Arthur's Point of View
________________
After reaching for the light, everything stood still in my eyes. It was as if time had stopped before me, with the dark environment my only company. My brain refused to think, and my body never reacted to my instructions.
But within a few seconds, all the numb feeling changed. There was a tingling sensation around my fingers, and my legs jerked. The air surrounding me entered inside my body, with my lungs and mouth gasping for oxygen. The feeling was like I climbed and ran up the mountain's top and all the air that I could grasp left me.
The panting sound became audible in my ears, reminding me of the value of life in this world. There was also something pressing my knees. But I paid that weight with no concern, since I remembered something before coming to this place.
"I'm alive?!" I instinctively shouted, while I peeled my eyes open and sat from where I slept.
