help with anything, instead i tried to meditate even though i could not feel my body right now. When I calmed my mind and began to focus, I felt myself absorbing the darkness around me, and it was a astonishing amount, that I absorbed into my body, which seemed to be there even thought i could not feel or see it. I somehow feel my existence crack and bend from the flow of darkness, that went inside me. Then a surge of intense pain coursed through me as i felt my body starts to break down and repair itself repeatedly, I wanted to scream out, but I held back the thought, and continued meditating even thought the pain was immeasurable and beyond what I had felt before. I then visualized myself walking forward, deeper into the dark, the pain increased the more I moved, until i thought i could not walk forward anymore, a crack in front of me opened, and it increased in size until it reached the length of a person could walk through it. I could see trees and leaves moving with the wind at the other side of the crack. I did not hesitate and hurried to run through the crack and the moment I touched the surface of the crack, and then I could see my hand forming at the other side of the space, slowly but steady my entire body takes form, until i was through and no longer in the empty dark space.
I quickly looked back and saw, the pitch black place I just was in could be seen, it slowly closed itself making the area behind it visibly until it was no more and only a tall tree with half of it was full of life with branches with plenty of green leaves, and the other side looked barren and pale, with no leaves only the branches swaying with the wind. I then cried for the first time in a long time, as I looked down at my hands and felt the tears dropping down on my hands and some on the ground, It was so intense that i even fell down on my knees and cried, it was tears of happiness as i longer was in that dark and empty place, I did not care about anything else for the moment, except that I no longer has to endure that cold space and intense pain that endlessly poured into him.
I cried for awhile, until I suddenly noticed the sound of birds singing all around me, the longer i listened the more things I heard, and then i felt the wind flowing past me in such a comfortable way that, I just stopped crying and smiled with joy. ´´ Never would I thought that nature would be so beautiful and that it would comfort me in such way´´ I thought for myself as i began to stand up from the ground.
The sun shined brightly in the heaven, revealing the forest around me, and that I was in a opening in the middle of this forest with the the single tree standing in front of me. like a perfect circle the strange tree stood in the centre of this area, the surrounding seemed unfamiliar and I remembered that I went to bed and somehow ended up in that empty horrible place, and now I was in a forest, quite confusing, but I was still glad that I no longer had to endure the pain. As was in thought I then noticed a path some distance away that seemed to lead somewhere, It was vague and at first I could not believe it was there until I looked closer and saw that there was a path into the forest, and it almost blended with the bushes and branches with leaves that seemed to almost hide the path. I followed the path, with the goal of going away from this strange opening and the tree which I had walked out from.
I followed the road for awhile, and felt the sun rays on my skin, I began to sweat after some time, so I had to take some breaks from time to time in the shade, I also noticed that this path seems to be well managed, so I guessed there would be people along this path that would help and guide me towards civilization, so i walked forward with that in mind and hoping that I would met someone soon.
Then I saw from an distance the silhouette of a house it seemed to be made of wood, but i was not sure as it was still some distance away, I could not hold myself as I was filled with hope and joy that, I dashed forward with all my might, the speed which i traveled seemed off as i was faster than i remembered and it took literally no time for me to reach the outskirt of this forest and I could then see clearly the village in front of me.
